Two new species of Schizocosa are described and illustrated, namely, S. heasmani from meadow habitats in eastern Ontario and S. aulonia from the beaches and sand dunes of northeastern Illinois. These species closely resemble, respectively, S. avida (Walckenaer) and S. retrorsa (Banks), which are also illustrated.

During field work at Bobcaygeon, Ont., in the summers of 1931 and 1932 I paid particular attention to the collecting and breeding of Haploptilia larvae and was successful in securing considerably over a dozen species. As very little has been published on this interesting group apart from Heinrich's excellent treatment in Forbes' Lepidoptera of New York State (1924, Mem. 68, Cornell Univ. Agr. Exp. Sta. pp. 202-217) it has occurred to me that the publication of my field notes, combined with a photographic figure of the characteristic larval case pertaining to each species, might be of value to students.

A New Species

Stromatoporoids are abundant in parts of the Sayabec, St. Leon, and Mont Wissick formations of Wenlock and Ludlow age in eastern Quebec, Canada. The fauna is a mixture of species from Wenlock strata of northern Europe, the Wenlock and Ludlow beds of Baie des Chaleurs, Quebec, and Niagaran rocks of the Great Lakes region. Clathrodictyon crickmayi and Stromatopora prima show the affinity of the fauna to that described by Parka from Baie des Chaleurs. Densastroma astroites indicates a close connection of the fauna with the rocks of Wenlock age in England and the Baltic area. Stromatopora antiqua shows the affinity of the fauna to that of central North America. Ecclimadictyon fastigiatum is a widespread species in all these regions. A new species of Actinodictyon (A. quebecense) is described. Two unnamed species of Stromatopora and Clathrodictyon cf. podolica make up the rest of the fauna.

Two New Species

Hoplia (Hoplia) dubia (Rossi, 1792) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Melolonthinae: Hopliini) is a species that is endemic of Italy, recorded for scattered localities along the coasts of the peninsula and of Sicily. Following the study of a rather large amount of specimens from the entire known range, Hoplia dubia is herein split into three allopatric species. The true Hoplia dubia is redescribed and a neotype is designated. Two new species, Hoplia (Hoplia) meridiana and Hoplia (Hoplia) messapia, are described and the Hoplia dubia species group is defined. For each species, a full description is given and diagnostic characters are summarized and compared in a table. The three species belonging to the group may be recognized mainly by morphological and chromatic differences in scales, scales density, and by setal pattern, which are all illustrated. Remarks on ecology, ethology, and phenology of adults of the species are also reported. All three species treated in this paper are restricted to coastal sand dunes. The significant loss of this habitat due to anthropogenic pressure raises concern about the conservation status of these 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.

AbstractTwo new species of Xanthoria are described and illustrated, and comments about their differences from related taxa are provided. These are: X. ascendens from bark and shrub remains in sea-shore sand dunes and hillsides in Argentina, Chile and Peru, and X. ucrainica, from bark, stones, and some man-made substrata in the Ukraine, Sweden, United Kingdom, Germany, Austria and Asian Russia.

Two New Species

The morphological, histochemical, and molecular properties of two new species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF; Glomeromycota) have been characterized. The first species is distinguished by spores that are orange to brownish orange, small, and formed only in clusters and mainly by having two laminate layers in a three-layered spore wall, with layer three staining dark in Melzer’s reagent. Despite the morphological similarity to some Septoglomus spp., phylogenetic analyses of sequences of the SSU–ITS–LSU nrDNA region and the RPB1 gene accommodated the fungus in the genus Dominikia, hence it was named Dominika emiratia. Intact spores of the second species, named Rhizoglomus dunense, closely resemble colourless isolates of R. clarum, but their spore wall layer three never becomes coloured with age, as does that in most R. clarum spores, and most importantly, the two fungi are separated by a large molecular distance. Dominikia emiratia was originally extracted from the rhizosphere of three plant species cultivated in two fields in a sandy desert in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi of the United Arab Emirates. Rhizoglomus dunense was found in a trap culture inoculated with the rhizosphere soil and root fragments of Ammophila arenaria, which had colonized sand dunes of the Mediterranean Sea, located near Thessalonica, Greece.
