Classification within the SubgenusAnopheles(Diptera, Culicidae)

Redescription of larva, pupa and adult of Anopheles (Anopheles) annulipalpis (Diptera: Culicidae) and the removal of the specie of the Cycloleppteron Series

“…The presence of a funnel-shaped pupal trumpet occurs on the members of the laticorn section, whereas those of the angusticorn possess a tubular pupal trumpet. Except for minor changes, the internal classification of the subgenus Anopheles s. stricto remains as it was proposed by Reid & Knight (1961).…”

“…Edwards (1932) proposed the first infrasubgeneric classification of Anopheles (Anopheles) and divided the subgenus into groups and series. Reid & Knight (1961) adopted Edwards' (1932 classification and divided the subgenus into two sections, Angusticorn and Laticorn, and six series. The Laticorn Section includes the Arribalzagia, Christya, and Myzorhynchus Series, and the Angusticorn Section includes members of the Anopheles, Cycloleppteron, and Lophoscelomyia Series.…”

Sequence Analysis of the rDNA Internal Transcribed Spacer 2 and Polymerase Chain Reaction Identification of <I>Anopheles fluminensis</I> (Diptera: Culicidae: <I>Anopheles</I>) in Bolivia

“…Anopheles fluminensis was described by Root (1927) from the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and is a member of the Arribalzagia Series of the Laticorn Section in the subgenus Anopheles (Reid and Knight 1961). The Arribalzagia Series contains 24 species (Wilkerson and Peyton 1990).…”

Egg Structures of Anopheles fluminensis and Anopheles shannoni

“…fluminensis and An. shannoni belong to the Arribalzagia Series of the Laticorn Section (Reid & Knight 1961) of the subgenus Anopheles. Wilkerson and Peyton (1990) inferred a monophyletic origin of the Arribalzagia Series based upon wingspot characters.…”
