The subgenus Dendromyia Theobald: A review with redescriptions of four species (Diptera : Culicidae)

A morphological study, of larval, pupal and adult life stages (including ge nitalia characters) was performed in order to evaluate the classification o f the subgenus Dendromyia, genus Wyeomyia Theobald. Six species are include d: Wy. ypsipola Dyar; Wy. jocosa (Dyar & Knab), Wy. testei Senevet & Abonne nc, Wy. complosa (Dyar), Wy. luteoventralis Theobald and Wy. trifurcata Cla strier, the first four of which are redescribed: The descriptions include i llustrations of the male and female genitalia, fourth-instar. larva and pup a. The result firmly supports Dendromyia as a monophyletic gi oltp, with we ll defined characters. Keys for the identification of all life stages of sp ecies included in Dendromyia are provided.
