由于缺乏全面的区域形态学关键和分类学专家，特别是对具有医学或生态重要性的蚊子，准确的高地蚊子物种分类鉴定可能会很复杂。我们采用多位点方法对收集到的属/种的多样性进行了研究，定义了分子操作分类单元（MOTUs），并进行了系统发育聚类。从78条cox1 + ITS2序列中发现了20条motu和3条单序列，并对其中5条进行了种名分配。本研究提供了哥伦比亚安蒂奥基亚安第斯高山生态系统中杀虫动物群的分子分类信息。然而，未来的形态学和综合分类研究应该进行，以实现所有检测到的motu的具体身份。
Accurate taxonomic identification of highland mosquito species may be complicated because of the lack of comprehensive regional morphological keys and taxonomic specialists, particularly for mosquitoes of medical or ecological importance. We applied a multi-locus approach to explore the diversity of genera/species collected, to define the Molecular Operational Taxonomic Units (MOTUs) and to perform phylogenetic clustering. Twenty MOTUs and three single sequences were revealed from 78 concatenated cox1 + ITS2 sequences, and the species name was allocated for five of these. This study provides molecular taxonomic information of culicid fauna present in high Andean mountain ecosystems in Antioquia, Colombia. However, future morphological and integrative taxonomic studies should be conducted to achieve the specific identity of all detected MOTUs.
