Bironella

Bironella is one of the three mosquito genera in the subfamily Anophelinae. The other two genera are Anopheles Meigen, which has a nearly worldwide distribution, and Chagasia Cruz, which is found in the Neotropics.

Distribution
Bironella is predominantly found in Australia, with one species, Bironella obscura, also found in New Guinea.

Species
The genus Bironella comprises eight described species, which are divided into three subgenera: Bironella Theobald (Two species),Brugella Edwards (Three species), Neobironella Tenorio (Three species).

Phylogenetic relationships
Within the subfamily Anophelinae, Bironella appears to be the sister taxon to the genus Anopheles. In contrast, Chagasia forms the outgroup, highlighting its distinct evolutionary lineage within this subfamily.
