Chagasia is one of the three mosquito genera in the subfamily Anophelinae. The other two genera are Anopheles Meigen (nearly worldwide distribution) and Bironella Theobald (Australia only).
The genus is found in the Neotropics.
Bironella appears to be the sister taxon to the Anopheles, with Chagasia forming the outgroup in this subfamily.
The species Chagasia bathana has eight chromosomes.[1]
