Ecological and genetic studies of malaria mosquitoes of the Black Sea coast have not been recently conducted despite increasing human-caused environmental changes in the area. In this study, we investigated the species composition, geographical distribution, ecological preferences, and chromosomal polymorphism of malaria mosquitoes of the Crimean Peninsula and the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus. Species were diagnosed using a combination of morphological, cytogenetic, and molecular markers. The
