Description: A phylogenetic analysis was carried out for 12 species of Anopheles (Kerteszia) Theobald with Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) oswaldoi (Peryassú), An. (Stethomyia) Kompi Edwards and An.(Lophopodomyia) squamifemur Antunes as outgroup species. Sixty-six characters were coded from the external morphology of the adult male, adult female, fourth-instar larva and pupa, and analyzed under the parsimony criterion using PAUP. The results confirm that Kerteszia, and the clade Kerteszia + Nyssorhynchus, are both moophyletic. Bootstrap support was > or = 50 percent for all internal nodes, except for the (An. bellator + An. homunculus) clade which was < 50 percent. The results of this study allow a confident estimate of the relationships of species within Kerteszia
