Third Instar Larvae

Three Nearctic species of Monodiamesa are described: Monodiamesa depectinata sp.n. from male imagines, pupa, and fourth- and third-instar larvae; Monodiamesa tuberculata sp.n. from imagines, pupae, and fourth- and third-instar larvae; and Monodiamesa prolilobata sp.n. from male imagines. A larva possibly belonging to M. prolilobata is described. These are the first records and descriptions of imagines of Nearctic species of this genus.Keys are given for male imagines, pupae, and larvae of the Nearctic and Palaearctic species of the genus.Monodiamesa depectinata occurs in the Laurentian Great Lakes area and in Lake Winnipeg, Man. It was taken from sandy substrates in the lower littoral and the sublittoral zones of oligotrophic to mesotrophic lakes. Monodiamesa tuberculata occurs from the mainland of British Columbia through the prairie provinces and the Northwest Territories to the Laurentian Great Lakes. It was taken from the sublittoral and profundal zones of oligotrophic lakes and in some lakes is probably a glacial relict. Monodiamesa prolilobata, from west of the Rocky Mountains, probably covers the combined ecological niches of the two more easterly species.

Two New Species

Two Nearctic species of Protanypus are described: Protanypus ramosus n.sp. from imagines, pupae, and fourth-, third-, and second-instar larvae; Protanypus hamiltoni n.sp. from male imagines, pupae, and fourth-, third-, and second-instar larvae. The larvae of two other species are described. These are the first published descriptions of Nearctic imagines of the genus.Keys are given for male imagines, pupae, and known larvae of the Nearctic and Palaearctic species of the genus.Protanypus ramosus occurs in several oligotrophic and oligohumic to weakly polyhumic lakes in northwestern Ontario, in Algonquin Park, and in the Great Lakes. Protanypus hamiltoni is found in three deep and large, oligotrophic lakes in British Columbia and in Great Slave Lake. Both species are bivoltine. Protanypus sp. A occurs in Marion Lake, British Columbia, a small oligotrophic lake. Protanypus sp. B is found in George Lake, La Cloche Mountain Region, Ontario, an acidified oligotrophic lake.

The Palaearctic species Dasyhelea (Dasyhelea) pallidiventrisis recorded for the first time from India. Dasyhelea (Ps.) deemingi BOORMAN & HARTEN, 2002 is revised, Dasyhelea (Ps.) acuta BRAHMA, SAHA & HAZRA, 2016 is deemed a junior synonym of Dasyhelea similinigrina NAVAI, 1994, and a key to the Indian species of the subgenera Dasyhelea, Prokempia, Pseudoculicoides and Sebessia is provided.

Twenty-two species of Early Permian colonial rugose corals belonging to 12 genera from 10 locations in the Stikine River area in northwestern British Columbia, Canada, are described. These include three new species ofFomichevella(F. magna, F. southeri, F. bamberi); two species ofHeintzella; five species ofHeritschioides, of which three are new (H. bagleyae, H. garvinae, H. hoganae); two new species ofParaheritschioides(P. jennyi, P. wickenae); one new species questionably assigned toKleopatrina(K.?stikinensis); two new species ofPetalaxis(P. guaspariniae, P. neriae); and two new species ofLytvophyllum(L.?mongeri, L. wersoni). In addition, five new species assigned to five new genera are here namedEastonastraea complexa, Fedorowskiella simplex, Pararachnastraea lewisi, Stikineastraea thomasi, andWilsonastraea rigbyi.These corals occur in rocks forming part of the Stikine terrane, the largest tectonostratigraphic unit in western Canada. This coral fauna shows a very close affinity with that of the Lower Permian McCloud Limestone of the eastern Klamath Mountains of northern California, and there is some similarity to the Coyote Butte fauna of central Oregon. Several species compare most closely with species from Spitsbergen, but there are few similarities with any cratonal North American faunas and none with Tethyan faunas.

The genus Choeras Mason, 1981 (Hymenoptera: Braconidae, Microgastrinae) in northern Iran is studied taxonomically. Specimens were collected using Malaise traps during 2010 and 2011. A total of five species were identified, three being new species which are described and illustrated: Choeras formosus Abdoli & Fernandez-Triana sp. nov., C. fulviventris Fernandez-Triana & Abdoli sp. nov. and C. qazviniensis Fernandez-Triana & Talebi sp. nov. Two species (i.e., C. taftanensis and C. tiro) are new provincial records. The number of Choeras species in Iran is now raised to seven. An identification key to all West Palaearctic species of Choeras is provided.

Three hermit crabs, Pagurus caurinus, P. quaylei, and P. stevensae, from British Columbia are described as new. Calastacus quinqueseriatus Rathbun, Paguristes ulreyi Schmitt, Pagurus cavimanus (Miers), P. samuelis (Stimpson), Parapagurus pilosimanus Smith, Munidopsis quadrata Faxon, and Chionoecetes tanneri Rathbun have not been recorded from the area between 48° and 55°N and 123° and 135°W, and also show considerable extensions of the known ranges. Within the confines of the same area, Callianassa gigas Dana, Paguristes turgidus (Stimpson), Pagurus cornutus (Benedict), P. hemphilli (Benedict), Orthopagurus minimus (Holmes), Petrolisthes cinctipes (Randall), Sceleroplax granulata Rathbun, Pinnotheres pugettensis Holmes, P. taylori Rathbun, and Planes marinus Rathbun are reported with extensions to known ranges. Pagurus capillatus (Benedict), P. tanneri (Benedict), Paralomis verrilli (Benedict), and Lithodes couesi Benedict are recorded, apparently for the first time from British Columbia, although known from both north and south of this area.
