STEGOMYIA THEOBALD SUBGENUS BOHARTIUS REINERT, HARBACH & KITCHING , SUBGEN. NOV.
Type species: Aedes (Stegomyia) pandani Stone, 1939 .
Subgenus Bohartius includes the species placed in the Pandani Subgroup of Bohart (1957). The subgroup was described on pages 33–34 and this taxonomic information now forms the description of the subgenus. Additional character information in support of the subgenus is included in the data matrix (Appendix 1) of the present study. Bohart (1957) provided a description of the type species of the subgenus including the male, male genitalia, female, pupa and fourth-instar larva, illustrations of the male genitalia, female, pupa and fourth-instar larva, and information on distribution and bionomics. Reinert (2000g) illustrated the female genitalia of St. pandani and provided a description of the female genitalia for the subgenus (as Pandani Assemblage). Bohart (1957) also included descriptions and illustrations of the other species included in the subgenus. Stone (1945) provided descriptive information for St. pandani and St. saipanensis (Stone) .
Included species
Stegomyia agrihanensis (Bohart) , St. neopandani (Bohart) , St. pandani , St. rotana (Bohart & Ingram) and St. saipanensis .
Etymology
Bohartius is named in honour of Dr Richard M. Bohart in recognition of his important contributions to the taxonomy of mosquitoes, especially in the southwestern Pacific area and the western United States. The subgeneric name is masculine, formed from his surname and the masculine Latin suffix ‘- ius ’. Recommended subgeneric abbreviation = Boh.
