AbstractThe genus Porrhodites Kraatz is redescribed to include the Nearctic Paradeliphrum inflatum Hatch, as well as the Holarctic Porrhodites fenestralis (Zetterstedt). Orochares Kraatz is also redescribed to include Paradeliphrum (new synonymy). In addition to O. angustatus Erichson from Europe, O. japonicus Cameron from Japan and O. villiersi Jarrige from Iran, Orochares now includes two Nearctic species, Paradeliphrum tumidum Hatch from the Pacific Northwest and the new species O. suteri from Illinois and Wisconsin. Keys are provided to distinguish the North American species of each genus, and the major diagnostic characters of all included taxa are illustrated.

AbstractThe North American genusCeratagalliaKirkaldy, 1907 is redefined to include subgenusAceratagalliaKirkaldy, 1907 (=IoniaBall, 1933, syn.nov.) with 78 species in two subgenera. Two additional new species are unplaced to subgenus:C. aceratafrom Oregon, andC. emarginatafrom Mexico. The typical subgenusCeratagalliahas 30 species, includingC. gillettei(Osborn & Ball, comb.nov.),C. sordida(Oman, comb.nov.), and two new speciesC. anafrom Mexico andC. viperafrom Washington state. SubgenusAceratagalliahas 46 species, all new combinations underCeratagallia. The economic "species" formerly known as "sanguinolenta" is divided into the Canadian clover leafhopperC. humilis(Oman) and the American clover leafhopperC. agricolasp.nov. Other new taxa in subgenusAceratagalliainclude 18 new species and seven new subspecies:alaskana(ssp. ofsiccifolia)from Alaska;omanion the Pacific coast from Oregon to British Columbia;clinoandlophiafrom the Oregon interior;compressa(ssp. ofsiccifolia),gallus,modesta,okanagana, andzacki(ssp. ofnanella) from intermontane valleys of the Pacific northwest and southwestern mountains;interior(ssp. ofhumilis) androssifrom the Sonoran subregion;australis(ssp. ofnanella),coma,ebena,entoma,falcata,oionus, andvenosafrom Mexico and Texas;alvarana(ssp. ofhumilis),cerea,cristula,harrisi, semiarida, andviatorwidespread between the Appalachian and Rocky Mountains; andwhitcombi(ssp. ofrobusta) from Florida to Arizona. Four former species are reduced to subspecies:compactaOman andpoudrisOman inC. robusta(Oman),helveolaOman inC. cinerea(Osborn & Ball), andtruncataOman inC. humilis. The taxa are keyed and illustrated, and their phylogeny is discussed.

AbstractThe North American species of the genus Olophrum Erichson are revised. Seven species are recognized, the holarctic species O. latum Mäklin, O. boreale Gyllenhal, O. consimile Gyllenhal, and O. rotundicolle C. R. Sahlberg; the eastern North American species O. obtectum Erichson, and the new species O. cascadeuse known from northern California and eastern Oregon and O. idahoense known from southern Idaho.Lectotypes are designated for O. marginatum Mäklin (= O. consimile), O. parvulum Mäklin (= O. consimile), O. convexum Mäklin (= O. rotundicolle), and O. convexicolle LeConte (= O. rotundicolle). The following new synonymy was established: O. bernhauerianum Scheerpeltz, O. recticolle Scheerpeltz, O. recticolle curtipenne Scheerpeltz are synonyms of O. consimile; O. quesneli Hatch is a synonym of O. boreale; and O. brevicolle Bernhauer is a synonym of O. latum. All species are described and illustrated with scanning electron photomicrographs and line drawings, five maps showing the North American distribution of each species are provided, and a key is presented to aid in the identification of the species. All available records and biological data for the species are provided.

AbstractThe 10 North American species of Mycetochara Berthold are reviewed. All species are redescribed and one new species, marshalli, is described from California. Former treatments of the species of the genus have considered males and females as separate species. This review associates all known males and females. The following new synonymy is presented: megalops Casey and nigerrima Casey (= fraterna Say); tenuis LeConte, gilipes Casey, and lecontei Borchmann (= foveata LeConte); lugubris LeConte, horni Dury, and davisi Hatch (= analis LeConte); marginata LeConte and longula LeConte (= binotata Say); longipennis Casey (= pubipennis LeConte); and pacifica Casey, nevadensis Casey, crassulipes Casey, downei Hatch, angusta Hatch, malkini Hatch, and caseyi Hatch (= procera Casey).A key is presented to aid in the identification of the species. The male terminalia are illustrated for all species except haldemani and lata, which are known only from females.

AbstractGroup VII of North American Ips contains I. thomasi, new species, I. borealis Swaine and I. swainei R. Hopping. They are less than 4.0 mm. long and females have the front of the head or at least the vertex smooth and shining, impunctate, or with very fine sparse punctures; males are more coarsely granulate-punctate on the frons. The species are described and a key is given. All breed in Picea in Canada and northern United States.

I am hardly prepaled at present to accept Isodontia elegans, Smith, as a variety of I. apicalis, Smith. The differences between the two seem to be very constant, and their distribution appears to be somewhat different, elegans being more a southern and western form, while apicalis occurs chiefly in the central, eastern and northern States.
