“…In contrast, node 15 leading to W. aporonoma and W. staminifera is supported by a 64% bootstrap value, a Bremer support value of 1, and two synapomorphies: seta 6-Mx branched (character 8); and apical tergal arm of the aedeagus fused mesally (character 60). A hypothesis about the monophyly and definition of a group formed by W. aporonoma and W. staminifera became evident to us during a study that included the description of W. staminifera (Lourenço-de-Oliveira et al 1992). Because the results of the present analysis corroborate the monophyly of the group formed by W. aporonoma and W. staminifera, and the split leading to it is moderately supported, we consider that the group may be defined as a subgenus within the genus Wyeomyia.…”

Phylogenetic relationships within the genus Wyeomyia Theobald are presented, based on a cladistic analysis of 88 morphological characters (from adults, larvae, and pupae) of 38 named species and 1 unnamed species and 46 allozyme markers from a subset of 19 of these species. Two taxa are used as outgroup (Sabethes aurescens Lutz and Limatus durhami Theobald). The analysis indicates that, as currently defined, the genus Wyeomyia is not a monophyletic lineage: firstly, the genus Onirion Peyton and Harbach is nested within the genus Wyeomyia, and secondly, the subgenus Phoniomyia Theobald is a monophyletic lineage outside the genus Wyeomyia. Our results also demonstrate that the subgenera Cruzmyia Lane and Cerqueira, Decamyia Dyar, Dendromyia Theobald, Spilonympha Motta and Lourenço-de-Oliveira, and Prosopolepis Lutz are monophyletic lineages nested within the genus Wyeomyia. Triamyia Dyar is resurrected as a subgenus of Wyeomyia to include W. aporonoma Dyar and Knab and W. staminifera Lourenço-de-Oliveira, Motta, and Castro. The subgenus Miamyia Dyar is resurrected to include seven species: W. codiocampa Dyar and Knab, W. lutzi (Costa Lima), W. limai Lane and Cerqueira, W. serrata (Lutz), W. hosautos Dyar and Knab, W. oblita (Lutz), and W. sabethea Lane and Cerqueira.
