Wyeomyia is a genus of mosquitoes first described in 1901 by Frederick Vincent Theobald. The genus's 140 species can be difficult to characterize because of their diversity and the need for additional taxonomic work to further delineate them. Adults resemble genus Limatus and Sabethes mosquitoes more closely than other genera in the New World tribe Sabethini, but differ by their scutal scales ranging in color from a relatively dull bronzy with a slight metallic sheen in most species, to a metallic gold.
Wyeomyia est un genre de moustiques de la famille des Culicidae, de la tribu des Sabethini, présent en zone néotropicale. Il comprend 139 espèces réparties entre 17 sous-genres. Ils sont difficiles à caractériser, une révision de ce genre semblant nécessaire.
