NOV. Type species: Stegomyia simpsoni Theobald, 1905 . Subgenus Mukwaya includes the species placed in the Simpsoni Group of Huang (2004) . The group was described on pages 14 and 17 and now forms the description of the subgenus. Huang (2004) included a list of the then known life stages that were described, illustrated and brief information on immature and female bionomics for species currently placed in subgenus Mukwaya . Partial illustrations for most known stages of included species, including the type species St. simpsoni , were also provided. Previously, Huang (1979 , 1986 ) published information (as simpsoni complex ) concerning species now included in the subgenus. Reinert (2000g) provided a description of the female genitalia of the Simpsoni Assemblage (=subgenus Mukwaya ) and illustrated the female genitalia of St. simpsoni . Considerable important information concerning the type species ecology, behaviour, physiology, morphology, etc. was provided in a series of papers by Pajot (1975 , 1976a , b , 1977 ). Edwards (1941) included descriptive information and some illustrations for St. kivuensis (Edwards) , St. simpsoni , St. subargentea (Edwards) and St. woodi (Edwards) . Hopkins (1952) described the fourth-instar larvae of St. simpsoni , St. strelitziae (Muspratt) and St. subargentea . See descriptions and/or illustrations in Mattingly (1971c) , Hinton (1981) and Linley & Service (1994) for the egg of St. woodi . The present study includes taxonomic information (see Appendix 1) concerning known life stages of St. bromeliae Theobald , St. simpsoni and St. woodi . The works of Mattingly (1952 , 1953 ) provide taxonomic information and distribution data for most species and that of Muspratt (1956) provides this information for species occurring in southern Africa. Included species Stegomyia bromeliae , St . gandaensis (Huang), St. josiahae (Huang) , St. kivuensis , St. lilii Theobald , St. sampi (Huang) , St. simpsoni , St. strelitziae , St. subargentea and St. woodi . Etymology Mukwaya is named in honour of Dr Louis Godfrey Mukwaya in recognition of his many contributions to medical entomology and our knowledge of St. simpsoni . The subgeneric name is a masculine patronymic formed from his surname. Recommended abbreviation for Mukwaya = Muk .
