Abstract

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.

Résumé

Nous présentons les relations phylogénétiques au sein du genre Wyeomyia Theobald d'après une analyse cladistique de 88 caractères morphologiques (des adultes, des larves et des nymphes) chez 38 espèces nominales et une espèce inédite, ainsi que de 46 marqueurs allozymes chez un sous-ensemble de 19 de ces espèces. Deux taxons (Sabethes aurescens Lutz et Limatus durhami Theobald) servent de groupes externes. L'analyse indique que, dans sa définition courante, le genre Wyeomyia ne forme pas une lignée monophylétique: (a) le genre Onirion Peyton et Harbach s'emboîte dans le genre Wyeomyia et (b) le sous-genre Phoniomyia Theobald est une lignée monophylétique qui se situe hors du genre Wyeomyia. Nos résultats démontrent aussi que les sous-genres Cruzmyia Lane et Cerqueira, Decamyia Dyar, Dendromyia Theobald, Spilonympha Motta et Lourenço-de-Oliveira et Prosopolepis Lutz sont des lignées monophylétiques au sein du genre Wyeomyia. Nous tirons de la synonymie le nom de Triamyia Dyar pour servir de sous-genre de Wyeomyia et regrouper W. aporonoma Dyar et Knab et W. staminifera Lourenço-de-Oliveira, Motta et Castro, ainsi que le nom du sous-genre Miamyia Dyar pour inclure 7 espèces: W. codiocampa Dyar et Knab, W. lutzi (Costa Lima), W. limai Lane et Cerqueira, W. serrata (Lutz), W. hosautos Dyar et Knab, W. oblita (Lutz) et W. sabethea Lane et Cerqueira.
