Anophelinae
There are 112 genera of mosquitoes, containing approximately 3,500 species.Elbers ARW, Koenraadt CJM, and Meiswinkel R (2015) Mosquitoes and Culicoides biting midges: vector range and the influence of climate change. Rev Sci Tech 34: 123–137 Human malaria is transmitted only by females of the genus ''Anopheles''. Of the approximately 430 ''Anopheles'' species, while over 100 are known to be able to transmit malaria to humans, only 30–40 commonly do so in nature. Mosquitoes in other genera can transmit different diseases, such as yellow fever and dengue for species in the genus ''Aedes''. The genus ''Aedes'' has over 950 species. Since breeding and biting habit differ considerably between species, species identification is important for control programmes.

Chagasia
''Chagasia'' is one of the three mosquito genera in the subfamily Anophelinae. The other two genera are ''Anopheles'' Meigen (nearly worldwide distribution) and '' Bironella'' Theobald (Australia only). The subfamily consists of five species in the Neotropical region. These include ''C. ablusa'' Harbach, ''C. bathana'' Dyar, ''C. bonneae'' Root, ''C. fajardi'' Lutz and ''C. rozeboomi'' Causey, Deane & Deane. '' Bironella'' appears to be the sister taxon to ''Anopheles'', with ''Chagasia'' forming the outgroup in this subfamily. The species ''Chagasia bathana'' has 8 chromosomes and males are heterogametic with one long X chromosome and one short Y chromosome. Harbach, R. E., & Howard, T. M. (2009).

Cellia (subgenus)
''Anopheles'' is a genus of mosquitoes (Culicidae). Of about 484 recognised species, over 100 can transmit human malaria, but only 30–40 commonly transmit parasites of the genus ''Plasmodium'' that cause malaria, which affects humans in endemic (ecology), endemic areas. ''Anopheles gambiae'' is one of the best known, because of its predominant role in the transmission of the deadly species ''Plasmodium falciparum''. Classification The classification of this genus began in 1901 with Frederick Vincent 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, and chromosome structure, and more recently on DNA sequences. The genus ''Anopheles'' belongs to a subfamily Anophelinae with three genera: ''Anopheles'' Meigen (nearly worldwide distribution), ''Bironella'' Theobald (Australia only: 11 described species) and ''Chagasia'' Cruz ( ...

''Bironella'' is one of the three mosquito genera in the subfamily Anophelinae. The other two genera are ''Anopheles'' Meigen (nearly worldwide distribution) and ''Chagasia'' Cruz (Neotropics).

Anopheles (subgenus)
''Anopheles'' () is a genus of mosquito first described and named by J. W. Meigen in 1818. About 460 species are recognised; while over 100 can transmit human malaria, only 30–40 commonly transmit parasites of the genus ''Plasmodium'', which cause malaria in humans in endemic areas. ''Anopheles gambiae'' is one of the best known, because of its predominant role in the transmission of the most dangerous malaria parasite species (to humans) – ''Plasmodium falciparum''. The name comes from the Ancient Greek word 'useless', derived from , 'not', 'un-' and 'profit'. Mosquitoes in other genera (''Aedes'', ''Culex'', ''Culiseta'', ''Haemagogus'', and ''Ochlerotatus'') can also serve as Vector (epidemiology), vectors of disease agents, but not human malaria.
