The salivary chromosome map of Anopheles noroestensis is presented and proposed as the standard for this species. The complement consists of 5 paired elements; a telocentric X-chromosome, right and left arms of submetacentric chromosome 2 and right and left arm of metacentric chromosome 3. The banding pattern is compared with several other species of the subgenus Nyssorhynchus. The highest level of homology is with members of the Argyritarsis series, a slightly lower level with An. aquasalis and An. nuneztovari, and the least homology with An. albimanus.
