AbstractThe Nearctic species of the elaterid genusAthouseast of the Rocky Mountains are revised. Of the 16 included species, two are described as new (neacanthusknown from southern Quebec to northern Georgia andorvusknown from Nova Scotia to Michigan to Virginia) and two species are transferred fromDenticollis, namely,productus(Randall) andquadrosaBecker (as a new junior synonym ofA.appalachiusVan Dyke). Other new synonymies are:carolinusVan Dyke as a junior synonym ofacanthus(Say),erebusVan Dyke ofposticus(Melsheimer), andbipunctatusProvancher ofproductus(Randall). The European speciescampyloidesis known from North America from near Quebec City and in the Canadian Maritime Provinces. Neotypes are designated for the five species described by Say and Randall and for one described by Melsheimer; lectotypes, when needed, are designated for LeConte’s, Melsheimer’s, and Candèze’s species. A key to the species is presented and the salient features and distribution maps for each species are included. Brief notes are given on three western species ofAthous: two common species (rufiventris(Eschscholtz) andnigropilisMotschulsky) that are occasionally found east of the Rockies andorophilusHarold, which is known only by the type from the Bitter Root Mountains. Brief discussions are included of two European species,vittatus(Fabricius) andsubfuscus(Müller), which have been intercepted at various eastern ports in Canada and the United States, but which have not become established in North America.

Eleven Species

AbstractAll Cardiophorus species found in Canada and the United States of America east of the Rocky Mountains are keyed and all but those with the majority of their ranges west of the Rocky Mountains are revised. Eleven species are recognized, three of which are new to science (C. catskillensissp. nov., C. destinensissp. nov., and C. panamapolissp. nov.). Cardiophorus floridae Candèze and C. angustatus Blanchard are synonymized under C. convexus (Say). All 11 are described and taxonomically important characters are presented. Distribution maps are presented for each species. The following lectotypes are designated for species that were described from more than one specimen without former holotype designation: C. angustatus, C. floridae, C. erythropus Erichson, C. gagates Erichson, C. togatus Horn, C. robustus LeConte, C. convexulus LeConte, and C. amictus Melsheimer. The following neotypes were designated to replace destroyed type specimens: C. cardisce (Say) and C. convexus.

The Liriomyza (Diptera: Agromyzidae) of Canada and Alaska is revised, with species keyed and illustrated, and new host and geographic records provided. Eighty one species are recognized, including 24 new to science: L. agrios, L. albispina, L. anatolis, L. aphila, L. apilaca, L. aquapolis, L. arenarium, L. atrassimilis, L. bicolumbis, L. charada, L. cracentis, L. elevaster, L. emaciata, L. fumeola, L. gibsoni, L. griffithsi, L. hilairensis, L. limopsis, L. mesocanadensis, L. pilicornis, L. pistilla, L. rigaudensis, L. taraxanox, L. taraxanuda, L. tryssos. Ten species known from the United States are recorded as new to Canada: L. artemisiae Spencer, L. assimilis (Malloch), L. baccharidis Spencer, L. helianthi Spencer, L. merga Lonsdale, L. minor Spencer, L. sabaziae Spencer, L. temperata Spencer, L. violivora (Spencer) and L. virgo (Zetterstedt). Palaearctic species new to North America include L. wachtli Hendel and L. flaveola (Fallén); while the latter species has been recorded in North America before, all previous records represent misidentifications. Hosts are recorded for the first time for L. balcanicoides Sehgal, L. minor Spencer, L. orilliensis Spencer and L. socialis Spencer. Galiomyza Spencer syn. nov. is included as a junior synonym of Liriomyza Mik, resulting in six new combinations.

The genus Rhabdorthodesgen. n. is described for three previously unnamed noctuid moths from the mountains of south-western United States and Mexico. It is assigned to subfamily Noctuinae, tribe Eriopygini. Rhabdorthodespattersonisp. n. from the United States and Rhabdorthodesdurangosp. n. and Rhabdorthodespetersonisp. n. from Mexico are described. These moths are small, dull gray brown, and lack highly diagnostic wing markings, but are distinctive structurally. The adults and genitalia of both sexes are illustrated and distribution maps are presented. Two species eponyms honor persons who have facilitated the study and enjoyment of moths in North America by creating moth-specific websites.

Western Side

In the report prefixed to this paper, Major Sabine states, that Mr. Douglas was originally a gardener, and was, in the year 1833, recommended by Sir William Jackson Hooker to the late Mr. Joseph Sabine, who was then Secretary to the Horticultural Society of London, as a fit person to be employed by the Society in selecting and bringing to England a collection of plants from the United States of America. Having accomplished this mission to the complete satisfaction of his employers, he was next engaged on an expedition having similar objects with the former, but embracing a much larger field; namely, the tract of country extending from California to the highest latitude he might find it practicable to attain on the western side of the Rocky Mountains. Anxious to render to geographical and physical science all the services in his power, and to avail himself for that purpose of every opportunity which his visiting these hitherto imperfectly explored regions might afford him, he now endeavoured by diligent application to supply the deficiencies of his previous education. During the three months which preceded his departure from England, he studied with unremitting ardour and perseverance for no less than eighteen hours each day; and, conquering every difficulty, acquired a competent knowledge of the principles of science, learned the uses of various instruments, and made himself thoroughly master of the methods of taking observations both at sea and on land.

Ancient People

For many years the people of Maine, parts of New England, and the Maritime Provinces have been told that an ancient group of Indians lived in the northeastern part of the United States and later moved into New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. These ancient people have been called the Pre-Algonquian Group, The Red Paint People of Maine, and the Beothuk of Newfoundland, by various archaeologists who have excavated their graves.These archaeologists have come to the conclusion that the graves represent a very old group of Indians, but they have not agreed on who they were, where they came from, or where they went. Mr. Charles C. Willoughby shows the distribution of the pre-Algonquian culture as covering all that portion of North America east of the Great Lakes, along the Saint Lawrence River and as far south as the tip of New Jersey.

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.
