Diogmites bilobatus sp. nov. is described from museum specimens collected in the south central and southwestern United States and northern Mexico. Its close resemblance to the widespread D. angustipennis Loew is established. Diogmites grossus Bromley syn. nov., D. pulcher (Back) syn. nov., and D. symmachus Loew syn. nov. are synonymized with D. angustipennis, and lectotypes are designated for D. angustipennis and D. symmachus. Notes on morphological variation, habitat, prey, distribution, and phenology are provided for D. bilobatus sp. nov. and D. angustipennis.

High spatial resolution maps of daily Keetch-Byram Drought Index (KBDI) are constructed for the south-eastern United States. KBDI is a cumulative algorithm for estimating fire potential from meteorological information, including daily maximum temperature, daily total precipitation, and mean annual precipitation. With few input parameters, the KBDI is attractive for providing estimates of fire potential at a large number of locations. The Southeast Regional Climate Center (SERCC) applies the original algorithms over daily time steps to maximize the response time in the event of rapidly increasing fire potential. Algorithms are applied to a network of 261 weather stations across the south-eastern United States to provide regional contour maps of KBDI as well as maps of week-to-week KBDI difference. Though uniformity and spatial density of weather stations and the consistency of input parameters are potential hurdles, it is shown that careful compilation of meteorological databases makes KBDI a tractable and valuable monitoring tool for automated fire-potential monitoring.

Distributions of amphibian and reptile species in northern Mexico are poorly understood when compared to adjacent areas of the southwestern United States. To address this gap in knowledge, we conducted a series of surveys in east-central Chihuahua, Mexico in 2014–2016. We documented 40 new municipality records for amphibian and reptile species by means of high quality digital photos. Photographic surveys offer a low-cost, highly accessible technique for accumulating distributional information.

Sampling of arthropods in ground and woody vegetation habitats in highland areas on the islands of Hawaii and Maui revealed six species of psocids of the genus Liposcelis. Three are new and are here described. L. maunakea sp. n. and L. volcanorum sp. n. are closely related and form a small species complex together with L. nasus Sommerman and L. deltachi Sommerman from southwestern United States and northern Mexico. A key to the species of this complex is included. The third new species, L. kipukae sp. n., is a member of group II-C with only 5 ommatidia in the eye. A key to the known species of group II-C with fewer than 7 ommatidia in the eye is included. First Hawaiian records are presented for L. bostrychophila Badonnel, L. deltachi, and L. rufa Broadhead. The first known males of L. bostrychophila are reported and described. This species is very widespread, but generally parthenogenetic.
