==== Internal ==== The two subfamilies of mosquitoes are [[Anophelinae]], containing three genera and approximately 430 species, and [[Culicinae]], which contains 11 tribes, 108 genera and 3,046 species. Kyanne Reidenbach and colleagues analysed mosquito [[phylogenetics]] in 2009, using both nuclear DNA and morphology of 26 species. They note that Anophelinae is confirmed to be rather basal, but that the deeper parts of the tree are not well resolved.<ref name="Reidenbach Cook Bertone Harbach 2009">{{cite journal |last1=Reidenbach |first1=Kyanne R. |last2=Cook |first2=Shelley |last3=Bertone |first3=Matthew A. |last4=Harbach |first4=Ralph E. |last5=Wiegmann |first5=Brian M. |last6=Besansky |first6=Nora J. |title=Phylogenetic analysis and temporal diversification of mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) based on nuclear genes and morphology |journal=[[BMC Evolutionary Biology]] |volume=9 |issue=1 |date=2009 |page=298|pmid=20028549 |pmc=2805638 |doi=10.1186/1471-2148-9-298 |bibcode=2009BMCEE...9..298R |doi-access=free }}</ref> {{clade|style=font-size:100%;line-height:110%; |label1='''Culicidae''' |1={{clade |1=basal spp. |2={{clade |label1=[[Anophelinae]] |1=[[File:Anopheles gambiae mosquito feeding 1354.p lores.jpg|125px]] |label2=[[Culicinae]] |2={{clade |1=other spp. |2={{clade |1=[[Aedini]] [[File:Aedes aegypti feeding (cropped).jpg|125px]] |2={{clade |1=other spp. |2=[[Sabethini]] [[File:Sabethes albiprivus (cropped).jpg|125px]] }} }} }} }} }} }}
