Anopheles nuneztovari is a species of mosquito in the order Diptera native to South America.
The species was named by its discoverer, Arnoldo Gabaldón, to honor the Venezuelan entomologist Manuel Núñez Tovar.
[1][2] Anopheles nuneztovari has been collected in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, French Guiana, Guyana, Panama, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela.
nuneztovari have been collected in fresh water exposed to full sun or in partial shade in marshy areas, ponds and lakes, permanent or temporary ground pools, tracks of animals and wheels, and along stream margins.
[3] Their occurrence near villages increases their importance as vectors of human disease.
