Spore Ultrastructure

Fresh specimens of Colostoma junghuhnii (Schl. & Müll.) Massee, collected in Nepal, are described. The ultrastructure of the basidiospore wall is compared with that in the three North American species of Colostoma. The spore wall of C. junghuhnii is ornamented with pyramidal warts; that of C. cinnabarina Desvaux, the type species of the genus, is pitted. The ultrastructure of the spore wall in the two species is similar. The distinctive stoma and other features distinguish C. junghuhnii from the other species of Colostoma but do not warrant recognition as a second genus in the Calostomataceae.

AbstractThe Nearctic species of the subgenus Anomophagus Reitter of the genus Rhizophagus Herbst are revised. Four taxa are recognized: R. brunneus brunneus Horn 1879, R. brunneus fenyesi Méquignon 1913a, R. pseudobrunneus sp.nov., and R. galbus sp.nov.For the other Nearctic species of the genus, a diagnosis, a type material section, and distributional notes are provided. Two new taxa are described, R. minutus rotundicollis and R. pusillus. Seven specific names are treated as new junior synonyms, namely (with the valid name in parentheses): R. longiceps Casey 1916 and R. rectus Casey 1916 (= R. cylindricus LeConte 1866); R. minutus quadriguttatus Méquignon 1913b (= R. minutus minutus Mmnerheim 1853); R. remotus luteus Méquignon 1913b (= R. remotus LeConte 1866); R. sculpturatus horni Méquignon 1913b (= R. sculpturatus Mannerheim 1852); R. dimidiatus testaceus Méquignon 1913b and R. dimidiatus assimilis Méquignon 1913b (= R. dimidiatus Mannerheim 1843). The subgenera name Syringobidia Casey 1916 (type species: R. cylindricus LeConte 1866) is treated as a new junior subjective synonym of Rhizophagus s.str. A key to all Nearctic species of Rhizophagus is provided with distribution maps of the species.

Phylogenetic Implications

HPLC analysis of the true huckleberry species Gaylussacia baccata, G. dumosa, G. frondosa, G. mosieri, and G. ursina identified the 3-monoarabinosides, 3-monogalactosides, and 3-monoglucosides of cyanidin, delphinidin, malvidin, peonidin, and petunidin. Gaylussacia brachycera contained all anthocyanins, except peonidin-3-arabinoside. Gaylussacia brachycera differed from other species in percent delphinidin-3-arabinoside. It was higher than the other species in percent of the aglycone delphinidin and lower in cyanidin, and also higher in percent of the sugar arabinose. There were no detectable differences among the other species for anthocyanins, aglycones, or aglycone-sugars. The phylogenetic implications of the similarities among species of Gaylussacia and Vaccinium in anthocyanins, aglycones, and aglycone-sugars of the fruit were discussed.Key words: High-performance liquid chromatography, huckleberries, blueberries, chemotaxonomy, taxonomy, biosystematics

Three new North American species of Paradonus Stibick are described: Paradonus gallatinensis new species, Paradonus gustafsoni new species and Paradonus stibicki new species is described for specimens formerly called Paradonus pectoralis sensu Stibick, 1991. The type species of the genus, Paradonus pectoralis Say, 1839 is redefined, and the Holotype of Paradonus olivereae Stibick, 1991 is designated as the Neotype of P. pectoralis, a common, widespread species. The genus is redescribed, a checklist of species is included, and notes on the described species north of Mexico are given. Hypnoidus guatemalensis Champion, 1895 is removed from the genus and placed in Zorochros Thompson, 1858 as Zorochros guatemalensis (Champion, 1895) new combination. A key to all described species north of Mexico is provided, along with illustrations of characters used in identifying species.

