Classification

The classification of this genus began in 1901 with Theobald. Despite the passage of time the taxonomy remains incompletely settled. Classification into species is based on morphological characteristics - wing spots, head anatomy, larval and pupal anatomy, chromosome structure - and more recently on DNA sequences.

The genus Anopheles

 only: 11 described species) and Chagasia Cruz (Neotropics: 4 described species). The genus Bironella itself has been divided into three subgenera: Bironella Theobald (2 species), Brugella Edwards (3 species) and Neobironella Tenorio (3 species). Bironella appears to be the sister taxon to the Anopheles with Chagasia forming the outgroup in this subfamily.

The type species of the genus is Anopheles maculipennis Meigen 1818.

Subgenera

The genus itself has been subdivided into seven subgenera based primarily on the number and positions of specialized setae on the gonocoxites of the male

Male

 (Neotropical). Nyssorhynchus was first described as Lavernia by Theobald. Edwards in 1932 added the subgenus Stethomyia

Stethomyia

Stethomyia is a subgenus of the mosquito genus Anopheles. The type species is Anopheles nimbus Theobald 1902. There are five species in this subgenus.-Phylogeny:...

 (Neotropical distribution). Kerteszia was also described by Edwards in 1932 but then recognised as a subgrouping of Nyssorhynchus. It was elevated to subgenus status by Komp in 1937: this subgenus is also found in the Neotropics. Two additional subgenera have since been recognised: Baimaia (Southeast Asia only) by Harbach et al. in 2005 and Lophopodomyia (Neotropical) by Antunes in 1937.

One species within each subgenus has been identified as the type species of that particular subgenus:

• Subgenus Anopheles - Anopheles maculipennis Meigen 1818
• Subgenus Baimaia - Anopheles kyondawensis Abraham 1947
• Subgenus Cellia - Anopheles pharoensis Giles 1899
• Subgenus Kerteszia - Anopheles boliviensis Theobald 1905
• Subgenus Lophopodomyia - Anopheles squamifemur Antunes 1937
• Subgenus Nyssorhynchus - Anopheles argyritarsis Robineau-Desvoidy 1827
• Subgenus Stethomyia - Anopheles nimbus Theobald 1902

Within the genus Anopheles there are two main groupings: one formed by the Cellia and Anopheles subgenera and a second by Kerteszia, Lophopodomyia and Nyssorhynchus. Subgenus Stethomyia is an outlier with respect to these two taxa. Within the second group Kerteszia and Nyssorhynchus appear to be sister taxa. Cellia appears to be more closely related to the Kerteszia-Lophopodomyia-Nyssorhynchus group than to Anopheles or Stethomyia tentatively suggesting the following branching order: ( Stethomyia ( Anopheles ( Cellia ( Lophopodomyia ( Kerteszia, Nyssorhynchus))))).

The number of species currently recognised within the subgenera is given here in parentheses: Anopheles (206 species), Baimaia (1), Cellia (239), Kerteszia (12), Lophopodomyia (6), Nyssorhynchus (34) and Stethomyia (5).

The subgeus Baimaia may be elevated to genus level as it appears to be a sister group to Bironella and all other Anopheles.

Divisions below subgenus

Taxonomic units between subgenus and species are not currently recognised as official zoological names. In practice a number of taxonomic levels have been introduced. The larger subgenera (Anopheles, Cellia and Nyssorhynchus) have been subdivided into sections and series which in turn have been divided into groups and subgroups. Below subgroup but above species level is the species complex. Taxonomic levels above species complex can be distinguished on morphological grounds. Species within a species complex are either morphologically identical or extremely similar and can only be reliably separated by microscopic examination of the chromosomes or DNA sequencing. The classification continues to be revised.

The first species complex was described in 1926 when the problem of non trasnmission of whom the malaria by Anopheles gambiae

Anopheles gambiae

Anopheles gambiae is a complex of at least seven morphologically distinguishable species of mosquitoes in the genus Anopheles. This complex was recognised in the 1960s and includes the most important vectors of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa and the most efficient malaria vectors known.This species...

 was solved by Falleroni who recognised that An. gambiae was a complex of 6 species of which only 4 could transmit malaria. This complex has subsequently been revised to a total of seven species of which five transmit malaria.

Subgenus Nyssorhynchus has been divided in three sections: Albimanus (19 species), Argyritarsis (11 species) and Myzorhynchella (4 species). The Argyritarsis section has been sub divided into Albitarsis and Argyritarsis groups.

The Anopheles Group was divided by Edwards into four series: Anopheles (worldwide), Myzorhynchus (Palearctic, Oriental, Australasian and Afrotropical), Cycloleppteron (Neotropical) and Lophoscelomyia (Oriental); and two groups, Arribalzagia (Neotropical) and Christya (Afrotropical). Reid and Knight (1961) modified this classification by subdividing the subgenus Anopheles into two sections, Angusticorn and Laticorn and six series. The division was based on the shape of the pupa

. The Laticorn Section was created for those species with a wide funnel-shaped trumpet having the longest axis transverse to the stem and the Angusticorn Section for species with a semi-tubular trumpet having the longest axis vertical more or less in line with the stem. The earlier Arribalzagia and Christya Groups were considered to be series. The Angusticorn Section includes members of the Anopheles, Cycloleppteron and Lophoscelomyia Series and the Laticorn Section includes the Arribalzagia (24 species), Christya and Myzorhynchus Series.

Cellia is the largest subgenus: all species within this subgenus are found in the Old World. It has been divided into six series - Cellia (8 species), Myzomyia (69 species), Neocellia (33 species), Neomyzomyia (99 species), Paramyzomyia (6 species) and Pyretophorus (22 species). This classification was developed by Grjebine (in 1966), Reid (in 1968) and Gillies & de Meillon (also in 1968) based on the work by Edwards in 1932. Series definition within this subgenus is based on the cibarial armature - a collection of specialized spicules borne ventrally at the posterior margin of the cibarium - which was first used as a taxonomic method by Christophers in 1933.
