Bironella Gracilis
''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). ''Bironella'' is found in Australia but one species '' B. obscura'' is found in New Guinea.Bironella (Brugella) obscura, a new species of mosquito from New Guinea (Diptera: Culicidae). Tenorio JA, J Med Entomol. 1975 Jan 10;11(6):734-8., The genus comprises 11 described species. It has been divided into three subgenera: Bironella Theobald (two species), Brugella Edwards (three species) and Neobironella Tenorio (three species). ''Bironella'' appears to be the sister taxon to the '' Anopheles'', with '' Chagasia'' forming the outgroup in this subfamily.

Anopheles Soesiloi
''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 vectors of disease agents, but not human malaria.

Taxonomy Of Anopheles
''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 ( ...

List Of Mosquito Genera
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.

Neotropics
The Neotropical realm is one of the eight biogeographic realms constituting Earth's land surface. Physically, it includes the tropics, tropical Ecoregion#Terrestrial, terrestrial ecoregions of the Americas and the entire South American temperate climate, temperate zone. Definition In biogeography, the Neotropic or Neotropical realm is one of the eight terrestrial realms. This realm includes South America, Central America, the Caribbean islands, and southern North America. In Mexico, the Yucatán Peninsula and southern lowlands, and most of the east and west coastlines, including the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula are Neotropical. In the United States southern Florida and coastal Central Florida are considered Neotropical. The realm also includes temperate southern South America. In contrast, the Neotropical Phytochorion, Floristic Kingdom excludes southernmost South America, which instead is placed in the Antarctic Floristic Kingdom, Antarctic kingdom. The ...

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).
