The United States fauna of the genus Ittys (Trichogrammatidae: Paracentrobiini) is revised for the first time. This revision includes a redescription of the genus, redescriptions of the named North American species with illustrations of diagnostic characters. The genus Ittys contains three described North American species which are all considered synonyms of the widespread Ittys ceresarum (Ashmead). Four new species from the United States I. californica n. sp., I. infuscata n. sp., I. macfarlandi n. sp. and I. inermis n. sp. are described as new.

A new species of Dineutus Macleay, 1825 is described from the Southeastern CoastalPlain of the United Sates. Habitus and aedeagus images as well as illustrations of elytralapices, protarsus, palps, and male mesopretarsal claws are provided for Dineutus shorti n.sp. and compared to those of D. discolor Aubé, 1838. The importance of theSoutheastern Coastal Plain as a biodiversity hotspot and the potential conservationconcern of D. shorti n. sp. also are discussed.

During the course of revisional studies of the tribe Larvaevorini, a number of undescribed species were received from outside sources. Rather than delay the return of specimens, and on the chance that the final revision will not be published for some time, the descriptions of these new forms are given below.Juriniopsis aurifrons new speciesUntil the present only one species of Juriniopsis, adusta Wulp. (floridensis Tns.) has been recognized from the United States. The new species, which ranges in Arizona, New Mexico and Utah differs from adusta Wulp. in the following characters: female front tarsus slender (widened and flattened in adusta); male vertex 0.35 head width (0.27 head width in adusta); parafrontals subshining yellowish with yellowish or brownish-yellow pollen (subshining bluish-grey with greyish or yellowish-grey pollen in adusta), and in the structure of the genitalia.

Herein, the cleptoparasitic (cuckoo) bee genusEpeolus(Hymenoptera: Apidae) is revised for species occurring in North America, north of Mexico, and an updated checklist of all species known to occur in Canada and the United States of America is provided with comprehensive descriptions, diagnoses, and a single dichotomous key (using the same couplets for both sexes) to aid in their identification. To increase their recognition among North American naturalists, English common names are also proposed for all North AmericanEpeolus. A total of 43 species is confirmed as present in the region, 15 of which are newly recognized. The following new species are proposed based on unique morphological (and in most cases also molecular) attributes:E.andriyisp. n.,E.attenboroughisp. n.,E.axillarissp. n.,E.basilisp. n.,E.brumleyisp. n.,E.chamaesarachaesp. n.,E.deyrupisp. n.,E.diadematussp. n.,E.ferrariisp. n.,E.gibbsisp. n.,E.inornatussp. n.,E.nebulosussp. n.,E.packerisp. n.,E.splendidussp. n., andE.tessierissp. n.Of the 15, six (E.axillaris,E.brumleyi,E.chamaesarachae,E.diadematus,E.splendidus, andE.tessieris) were identified as new species under different names (nomina nuda) in an M.Sc. thesis by Richard L. Brumley in 1965, but until now they have not been formally described. Detailed morphological comparisons with some evidence from DNA barcoding support the following synonymies, one of whichCwas first proposed by Brumley (1965): a)E.melectimimusCockerell and Sandhouse,syn.n., underE.asperatusCockerell; b)E.crucisCockerell,syn.n., underE.compactusCresson; c)E.mesillaepalmarumLinsley,syn.n., underE.mesillae(Cockerell); and d)E.weemsiMitchell,syn.n., and e)E.vernalisMitchell,syn.n., underE.ilicisMitchell. Only one member of the almost entirely Neotropical “Trophocleptria group” (EpeolusbifasciatusCresson) is confirmed as occurring north of Mexico, and is widespread East of the Rocky Mountains. Known floral associations are indicated for each species, as are suspected or known host species ofColletesLatreille. Evidence is presented that suggests further investigation into the possible synonymy ofColleteswickhamiTimberlake underC.scopiventerSwenk is warranted.

Descriptions of several new species of two-winged flies from North America are presented herewith and keys to several genera or well-defined groups are given. I am indebted to Dr. J. M. Aldrich of the United States National Museum for comparing considerable Tachinid material with the types in collectiocs under his care and also for additional representatives of some of the new species.

This work provides a taxonomic survey of the North American species of the genus Elonus Casey, 1895 (Coleoptera: Tenebrionoidea: Aderidae). It includes the description of a new species, Elonus gruberi n. sp. from the United States, related to E. hesperus Werner, 1990 and to E. basalis (LeConte, 1855). A review and key to the North American species is provided.

AbstractDyschirius cerberus n. sp. from Kansas and D. colossus n. sp. from Texas are described and compared with other North American species of Dyschirius. Lindroth’s (1961) key to North American species is modified to include the two new species. The politus group is redefined and a new group, the criddlei group, is described.
