The genus Baryconus Foerster (= Hoploteleia Ashmead) (Scelionidae, Scelioninae) in North America is revised. A generic diagnosis and a key to species are given; the nomenclature and biology of Baryconus are discussed. Eight species are recognized in North America, six of them new to science: Baryconus albohirtus (United States), B. americanus (Canada, United States), B. bidentatus (United States), B. clypeatus (United States, Mexico), B. minutus (United States), and B. unidentatus (United States). The two previously known species, viz. B. floridanus Ashmead and B. noveboracensis (Brues) are redescribed, females being described for the first time. Biological and distributional notes on each species are included.

AbstractThree nematode species of Cithariniella (Pharyngodonidae), C. citharini, C. khalili, and C. gonzalesi, were recorded from the recta of squeaker (Mochokidae: Siluriformes) and citharinid (Citharinidae: Characiformes) fishes from Senegal, West Africa. Morphological characteristics obtained by scanning electron microscopy (form of oral aperture and cephalic papillae, presence of lateral alae, distribution and form of cloacal papillae, simple or paired papillae on tail of males, eggs with numerous long filaments on each pole in females) correspond well to the generic diagnosis and represent species differences. The shape and size of the cephalic papillae and lips were identified as a new determination feature. C. gonzalesi is reported for the first time from Senegal and its host, Paradistichodus dimidiatus, represents a new host record. A tentative simple key for differentiating C. citharini, C. khalili, C. gonzalesi and C. petterae is provided based upon these results.

The Liriomyza (Diptera: Agromyzidae) of Canada and Alaska is revised, with species keyed and illustrated, and new host and geographic records provided. Eighty one species are recognized, including 24 new to science: L. agrios, L. albispina, L. anatolis, L. aphila, L. apilaca, L. aquapolis, L. arenarium, L. atrassimilis, L. bicolumbis, L. charada, L. cracentis, L. elevaster, L. emaciata, L. fumeola, L. gibsoni, L. griffithsi, L. hilairensis, L. limopsis, L. mesocanadensis, L. pilicornis, L. pistilla, L. rigaudensis, L. taraxanox, L. taraxanuda, L. tryssos. Ten species known from the United States are recorded as new to Canada: L. artemisiae Spencer, L. assimilis (Malloch), L. baccharidis Spencer, L. helianthi Spencer, L. merga Lonsdale, L. minor Spencer, L. sabaziae Spencer, L. temperata Spencer, L. violivora (Spencer) and L. virgo (Zetterstedt). Palaearctic species new to North America include L. wachtli Hendel and L. flaveola (Fallén); while the latter species has been recorded in North America before, all previous records represent misidentifications. Hosts are recorded for the first time for L. balcanicoides Sehgal, L. minor Spencer, L. orilliensis Spencer and L. socialis Spencer. Galiomyza Spencer syn. nov. is included as a junior synonym of Liriomyza Mik, resulting in six new combinations.

The introduced Wormslug (Boettgerilla pallens Simroth, 1912) is reported from Quebec, Canada, for the first time, from two closely situated localities in Gatineau Park. It was previously reported from the Vancouver area of British Columbia and, very recently, from Newfoundland. Within the Americas, the species has been reported from northern California, Mexico, and Colombia, and, because it is easily overlooked, likely occurs elsewhere in North America, especially in the eastern United States. In Quebec, it was found in a natural Sugar Maple (Acer saccharum Marshall) woodland and an ornamental garden. Wormslug likely reached both sites with shrub plantings from commercial nurseries, probably quite recently, because the invasive spread of the species, worldwide, has occurred mostly during the last few decades. Although the woodland where it occurred is dominated by native plants, the gastropod fauna there is mainly introduced. Identification, characteristics, and ecology of Wormslug are discussed. The potential for impact on native soil and soil surface organisms, including native terrestrial slugs and snails, is noted.

The Bajocian (Middle Jurassic) ammonites of Western Australia are described on the basis of an extensive collection made in 1952-3 by Phillip E. Playford, who contributes a stratigraphical introduction and a geological map. In this introduction he subdivides the Jurassic sediments (total thickness at outcrop up to 550 ft.), names and defines most of the groups and formations for the first time, and elucidates complications due to lateritic alteration. All the ammonites come from the Newmarracarra Limestone (up to 38 ft. thick). The ranges of the species are determined so far as practicable. The ammonite fauna comprises at least twenty-three species (at least eleven new), now assigned to seven genera. The new collection enables Crick’s type specimens, named in 1894 on the basis of defective and inadequate material, to be reinterpreted, and necessitates complete generic revision. The age of the fauna is Middle Bajocian. Most of it belongs to the Sowerbyi Zone, but in places there is believed to be also a thin representative of the Humphriesianum Zone. A comparison (now possible for the first time) is made with the Bajocian ammonite faunas of circum-Pacific countries and central Asia: New Guinea, the Moluccas, Tibet, eastern Siberia, Alaska, western Canada, western United States, Mexico and the Andes. Photographs are given of comparable ammonites from Tibet, Canada and Argentina, not previously published photographically. Apart from the Moluccas, the peculiar Australian stephanoceratid ammonites, Pseudotoites and their allies, are not known from any of the extensive Bajocian outcrops in the Old World. Hitherto they have been thought to be confined to Western Australia. It is now shown that Pseudotoites occurs in the Moluccas, British Columbia, Alaska and Argentina, and that some rarer allied forms of Western Australia belong to the genus Zemistephanus , hitherto known only in Canada, Alaska and the United States. This distribution is held to indicate free migration across the Pacific Ocean. The regional basis of evolutionary radiation in several groups of Middle Bajocian ammonites is pointed out, and the significance of the facts for evolutionary and systematic theory is briefly stated. The Middle Bajocian stratigraphy of north-west Europe is historically summarized in order to provide a framework and scale of comparison for the Australian and circum-Pacific deposits.

A New Species

The genus Paralobella is reported from mainland China for the first time by a new species, Paralobella palustris, described here. Paralobella palustris sp. nov. differs from all known members of the genus in the specific character of 20 teeth on mandible, 4 teeth and 2 hooks on maxilla, 5 chaetae (4+s) on each tubercle L of Abd. II–III, 8 chaetae (7+s) on tubercle L of Abd. IV. The new species is assigned to Paralobella because most characters comply with the diagnosis of the genus given by Cassagnau and Deharveng (1984). It is proposed that the generic diagnosis is slightly modified to take into account some additional characters, such as mandible with many teeth (more than 3 main), the tubercle De on Abd. V separated from tubercle Dl and tubercle Oc with 1 or 2 chaetae. The above mentioned characters broaden the previous diagnosis. This diagnosis allows for including 7 species, i.e., Lobella (Lobella) apsala Yosii, 1976, L.(Lobella) erawan Yosii, 1976, L.(Lobellina) paraperfusa (Gapud, 1968), L. (Lobellina) penangensis Yosii, 1976, L.(Lobellina) sabahna Yoshii, 1981 and L.(Lobellina) selangorica Yosii, 1976 and L. (Propeanura) kinabaluensis Yoshii, 1981 into the genus Paralobella.
