FIGURE 8. Phylogeny of Anophelinae based on morphology (modified from Sallum et al., 2000): strict consensus of 144 MPCs from equal-weighting analysis of 60 anopheline species and 163 anatomical characters. Bootstrap values>50% are shown. Asterisks (*) indicate Species Groups of the Anopheles Series and plus symbols (+) indicate Species Groups of the Myzorhynchus Series. The authors elected to retain Kerteszia, Nyssorhynchus and Cellia as valid subgenera and formally synonymize Lophopodomyia, Stethomyia and Bironella with subgenus Anopheles although the position of the Christya Series (arrow) clearly indicates that all six of these groups fall within the nominotypical subgenus.
