Molecular phylogenetic analyses were conducted to infer relationships between the eastern and western NearcticAndroprosopaMik and amongst the considerably more diverse western Nearctic species. Fresh, molecular-grade material was obtained for all NearcticAndroprosopaspecies except two Mexican species,An. sonorensis(Arnaud & Boussy) andAn. zempoalaSinclair & Huerta, that eluded capture. Molecular sequences from two nuclear protein-coding genes, big zinc finger (BZF) and molybdenum cofactor sulfurase (MCS), were sampled from representatives of several outgroup and ingroup taxa and analyzed phylogenetically using maximum likelihood criteria to confirm identifications of females and immatures using a barcoding approach, test species boundaries among morphologically similar species, and infer relationships among more morphologically disparate groups. Resulting phylogenies suggest the following with significant node (bootstrap) support: (1) the eastern NearcticAndroprosopaspecies form the sister group to the lineage comprised of all sampled Palearctic thaumaleids, i.e.,An. larvata(Mik),An. striata(Okada), andThaumalea testaceaRuthe; (2) the aforementioned lineage is the sister group to the clade comprised of western NearcticAndroprosopaspecies; (3) the western NearcticAndroprosopaspecies form three multispecies lineages, two of which can be further divided into three or more well founded species groups. Our results suggest thatAndroprosopaas currently defined is paraphyletic. Additionally, we propose several new species groups within the western NearcticAndroprosopabased on molecular and morphological data.
