Unfed P32-labeled Anopheles stephensi mysorensis Sweet and Rao, less than 24 hours old, were released. Both male and female mosquitoes were found to fly 1.8 km overnight. Tagged mosquitoes were captured up to a distance of 4.5 km. First gonotrophic cycle was completed in 3–4 days and the second in 6–8 days. No tagged mosquitoes were captured later than 9 days after release.
