AbstractThe North American Aegeriidae are revised on the basis of the study of late-instar larvae of about 60 species. These species represent 20 genera in five tribes in two subfamilies: Bembeciini, Zenodoxini, Aegeriini and Melittiini in Zenodoxinae and Synanthedontini in Synanthedontinae. The presently recognized genera, Ramosia Engelhardt, Conopia Hübner and Thamnosphecia Spuler are reduced to synonyms of Synanthedon Hübner. Three new genera are defined by larval characters but are referred to only as Genera I, II and III. Larval characters for most of the species are discussed and illustrated; keys to species, genera and tribes are provided. Tribes, genera and most species are arranged in the text as nearly as possible according to their phylogenetic relationships as suggested by the larvae.

Freshwater Teleosts

Contrary to ideas that Cretaceous fresh waters contained few teleosts, there were several taxa of Esocoidei (pikes and relatives) in North American Cretaceous rivers. Dentaries and palatines of Campanian to Maastrichtian age all have C-shaped tooth bases and other distinctive features of shape and foramina. The fossils include at least three distinct kinds, two of which are described here as new genera and species in the Esocidae: Estesesox foxi n. gen. and sp. and Oldmanesox canadensis n. gen. and sp.These old, diverse, and apparently primitive specimens show that pikes radiated when Eurasia and North America were still joined. Some references in the literature to the Cretaceous fish Platacodon Marsh are based on referred dentaries that are here identified as esocoid fossils. The Esocidae are the first example of a family of Recent North American freshwater teleosts that has been shown to have speciated in Cretaceous fresh waters and survived the terminal Cretaceous extinction.

The above is the title of a paper received from the author, and published in the Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London (February 15th, 1881), in which his Lordship characterizes three new genera : Phryganeopsis—one species, P. brunnea; Aræolepia—one species, subfasciella; and Euceratia—two species, castella and securella. He also describes as new Calantica polita, Plutella interrupta, P. albidorsella and P. vanella; Cerostoma falciferella, C. cervella, C. sublulella, C. dentiferella, C. canariella and C. frustella; Depressaria sabulella, D. argillacea, D. arnicella, D. klamathiana, D. posticella, D. nubiferella, D. parilella and D. umbraticostella; Menestia rubescens ; Glyphipteryx regalis, G. californiæ, G. bifasciata, G. unifasciata and G. quinqueferella, and Heliodines extraneella.

The following descriptions of five new genera and species of Tachinidae are based upon material received from several sources as indicated below. Most of the species have been standing in my collection for a number of years pending the accumulation of longer series. My thanks are due A. R. Brooks for the loan of some additional material recently discovered in the extensive tachinid collections in the Canadian Department of Agriculture. The type or paratype specimens, of the two species represented by this material, are returned for deposit in the Canadian Collection, as detailed under the descriptions.
