Anopheles azaniae is a mosquito species within the genus Anopheles [2]. Observations of preserved specimens from the TreeOfLife-200M dataset reveal characteristic features of the genus, including a slender body form typical of culicids [1]. The specimens exhibit long, thin legs and elongated wings, which are diagnostic traits for mosquitoes [1].
Anopheles azaniae is classified within the subgenus Cellia [3]. The genus Anopheles is a cosmopolitan group of mosquitoes that includes 465 formally named species [2]. Subgeneric classification in Anopheles is primarily based on the number and position of specialized setae on the male gonocoxites [2].