Stratigraphic Range

Galecyon is one of the first appearing hyaenodontid creodonts, as well as one of the most poorly known. New specimens greatly improve our understanding of the morphology of this early Eocene genus, thereby enhance knowledge of the earliest radiation of Hyaenodontidae, and include the first associated upper dental remains, as well as fragmentary cranial remains. The new records substantially expand the stratigraphic range of the genus and allow recognition of two new species. The first, Galecyon peregrinus n. sp., is a small, early species that includes the first records of Galecyon from the earliest Eocene Wa-0 interval. The second, Galecyon chronius n. sp., is a large, terminal species, represented by numerous specimens that extend the range of the genus into the late Wasatchian. The type species, G. mordax, is restricted to specimens that are intermediate in size and stratigraphic position. Phylogenetic analysis of early hyaenodontids confirms the monophyly of Galecyon and places it basal to Prolimnocyon, Prototomus, and Pyrocyon. Arfia is identified as the earliest diverging hyaenodontid sampled, contrasting with prior support for a more crownward position. Prototomus martis is more closely allied to Pyrocyon than to other species of Prototomus. The three North American species of Galecyon form a probable anagenetic lineage.

The purpose of this paper is to present what is known at the present time concerning the life histories and habits of the Mesoveliidae, particularly those of three species of the genus Mesovelia Muls. found in North America. Studies on our most common species, Mesovelia mulsanti bisignata Uhler, were carried out in Michigan and Kansas, while biological notes on the other two species were taken in the region of Douglas Lake, Michigan, their only known habitat. Isolated rearings and life history studies of all three species were made at Lawrence, Kansas.

Restricted Sense

About the time that Lord Walsingham's valuable paper on Acrolophus and Anaphora appeared (Trans. Ent, Soc., Lond., 1887, 137–173), Mr. Beutenmüller was working on the same group; but neither author has since attempted to recognize the species named by the other, so far as I am aware. In Prof. Smith's List Lep. Bor. Amer., 1891, the group is recognized as a family—Anaphoridæ—but this can hardly stand. The genera will fall in the Tineidæ, in the more restricted sense (see Walsingham, Proc. Zool. Soc., London, 1897, 139–175).

AbstractThe subgenus Steropus Dejean of the genus Pterostichus Bonelli (Coleoptera: Carabidae) is redefined. The subgenus includes 24 species occurring in the Palaearctic and Nearctic regions. Eight species previously included in Steropus, P. catalonicus K. Daniel, P. ferreri (Español andMateu), P. galaecianus Lauffer, P. ghilianii (Putzeys), P. globosus (Fabricius), P. insidiatrix (Piochard de la Brûlerie), P. madidus (Fabricius), and P. riffensis (Antoine), are transferred to the subgenus Corax Putzeys (formerly considered as a junior synonym of Steropus) which is recognized as a valid taxon. Refonia Casey, with two North American species, Eosteropus Tschitschérine (type-species: Platysma creperum Tschitschérine, present designation), with four Asiatic species, and Steropinus Lutshnik, with one Asiatic species, are placed in synonymy with Steropus. Adult and larval character states of the subgenus Steropus are described. Larvae of Steropus are synapomorphic with those of P. (Corax) madidus and P. (Feronidius) melas Creutzer in having the mandible strongly curved with wide retinaculum in the first instar and a membranous area on antennomere I.

Forty selections, including 37 cultivars of Hamamelis spp., were evaluated for genetic similarities using randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. Cluster analysis identified seven groups, which included three groups of H. ×intermedia cultivars, two groups of H. vernalis, and one group each of H. mollis and H. japonica. Three H. ×intermedia cultivars, `Arnold Promise', `Westerstede', and `Carmine Red', did not group closely with the other 20 cultivars of H. ×intermedia. Selections of the North American species H. vernalis were quite distinct from the Asiatic selections. However, data are presented that suggest hybridization exist between Asiatic Hamamelis spp. and H. vernalis. Genetic similarities between known half-sib families provides evidence that the cultivar pairs `Arnold Promise'—`Winter Beauty' and `Carmine Red'—`Hiltingbury' are, themselves, not likely half-sibs.
