- Anopheline mosquitoes tend to have dappled or spotted wings, while Culicine wings tend to be clear.

- The " Anopheles " genome, at 230 284 million base pairs ( Mbp ), is comparable in size to that of " Drosophila ", but considerably smaller than those found in other culicine genomes ( 528 Mbp 1.9 Gbp ).
