Subgenus Ingramia Edwards, 1912
Mimomyia fusca (Leicester, 1908), original combination: Dasymyia fusca.
Subfamily Culicinae, genus Mimomyia. Subgenus Ingramia includes 22 species. Subgenus abbreviation – Ing.
ADULTS ‒ Not as scaly as species of subgenus Etorleptiomyia; erect scales of head variable in extent, generally broad, restricted to occiput or extended forward onto vertex; eyes well separated above antennae; flagellomere 1 of females with broad scales, 1.0‒1.4 length of flagellomere 2, males with flagellomeres 12 and 13 very long; maxillary palpus of females shorter than one-third length of proboscis, palpus of males 0.4‒0.8 length of proboscis, with 4 palpomeres, short setae apically; proboscis of males strongly swollen in distal half; acrostichal setae present or absent; dorsocentral setae present; scutellum with broad scales; scale-patches present or absent postpronotum, mesokatepisternum and mesepimeron, postspiracular scales absent; lower area of mesepimeron sometimes with scattering of fine setae; wing mainly with broad scales, some more or less heart-shaped, scales entirely dark, entirely pale or both dark and pale, cell R2 normally 1.3‒2.1 times as long as vein R2+3, alula with broad scales on margin, upper calypter with fringe of broad scales; tarsi usually with pale bands (all dark in Mi. fusca except hindtarsomeres 4 and 5 and apex of 3 paler); abdominal terga with some pale markings. FEMALE GENITALIA ‒ 1 spermathecal capsule. MALE GENITALIA ‒ Aedeagus simple, slightly sclerotised. LARVAE ‒ Antenna articulated distal to setae 2,3-A; setae 5,6,7,11-C variable in length, often short; setae 5,6-M, 9‒12-M, 7-T, 9‒12-T and sometimes 9‒12-P borne on lateral digit-like protuberances; siphon variable, index 2.3‒10.0, pecten absent, seta 2-S of siphon single or bifid, spiracular apparatus as in species of subgenus Etorleptiomyia, not modified for piercing plant tissues; ventral brush (seta 4-X) with 2 pairs of setae. PUPAE ‒ Trumpet very long, index 25 to more than 50, not modified for piercing plant tissues; seta 1-I small, single or forked; setae 1,5-VII normally single or forked; seta 9-VIII large, usually with 14‒22 branches; paddle much longer than wide, index 10‒20. See genus Mimomyia.
The evolutionary relationships of Ingramia have not been investigated.
The immature stages of species of subgenus Ingramia develop in phytotelm habitats, including tree holes cut bamboo, leaf axils of Ravenala, Pandanus, Typhonodorum and Colocasia, and Nepenthes pitchers.
Species of subgenus Ingramia are not of medical importance.
The distributions of species of subgenus Ingramia are not well known. Four species are recorded from countries in the Oriental Region: Mi. deguzmanae from the Philippines; Mi. fusca from Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand; Mi. kiriromi from Cambodia; and Mi. mogii from Indonesia. The other 17 species of the subgenus are only known from Madagascar and neighbouring islands
