Genetic Characters

We describe a new species of chorus frog of the North American treefrog genus Pseudacris from the south-central United States. This new species is morphologically similar to the parapatric species P. feriarum and has thus previously been considered synonymous with this species. The new species is geographically distinct from P. feriarum and from its sister species, P. nigrita. We diagnose the new species based on advertisement call, morphological, and genetic characters.

A New Species

A new species of stag beetle, Nicagus occultus n. sp., is described from the Monahans Sandhills of western Texas. Previously, the genus Nicagus contained only two species: N. obscurus (LeConte) from the eastern and central United States and southern Canada, and N. japonicus Nagel from Japan. The discovery of N. occultus represents both an unexpected range extension and an unusual habitat (unvegetated sand dunes) for the family Lucanidae. A synopsis (diagnosis and distribution) for each Nicagus species is given, including detailed distributional information for N. obscurus.
