Talk:Taxonomy of Anopheles

Untitled
This article is a work in progress. It could use a better introduction section.

Re notability

There are ~2000 papers in the literature since 1960 on this topic. There are a number of books with illustrated keys to identify the species.

Species identification has been recognised to be critical in malaria and other disease control since the time of Ross and Grassi (the 1890s). DrMicro (talk) 18:21, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

I think all the subgenus Anopheles species are now listed here. What remains to be done is to complete the division into sections and others. Links to the subsections may be useful.

The species of subgenus Cellia have yet to be added. DrMicro (talk) 13:36, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Species notes
There are two species here that may have been misclassified: Anopheles beklemishevi and Anopheles occidentalis. There are a number of species under the subgenus Anopheles that have not been subclassified yet. Some of these may actually belong to the subgenus Cellia so revisions may be needed here.

Other than these, the remaining species should have been correctly classified. DrMicro (talk) 15:36, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Anopheles beklemishevi is an outlier in the listed group. It may be reclassified but at present it is correct.

Anopheles papuae may actually have been reclassified into the genus Bironella. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.120.116.186 (talk) 13:35, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Taxonomy of Anopheles
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Taxonomy of Anopheles's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 14:58, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Improving references
There is more information on many of the references at the Mosquito Taxonomic Inventory, but some of the authors have multiple references for the given years. More help is needed to improve the references. Paul2520 (talk) 15:07, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
