Taxonomic reassignments were suggested for Neotropical anopheline malaria vectors, elevating four monophyletic groups Kerteszia, Lophopodomyia, Nyssorhynchus, and Stethomyia to the genus level, upending their conventional status as subgenera of the genus Anopheles. Two questions are proposed. Do the advantages of reclassification outweigh its disadvantages? Is the reclassification generally accepted and/or scientifically imperative?
建议对新热带按蚊疟疾媒介进行分类重排，将四个单系群（Kerteszia、Lophopodomyia、Nyssorhynchus 和 Stethomyia）提升到属的水平，颠覆了它们作为按蚊属亚属的传统地位。提出了两个问题。分类重排的优点是否超过其缺点？分类重排是否被普遍接受和/或具有科学必要性？
