In India, the malaria control programme had started in 1953. The base of the vector Borne Disease Control Programme is to identify various species of mosquito which acts to transmit the diseases like Malaria, Filaria, Dengue, Chikungunya, Japanese Encephalitis etc. Nashik district a malaria appeared zone. The geographical status of this district is mainly a causative phenomenon of this disease. The prevalence of elephantiasis is also fairly large in this area. The number of patients is very high as most of the peoples prefer the private medical practitioners whose record is usually not recorded in the government record. Nashik is a tropical area with high humidity as temperature of the zone raises beyond during summer season. All the environmental conditions are favourable for breeding of mosquitoes. In the present paper all the species are caught by net trap method and identified. Diversity of mainly anopheles mosquitoes carried out to highlight their role as a vector. The keys used for identification of the anopheline species are Nagpal, Shrivastava , Barraud and, Christophers. The species identified are Anopheles theobaldi, A. culicifacies, A. pallidus, A. vagus, A. minimus, A. subpictus, A. sundaicus, A. philipinensis mainly in the Amravati district. All the diversified characters used in identification are wing venation, forelegs and hind legs, maxillary palpi, antennae, proboscis etc.
