We investigated the evolutionary origins of the mosquito family Culicidae by examination of 18S and 5.8S ribosomal gene sequence divergence. Phylogenetic analyses demonstrated that within the infraorder Culicomorpha, taxa in the families Corethrellidae, Chaoboridae and Culicidae formed a monophyletic group; there was support for a sister relationship between this lineage and a representative of the Chironomidae. A chaoborid midge was the closest relative of the mosquitoes. Taxa from four genera of mosquitoes formed a monophyletic group; lack of a spacer in the 5.8S gene was unique to members of the Culicidae. A member of the genus Anopheles formed the most basal lineage among the mosquitoes analysed. Phylogenetic relationships were unresolved for representatives in the families Dixidae, Simuliidae and Ceratopogonidae.
我们通过检查18S和5.8S核糖体基因序列差异，研究了蚊科的进化起源。系统发育分析表明，在亚目蠓蚊亚目内，大蚊科、摇蚊科和蚊科的分类单元形成了一个单系群；有证据支持该谱系与摇蚊科的一个代表之间存在姐妹关系。一种摇蚊是蚊子最亲近的亲属。来自四个蚊属的分类单元形成了一个单系群；5.8S基因中缺乏间隔区是蚊科成员所特有的。按蚊属的一个成员在分析的蚊子中形成了最基部的谱系。对于蠓科、蚋科和蠓科的代表，系统发育关系尚未解决。
