Abstract

A new subgenus, Leonidasdeanea, of the genus Wyeomyia Theobald, 1901 is established based on morphological and molecular analyses. It comprises three sibling species: Wyeomyia chalcocephala Dyar & Knab, Wy. flui (Bonne-Wepster & Bonne) and Wy. luciae Senevet, Chabelard & Abonnenc, the last of which is resurrected from synonymy with Wy. chalcocephala. The larva, pupa and adult female and male, including the genitalia, of these three species are redescribed, along with a summary of the systematics, bionomics and distribution of the new subgenus. In addition, Wy.surinamensis Bruijning, 1959 is formally recognized as a junior synonym of Wy. flui.
