AbstractTwo new species, Tachinus beckeri from northwestern British Columbia and southern Yukon Territory and T. californicus from southern California, are described and their major diagnostic characters illustrated with line drawings and scanning electron photomicrographs. Tachinus jacuticus campbelli is placed in synonymy with T. jacuticus jacuticus and a new subspecies, T. jacuticus ullrichi, from Quebec and Labrador is named. Tachinus thruppi Hatch is removed from synonymy with T. frigidus and considered a valid species. Both T. thruppi and T. frigidus are redescribed and illustrated. A new, revised key to the species of Tachinus is included.New distributional data are presented for 40 species and new or revised distributional maps are presented for 24 species. Changes in classification of Tachinus proposed by Ullrich in his revision of the world species are reviewed and those that are accepted are incorporated into a revised classification of the North American species. These changes are included in a check list of the North and Central American species of the genus.

The systematics of the representatives of the genus Rhabdochona, parasitic in fishes of North and Central America, is revised. Rhabdochona cascadilla Wigdor 1918, R. kidderi Pearse 1936, R. decaturensis Gustafson 1949, R. cotti Gustafson 1949, R. ovifilamenta Weller 1938, R. milled Choquette 1951, and R. canadensis sp.nov. are considered as the valid species of this region. The first six species are redescribed and illustrated. The new species, R. canadensis, is described from the cyprinids Hybopsis gracilis (flathead chub; type host), H. plumbea (lake chub), and Rhinichthys cataractae (longnose dace) of Alberta; the latter form is characterized largely by the presence of one or two long filaments at each pole of the eggs, by 14 teeth in the prostom, by the presence of the cuticular spike at the tip of the tail, and by the character of the spicules. The species R. pellucida Gustafson 1949 is regarded as a synonym of R. cascadilla Gustafson 1949, and R. laurentiana Lyster 1940 as a synonym of R. ovifilamenta Weller 1938. Rhabdochona serrata (Wright 1879) Ko and Anderson 1969 is transferred to the genus Cystidicola as species inquirenda. The hosts and geographical distribution of the current members of the genus are reviewed. The paper is supplemented by a key for the identification of the species parasitic in fishes of North and Central America.

AbstractThe North and Central American species formerly placed in the genus Mycetoporus are revised. Two genera are recognized, Mycetoporus Mannerheim and Ischnosoma Stephens, each with 18 species. The morphological and historical basis for this division is discussed. Ten species of Mycetoporus are described as new: bipunctatu, floridensis, impunctatus, neomexicanus, nidicola, pacificus, rufohumeralis, segregatus, smetanai, and triangulatus. Ten species of Ischnosoma are described as new: arizonense, ashei, costale, durangoense, fimbriatum, hermani, lecontei, mexicanum, pecki, and suteri. Mycetoporus boreelus J. Sahlberg, a species restricted to the Palearctic region, is removed from synonymy with M. nigrans Mäklin and Mycetoporus insignis Mäklin is found to be a junior synonym of M. americanus Erichson. Mycetoporus discalis, M. punctatissimus, and M. punctulatus, all species described by Hatch (1957), are transferred to the genus Bryoporus subgenus Bryophacis and the name Tachinus humidus Say is treated as a nomen dubium in the genus Mycetoporus.The usage of the generic names Mycetoporus Mannerheim and Ischnosoma Stephens is discussed. The North American species of the genus Mycetoporus are placed in six species groups and those of the genus Ischnosoma are placed in four species groups.A neotype is designated for Mycetoporus nigrans Mäklin and lectotypes are designated for M. americanus Erichson, M. insignis Mäklin, M. tenuis Horn, M. lucidulus LeConte, M. consors LeConte, Ischnosoma pictum (Horn) and I. flavicolle (LeConte). The following species were transferred from Mycetoporus to Ischnosoma and are new combinations: pictum Horn, splendidum Gravenhorst, flavicolle LeConte, virginiense Bernhauer, coxale Sharp, hospitale Fall, californicum Bernhauer and Schubert, and curtipenne Bernhauer.All genera, species groups, and species are described and the species are illustrated with line drawings and scanning electron photomicrographs. Keys are provided to distinguish the genera Mycetoporus and Ischnosoma and for all the species in each genus. The New World distribution of each species is mapped. The biology of each species, if known, is discussed.

AbstractThe species and genera of the family Trogositidae in America north of Mexico are revised. Two subfamilies are recognized: Peltinae and Trogositinae. The Peltinae include: Calitys Thomson (2 species), Eronyxa Reitter (3 species), Ostoma Laicharting (3 species), Grynocharis Thomson (2 species), Lophocateres Olliff (1 species), and Thymalus Latreille (1 species). The Trogositinae include: Nemosoma Latreille (5 species), Cylidrella Sharp (1 species), Corticotomus Sharp (6 species), Euschaefferia Leng (2 species), Airora Reitter (3 species), Temnochila Westwood (10 species), and Tenebroides Piller and Mitterpacher (18 species). Pseudocotomus Schaeffer is placed in synonymy with Euschaefferia Leng and Parafilumis Casey with Corticotomus Sharp. New species are Temnochila omolopha from Arizona and New Mexico and Temnochila rhyssa from California and Idaho. Synonymies, keys, descriptions, collecting and locality data, and illustrations are included. A checklist places all the species and genera in the proposed classification. Interpretation of relationships of the genera and species is included. The North American taxa are associated with the trogositid taxa from other parts of the world, and with groups within the other families of Cleroidea. Relationships among the taxa are postulated. The inclusion of peltines and trogositines in a single family is upheld.

AbstractA new species Clepsis (Siclobola) firthana is described from the northern Yukon Territory, Canada. Morphologically this species is closely related to the European C. strigana (Hübner) and the North American C. clemensiana (Fernald). Genitalic characters are given to distinguish C. firthana from the North American C. kearfotti Obraztsov and C. moeschleriana (Wocke) (which have similar markings), and C. clemensiana (Fernald).
