摘要
Relationships among the genus Anopheles and its many sibling species-groups are obscure despite the importance of anophelines as the vectors of human malaria. For the first time, the interrelationships and the origin of Australasian members of the subgenus Cellia are investigated by a cladistic analysis of sequence variation within the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit II gene. Estimated divergence times between many Australasian and Oriental taxa predate the mid Miocene collision of Australasia and Southeast Asia. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that two-way exchanges with Oriental mosquitoes rather than only immigration may have been a characteristic of anopheline paleobiogeography in Australasia. The Australasian fauna is mostly included in a large clade. The medically important Punctulatus Group is monophyletic and appears derived from Oriental stock. Populations within this group hom as far apart as Australia and Vanuatu were in contact in the recent past (i.e., 0.35-2.44 mya), supporting dispersal rather than vicariance explanations. Some support for the monophyly of the Myzomyia, Neomyzomyia, and Pyretophorus Series was found. However, the subgenera Anopheles and Cellia and the Neocellia Series are paraphyletic, but branch support at these taxonomic levels was poor. The COII gene shows promise for questions concerning alpha taxonomy but appears to be of Limited use for resolving deeper relationships within the Anopheles. (C) 1998 Academic Press.
