Acidolites Lang, Smith and Thomas occurs in upper Middle and Upper Ordovician, Lower and lower Middle Silurian rocks of Ontario and Quebec. On Anticosti Island, Quebec, the genus is represented by A. tenuis (Billings) in the Upper Ordovician (Gamachian) Ellis Bay Formation; the new species A. arctatus, A. compactus and A. helianthus in the Ordovician–Silurian boundary beds at the top of the Ellis Bay Formation; the new species A. arctatus, A. compactus and A. lindströmi in the lower Llandoverian Becscie Formation; A. arctatus in the mid-Llandoverian Gun River Formation; and an unnamed species in the upper Llandoverian Jupiter Formation. The lower Llandoverian Clemville Formation of the Gaspé Peninsula, Quebec, contains Protaraea clemvillensis Parks, now considered to be Acidolites. The upper Middle to lower Upper Ordovician Cobourg Formation near Ottawa, Ontario, contains A. cf. arctatus, formerly included in Protaraea vetusta (Hall). The lower Wenlockian Amabel Formation in southern Ontario contains a species of Acidolites as yet unnamed.

Three species of rough fescues occur in Canada and the adjacent part of the U.S.A.: Festuca altaica, F. campestris (F. scabrella var. major), and F. halli. Festuca altaica, a wide-ranging species of eastern Asia and northern North America, extends southward in the Canadian Cordillera to about latitude 52° N and is disjunct in eastern Canada (northern Québec, Gaspé Peninsula, western Newfoundland, etc.). Festuca scabrella Torr. in Hook, is a synonym of the earlier published F. altaica Trin. in Ledeb. Rough fescues of southern British Columbia, the southern prairie provinces of Canada, and northwestern U.S.A. that have been called F. scabrella belong to F. campestris and F. hallii, a neglected species. A key to the three taxa and a map of their distribution is presented.

The adult male of Utaperla gaspesiana, a new species of stonefly from the Gaspé Peninsula (Quebec), is described and illustrated. This is the first record of a member of the Paraperlinae (Chloroperlidae) from Eastern Canada. The relations of this new species with the other two known species of the genus, the western nearctic U. sopladora and the eastern palaearctic U. orientalis are briefly discussed.

Genetic Characters

We describe a new species of chorus frog of the North American treefrog genus Pseudacris from the south-central United States. This new species is morphologically similar to the parapatric species P. feriarum and has thus previously been considered synonymous with this species. The new species is geographically distinct from P. feriarum and from its sister species, P. nigrita. We diagnose the new species based on advertisement call, morphological, and genetic characters.

Fin Spines

The higher taxonomic affinities of fin spines from the Lower Devonian (Emsian) Atholville beds, Campbellton Formation, near Campbellton, New Brunswick, Canada, originally identified as Ctenacanthus latispinosus, have been uncertain since they were first described by Whiteaves in the late 19th century. Woodward subsequently referred the species to Climatius, because the isolated Canadian fin spines were similar to those preserved in articulated specimens of Climatius reticulatus from the Lower Old Red Sandstone (Lochkovian) of Scotland. Spines of the same form as the Atholville beds specimens are also found in Emsian mudstones on the Gaspé Peninsula, Québec. One of the fin spine forms appears identical to the pectoral fin spines on an articulated specimen from the Campbellton Formation that has been assigned to the stem chondrichthyan Doliodus problematicus, a taxon erected for isolated diplodont teeth. By comparison with median and paired fin spine morphology on the climatiiform Climatius reticulatus from the Scottish Lower Old Red Sandstone and the spines preserved on the articulated Doliodus, isolated fin spines from Campbellton and several localities on the Gaspé Peninsula are now identified as belonging to Doliodus latispinosus comb. nov. The variety of spine morphotypes recognized—pectoral, prepelvic, prepectoral, and median—support a phylogenetic position within the “acanthodians” rather than “conventionally defined chondrichthyans”.
