AbstractA key to species for adults and figures of the three North American Cinygma are presented. New distribution records are given; the range of C. lyriformis McDunnough is extended to Alaska and the genus in the Palearctic is discussed. Nymphs are undescribed except for C. integrum (Eaton). The life history of the latter is given for Oregon. Nymphs of all size classes are present throughout the year but adult emergence is restricted to mid May to mid July. Nymphs apparently are restricted to a submerged wood habitat.

AbstractThe name Enaysma Delucchi, 1954 is synonymized with the name Achrysocharoides Girault, 1913. Achrysocharoides is divided into two species-groups, guizoti and gahani. Fifteen North American species are recognized, including five that are new: A. reticulatus, A. bisulcus, A. albus, A. tetrapunctatus, and A. intricatus. A key to species, host lists, and distributions are included.

Relatively little is known of the life history, ecology and behaviour of most species of Tabanidae. Knowledge of their immature stages is particularly deficient. The larvae of only 46, or about ⅛, of the North American species have been described and many of these descriptions are inadequate. The present research was initiated in 1960 to describe and classify tabanid larvae and to contribute information on larval habitats and life histories.

A new species of acarid mite, Naiadacarus sidorchukae sp. n., is described from phoretic deutonymphs collected from a European spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus, pheromone trap in Western Siberia, Russia. Morphologically, the new species is very similar to the North American species, Naiadacarus fashingi, with the only diagnostic character being the shorter tibial solenidion φ II in the former species. Unlike some Naiadacarus species, which are truly aquatic, Naiadacarus sidorchukae probably does not inhabit fully aquatic habitats. This species and other presumably non-aquatic taxa, may represent the ancestral condition in the genus Naiadacarus, and, therefore are critical in studying land to water ecological transitions that have occurred in this mite genus. The monotypic genus Naiacus Nesbitt, 1990 is considered as a junior synonym of Naiadacarus Fashing, 1974 (syn. n.), with its type-species, Naiacus muertensis Nesbitt, 1990, recombined as Naiadacarus muertensis (Nesbitt, 1990), comb. n. A key to species of Naiadacarus of the world is provided

AbstractThe first of a planned series of papers revising the Nearctic species of the predaceous diving beetle genus, Agabus Leach, is presented. The genus is defined in the broad sense of Sharp (1882) and Fall (1922). The North American species are divided into species groups and diagnostic characters for group recognition are summarized in a key. Assignment of species to these groups is indicated in a checklist of North American species. The ambiguus-, tristis-, and arcticus-groups are defined, their relationships discussed, and included species revised. The ambiguus-group, which is restricted to North America, contains the species A. ambiguus (Say), A. strigulosis (Crotch), A. erythropterus (Say), A. austinii Sharp, and A. klamathensis sp.nov. The tristis-group, which has a Holarctic distribution, contains two species in North America, A. tristis Aubé and A. leptapsis (LeConte). The Holarctic arcticus-group is represented by A. arcticus (Paykull) and A. anthracinus (Mannerheim) in North America. For each species, patterns of variation are described, the North American distributions mapped, and ecological information summarized.

AbstractThe North American species of Momonia Halbert, 1906, are revised. Larvae, deutonymphs, and adults of Momonia campylotibia sp.nov. are described, adults of Momonia marciae Habeeb and Momonia projecta Cook are redescribed, and deutonymphs of M. projecta are described for the first time. New morphological, life history, and distributional data are presented for all species. A new diagnosis of Momonia is proposed, and a key to adults of all known species of the genus is included.

Montiphylax, a new genus within the Limnephilidae, is proposed to includePhilocascaalba,P.antennata, andP.thor. Characters for the adults and larvae are presented to separateMontiphylaxfromPhilocasca. A summary of the distribution and life history of theMontiphylaxspecies is provided. A key to ease separation of the known North American caddisfly larvae with gill clusters of single filaments is given.
