In this second paper of a serie devoted to the afrotropical anophelines, the authors suggest the sinking in nomen dubium of 3 species and subspecies of the Malagasy Biogeographical SubRegion: Anopheles (Anopheles) fuscicolor soalalaensis Grjebine, 1954, An. (Cellia) arnoulti Grjebine, 1966 and An. (Cellia) courdurieri Grjebine, 1966. They show, too, at the larval and imaginal stages, the main morphological characteristics of two groups of species. At least, they stress the need of further research on the anophelines of the Malagasy Sub-Region.
