A Gram-positive, aerobic, non-motile strain, H2.16B^T, isolated from the midgut of the mosquito Anopheles arabiensis was investigated using a polyphasic approach. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity studies, strain H2.16B^T was shown to belong to the genus Janibacter, being most closely related to Janibacter melonis (98·3 %), Janibacter terrae (98·5 %) and Janibacter limosus (98·5 %). Chemotaxonomic data (meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid in the cell wall and major fatty acids of iso-C_{16 : 0}, C_{17 : 1}8c and C_{17 : 0}) supported the allocation of the strain to the genus Janibacter. The results of DNA–DNA hybridization and physiological and biochemical tests allowed the genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain H2.16B^T from closely related species. Thus, H2.16B^T represents a novel species of the genus Janibacter, for which the name Janibacter anophelis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is H2.16B^T (=CCUG 49715^T=CIP 108728^T).

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of Janibacter anophelis sp. nov. H2.16B^T is AY837752.
