A New Species

A new tardigrade species, Diphascon (Diphascon)burti, is described from lichens and mosses in New Brunswick, Canada. It differs from other species of the genus Diphascon by the presence of two macroplacoids, a large flared septulum, and a transverse pseudoseptulum. A pseudoseptulum has been reported previously in only one species from Antarctica. The description of D. burti increases the number of Diphascon species recorded from Canada to 15.

A New Species

Sixteen sponge species were recorded from Little Letite Passage, an area of highvelocity tidal currents located in the Bay of Fundy near Deer Island, New Brunswick, Canada. Of these 16 species, four species (Myxilla fimbriata, Hymeniacidon heliophila, Hemigellius sp. aff. flagellifer, and Crella rosea) have not previously been recorded from the Bay of Fundy. One new species, Hymedesmia canadensis, is described, based on the presence of a second peculiar chelate microsclere added to the spicule armament.

A New Species

AbstractA revision of the Canadian species of the genus Silusa Erichson is presented. In this contribution, we treat six species recently discovered in Canada, one of which is a new species from Alberta, Silusa langori Klimaszewski sp. nov. The distribution records for two species are greatly expanded. Silusa californica Bernhauer is now known from Alaska, Minnesota, Alberta, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia (previous records: British Columbia, California). Silusa vesperis Casey is now known from Washington and British Columbia (previous record: California). For two other species, there are first records for Canada and one new United States state record. Silusa alternans Sachse is now known from Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and New Hampshire (previous records: Georgia, New York), and Silusa densa Fenyes is now known from Alberta (previous record: California). Silusa valens Casey is here considered as a synonym of S. alternans. Silusa rutilans Casey and S. modica Casey are confirmed to belong to Leptusa Kraatz, and both are here considered as new synonyms of Leptusa canonica Casey. Silusa gracilis Sachse and S. nanula Casey are also confirmed to belong to the genus Leptusa. The following lectotypes are newly designated for species described on the basis of syntypes: S. alternans Sachse and S. californica Bernhauer. New data are provided on the systematics, relationships, bionomics, and distribution for all Nearctic species of America north of Mexico. Diagnoses and illustrations of external and genital features are provided for all species, and the distribution of each is discussed and shown on maps. A key to the species occurring in Canada is presented.

A New Species

In 1950 work was started in New Brunswick to obtain information on the biology, control, and damage caused by the arborvitae leaf miners. At that time all damage was attributed to the arborvitae leaf miner, Argyresthia thiella (Pack.). After the first season's work four species were recognized. Adults submitted to the Systematic Unit, Entomology Division, Ottawa, were identified as Argyresthia thuiella (Pack.), A. freyella Wlshm., Recurvaria thujaella Kft., and a new species of Argyresthia later described by Brower (1) as aureoargentella. With the exception of A. thuiella, insufficient material was available for complete morphological studies, so work was based on finding suitable characters to separate the species in the late larval, pupal, and adult stages.

Amarochara formicina sp. n. (Canada: New Brunswick), the 26th representative of the genus in the Holarctic region, is described and illustrated. The following synonymy and new combination are proposed: Amarochara freyi (Bernhauer, 1940), comb. n. (ex Ocyusa) = Amarochara splendens Jarrige, 1952, syn. n. Additional records are reported for several species of the Palaearctic and Nearctic regions. The previously unknown aedeagus of A. inquilina (Casey, 1906) is illustrated.

A New Species

AbstractThe paper describes a new species and genus of fly, Archidipteron walkeri (Nymphomyiidae: Diptera), found in samples seined by screens from the Molus river, New Brunswick, after spraying of the watershed with DDT in oil.The species is compared with Nymphomyia alba, Tokunaga, of Japan and the affinities of the family discussed. It was concluded that these insects are only distantly related to other Diptera and are probably best considered as belonging in the Archidiptera, a suborder of the Diptera, as proposed by Rohdendorf.The ecological position of the insects is discussed but definite conclusions are not drawn pending more information on life cycle, particularly of the, as yet unknown, larval stages.

Haliclona (Flagellia) Van Soest, 2017 is a recently erected subgenus characterized by the presence of flagellosigma microscleres which are often distinctive between species (Van Soest 2017). Members of the taxon also have normal sigmas within a confused skeleton formed by oxea megascleres. The subgenus has a global distribution and contains 10 species (Van Soest et al. 2019). A large and abundant new species collected throughout the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence is characterized by thick and abnormally shaped flagellosigmas, two sizes of oxea, and abundant normal sigmas. Lambe (1896) previously reported Haliclona (Flagellia) porosa (Fristedt, 1887) from the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and the species is known to occur in nearby Arctic waters (Fristedt 1887; Lundbeck 1902; Hentschel 1916; Koltun 1959, 1966; Van Soest 2017; Dinn & Leys 2018). However, H. (F.) porosa is characterized by the presence of very few normal sigmas and no thick flagellosigmas. Type specimens were preserved in 95% ethanol and were deposited in the Atlantic Reference Centre (ARC) in St. Andrews, New Brunswick, Canada. The taxonomic identification was performed through spicule analysis using light and scanning electron microscopy, following methods described by Dinn et al. (2020).

AbstractThe new species Neurocordulia michaelisp.nov. from New Brunswick and Maine differs from other northeastern species in the genus in its short mesotibial keel and from all congeners in the great width of its abdomen. The species is obligate crepuscular and can be locally abundant at its riverine habitat. Larvae of the species have the lowest dorsal spines in the genus and cling to the underside of rocks in rapids.
