Stethomyia
''Stethomyia'' is a subgenus of the mosquito genus ''Anopheles''. The type species is ''Anopheles nimbus''. There are five species in this subgenus. History This genus was created by Frederick Wallace Edwards in 1932. Phylogeny Of the seven extant subgenera of ''Anopheles'', ''Stethomyia'' appears to be the earliest diverging clade. This branching order is currently under examination and may be revised. Distribution This subgenus is found in the Caribbean and both Central and South America. Countries where species of this subgenus are found include: Bolivia, Brazil, Costa Rica, Colombia, French Guiana, Guyana, Panama, Peru, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago and Venezuela. The species in this subgenus are forest mosquitoes and to date have been poorly studied. Larvae and pupal forms have been found in shaded marshy and swampy areas along streams within forests. Adult females are known to feed on humans. Description Eggs: Larvae: * Widely separated seta 2-C * The long pleura ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Anopheles Kompi
''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. Evolution The ancestors of ''Drosophila'' and the mosquitoes diverged . The culicine and ''Anopheles'' clades of mosquitoes diverged between and . The Old and New World ''Anopheles'' species subsequently diverged between and . ''Anophele ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
