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 ''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 ...

only: 11 described species) and '' Chagasia'' Cruz ( Neotropics: four described species). The genus ''Bironella'' has been divided into three subgenera: ''

'' 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. The type species of the genus is '' Anopheles maculipennis''.

Subgenera

The genus has been subdivided into seven subgenera based primarily on the number and positions of specialized setae on the gonocoxites of the male genitalia. The system of subgenera originated with the work of Christophers, who in 1915 described three subgenera: '' Anopheles'' (widely distributed), ''Myzomyia'' (later renamed '' Cellia'') (

'' was also described by Edwards in 1932, but then was 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 1918 *Subgenus ''Baimaia'' - '' Anopheles kyondawensis'' Abraham 1947 *Subgenus ''Cellia'' - '' Anopheles pharoensis'' Giles 1899 *Subgenus ''

'' Theobald 1902 Within the genus ''Anopheles'' are two main groupings, one formed by the ''Cellia'' and ''Anopheles'' subgenera and a second by ''

'', ''Lophopodomyia'', and ''Nyssorhynchus''. Subgenus ''Stethomyia'' is an outlier with respect to these two taxa. Within the second group, ''

'' and ''Nyssorhynchus'' appear to be sister taxa. ''Cellia'' appears to be more closely related to the ''

''-''Lophopodomyia''-''Nyssorhynchus'' group than to ''Anopheles'' or ''Stethomyia'', tentatively suggesting the following branching order: ( ''Stethomyia'' ( ''Anopheles'' ( ''Cellia'' ( ''Lophopodomyia'' ( ''

'', ''Nyssorhynchus''))))). The number of species currently recognised within the subgenera is given here in parentheses: ''Anopheles'' (206 species), ''Baimaia'' (one), ''Cellia'' (239), ''

'' (12), ''Lophopodomyia'' (six), ''Nyssorhynchus'' (34) and ''Stethomyia'' (five). The subgenus ''Baimaia'' may be elevated to genus level, as it appears to be a sister group to ''Bironella'' and all other ''Anopheles''. The ancestors of '' Drosophila'' and ''Anopheles'' diverged . The Old and New World ''Anopheles'' species subsequently diverged between 80 and .

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 nontransmission of malaria by ''

'' was solved by Falleroni, who recognised that ''An. gambiae'' was a complex of six species, of which only four 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'' (four species). The ''Argyritarsis'' section has been subdivided 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 their pupal trumpets. The ''Laticorn'' section was created for those species with wide, funnel-shaped trumpets having the longest axis transverse to the stem, and the ''Angusticorn'' section for species with semitubular trumpets 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'' (eight species), ''Myzomyia'' (69 species), ''Neocellia'' (33 species), ''Neomyzomyia'' (99 species), ''Paramyzomyia'' (six 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.

, who showed that a '' Culex'' species could transmit filariasis in 1878. This was then followed in 1897 by Ronald Ross, who showed avian malaria could also be transmitted by a species of ''Culex''. Grassi in Italy showed that the species causing human malaria were transmitted by species of the genus ''Anopheles'' in 1898. ''Anopheles gambiae'' (then ''Anopheles coastalis''), the most important of the vectors transmitting human malaria, was first recognised as such in 1899 at Freetown, Sierra Leone. It was later realised that only a small number of species of mosquitoes were responsible for the vast majority of human malaria and other diseases. This generated a considerable interest in the taxonomy of this and other mosquito genera. The species of the subgenera ''Baimaia'', ''Lophopodomyia'', and ''Stethomyia'' are not of medical importance. All species within the subgenus ''Anopheles'' known to carry human malaria lie within either the ''Myzorhynchus'' or the ''Anopheles'' series. ''Anopheles maculipennis'' s.l. is a known vector of West Nile virus. Six species in the subgenus ''

'' can carry human malaria. Of these, only ''An. bellator'' and ''An. cruzii'' are of importance. ''Anopheles bellator'' can also transmit '' Wuchereria bancrofti''. Several species of the subgenus ''Nyssorhynchus'' are of medical importance. All series of the subgenus ''Cellia'' contain vectors of malarial protozoa and microfilariae. Five species of anopheline mosquitoes (''An. arabiensis'', ''An. funestus'', ''An. gambiae'', ''An. moucheti'', ''An. nili'') all belonging to the subgenus ''Cellia'' are responsible for over 95% of total malaria transmission for ''

'' in continental sub-Saharan Africa. ''Anopheles sundaicus'' and ''An. subpictus'' are important vectors of '' Plasmodium vivax''.

Species evolution

The ''Anopheles gambiae'' complex has a number of important malaria vectors. A chromosomal study suggests that ''An. merus'' is the basal member of this complex and is sister species to ''An. gambiae''. The two species ''An. quadriannulatus'' A and ''An. quadriannulatus'' B - neither of whom are vectors for malaria - are derived from ''An. gambiae''. The subgenera ''Anopheles'' and ''Cellia'' appear to be sister clades as do ''

'' and ''Nyssorhynchus''.
