Talk:Nyssorhynchus

Wrong generic placement
I cant find any mention of the combination extinct Plasmodium dominicana Poinar, 2005 being placed in this subgenus. The subgenus Nyssorhycus is a living group of mosquitos in the genus Anopheles and from what I am finding the species Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) dominicanus Zavortink & Poinar 2000 is a mosquito! It appears that the two species, both from Domonican amber, have been confused and this has resulted in this subgenus being incorrectly placed in Plasmodium, rather then Anopheles.-- Kev min  § 19:21, 27 February 2011 (UTC)


 * This article seems to be the only place on the internet where the this subgenus is a Plasmodium, apart from the corresponing Wikidata page. The only reference in the article refers is describing Plasmodium dominicana. The only reference to Nyssorhycus is in only of the references about the mosquito being found in amber. These mosquitos are a vector for Plasmodium but that doesn't make the Plasmodium a member of the genus, especially when birds are being discussed as the vector. This page should either be about the mosquito (under the existing title), renamed Plasmodium dominicana, or deleted.  Jts1882 &#124; talk 10:16, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
 * This article title/subject pairing was a mistake. See Plasmodium_dominicana, where I moved the remaining information. Nyssorhynchus now redirects to the proper parent genus, Anopheles.--Mellis (talk) 19:11, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
