International audience. The Anopheles maculipennis complex includes the most important malaria vectors of the western Palearctic. Anopheles maculipennis s.s., one member of this complex, is a reported vector in the Middle East. Here we describe the isolation of 15 microsatellite polymorphic loci from the An. maculipennis s.s. genome, displaying a high among individual diversity (0.37–0.77) in a sample from France. Three loci displayed a significant departure from Hardy–Weinberg proportions, suggesting a substantial frequency of null alleles. The remaining 12 loci are good candidates for further genetic studies in this species.
