AbstractEcological data, distribution records, comments, and diagnostic features are given for eight European species of Longitarsus Latreille introduced into North America: L. ferrugineus (Foudras); L. succineus (Foudras); L. luridus (Scopoli); L. jacobaeae (Waterhouse); L. ganglbaueri Heikertinger; L. pratensis (Panzer); L. pellucidus (Foudras); and L. rubiginosus (Foudras). The last two species are reported for the first time in North America.

A new psyllid pest of ficus, Macrohomotoma gladiata (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Psylloidea), is reported for the first time from North America (California, U.S.A.). Notes on another adventive psyllid species that has been collected from ficus in California, Homotoma ficus, are given, together with a list diagnostic features that separate between M. gladiata and H. ficus.

In the following notes, two European species, one a pest of Lilium, are recorded for the first time from North America; an European pest that was introduced into the United States is recorded from Canadian localities; and a Mexican species not noted previously from the United States is recorded from Texas. The five forms described as new belong to difficult groups in which the species show strong monophagous tendencies.

AbstractThe taxonomy and biology of New World species of Chrysolampinae are reviewed with diagnoses given for the subfamily, genera, and species. A key to the species of Chrysolampus and a summary of geographic distribution and information on host and floral associations are presented. Three new species are described from North America (Chrysolampus improcerus, C. luridus and C. elegans); Chrysolampus lycti Crawford is transferred to Perilampus and synonymized with the European species P. micans Dalman. The genus Chrysomalla is recorded in the New World for the first time based on the new species Chrysomalla hesperis. An explanation of the historical biogeography of the genera is proposed that is consistent with Late Cretaceous and Tertiary geological, botanical, and climatic information. It is suggested that the extant species are descendents of elements of a widely distributed arid biota.

<em>Abstract</em>.—The systematics of lampreys was investigated using complete mitochondrial cytochrome <em>b</em> sequences from all genera and nearly all recognized species. The families Geotriidae and Petromyzontidae are monophyletic, but the family Mordaciidae was resolved as two divergent lineages at the base of the tree. Within Petromyzontidae, the nonparasitic <em>Lethenteron</em> sp. S and <em>Okkelbergia aepyptera</em> were recognized as distinct lineages, <em>Lethenteron morii</em> and <em>Lampetra zanandreai</em> were moved to new genera, a sister species relationship was recovered between <em>Caspiomyzon wagneri </em>and <em>Eudontomyzon hellenicus</em>, and a clade was recovered inclusive of <em>Entosphenus hubbsi</em> and western North American <em>Lampetra </em>(<em>L. ayresii </em>and <em>L. richardsoni</em>). The placement of <em>E. hellenicus</em> as the sister species to <em>C. wagneri </em>reduces the number of genera comprised entirely of parasitic species to two, <em>Geotria</em> and <em>Petromyzon</em>. The recognition of distinct lineages for <em>O. aepyptera</em> and <em>Lethenteron</em> sp. S recognizes, for the first time, lineages comprised entirely of nonparasitic species. Apart from the results mentioned above, monophyly was supported for the multispecific genera <em>Entosphenus</em>, <em>Eudontomyzon</em>, <em>Ichthyomyzon</em>, <em>Lampetra</em> (restricted to European species), and <em>Lethenteron</em>. Intergeneric relationships within Petromyzontidae were poorly resolved, but separate clades inclusive of <em>Entosphenus</em> and <em>Tetrapleurodon</em> (subfamily Entospheninae) and one comprised of <em>Eudontomyzon</em>, <em>Lampetra</em>, and <em>Okkelbergia</em> were recovered.

AbstractNineteen species of carabid beetles are added to the list of those found in agricultural lands near Belleville in 1959–62, and eight previously determined to genus only are herein identified to species. Notiophilus intermedins Lth. is reported from Ontario for the first time, and a second record is made of Bembidion obtusum Ser., a European species doubtfully established in North America.

This note deals with three European species of Orthotylinae now known to occur in Canada. Pilophorus confusus was discovered in 1976 in Nova Scotia and is reported for the first time from the Nearctic region. Additional distribution records are given for Orthotylus nassatus and O. viridinervis previously reported from North America by Henry (1977) and Henry and Wheeler (1979), respectively. The three species were likely introduced accidentally into this country some time ago with nursery stock importations but remained undetected until recently. They are predatory and overwinter in the egg stage. The adults of the three species are illustrated.

First Time

Species of Chrysolampus are widely distributed in arid regions of western North America and parasitize tychiine weevils that infest the seed pods of legumes. Detailed host information is presented for the first time: Chrysolampus sisymbrii parasitizes Tychius tectus in Astragalus inflexus and Chrysolampus schwarzi parasitizes Tychius lineellus in Lupinus leucophyllus. Data are presented on phenology, sex ratio, mating and oviposition behaviour of adults, and behaviour and development of larvae and pupae. Ovipositional promiscuity (i.e., eggs are equally likely to be laid in pods infested or uninfested with weevil larvae) is documented in both species of Chrysolampus and discussed from a historical perspective. The immature stages of C. sisymbrii and C. schwarzi are described and illustrated using both light and scanning electron microscopy, and hypermetamorphic development is documented; the first-instar larva is morphologically distinct from the remaining larval instars. On the basis of both life history and morphology it is appropriate to refer to the first-instar larvae as planidia. The first-instar larva is sclerotized, mobile, and actively involved in host location and attack, and it is regarded as homologous to the planidia of the Eucharitidae and Perilampidae. Previous phylogenetic hypotheses regarding Chrysolampus, the Eucharitidae, and the Perilampidae are reevaluated and discussed in light of these new morphological, behavioural, and ecological data.

Eleven species of free-living Copepoda are dealt with in this paper. One of them (Eucyclops lilljeborgi (Sars)) is recorded for the first time in North America. Three species (E. prionophorus Kiefer, Megacyclops latipes Lowndes, and Acanthocyclops carolinianus Yeatman) have not been recorded in Canada before, while three species (A. venustoides Coker, A. venustoides bispinosus Yeatman, and Paracyclops affinis (Sars)) have not hitherto been recorded in Ontario. Four species considered rare, namely Diaptomus wilsonae Reed, Diacyclops navus Herrick, Macrocyclops ater Herrick, and Mesocyclops leuckarti Claus, but found to be widely distributed are briefly referred to. Notes are given of the diagnostic features and distribution of each species.
