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.

AbstractMorphological, life history, and distributional data are presented for North American species of the subgenus Allomomonia Cook, 1968. Adults of Stygomomonia (Allomomonia) moodyi Mitchell are redescribed, and deutonymphs and adults of four new species, S. (A.) pacifica, S. (A.) mendocinoensis, S. (A.) mitchelli, and S. (A.) atnarkicola, are described for the first time. Larvae tentatively identified as S. (A.) mitchelli are also described, and host associations of these, and larvae that appear to belong to other species of Stygomomonia, are presented and discussed. New distributional data are presented for all species. A new diagnosis of Allomomonia is proposed, two new species groups, the moodyi and mitchelli groups, are proposed and diagnosed, and a key to adults of North American species of the subgenus is included.

AbstractMorphological, life history, and distributional data are presented for North American species of the subgenus Stygomomonia (sensu stricto) Szalay, 1943. Adults of the seven previously recognized species are redescribed, and deutonymphs of five of these species are described for the first time. Two species, S. (s.s.) neomexicana Cook and S. (s.s.) occidentalis Cook are substantially revised on the basis of an examination of the types and extensive series of newly collected specimens. Three new species are described, S. (s.s.) californiensis on the basis of deutonymphs and adults, and S. (s.s.) imamurai and S. (s.s.) cooki on the basis of adults. A new diagnosis of the subgenus is proposed and discussed, the relationships of the various species are discussed, and a key to deutonymphs and adults of North American species is presented. New distributional data are presented for all species, and dispersal patterns from Pleistocene refugia are discussed.

Generic Relationships

The systematic position of the genus Massalongia and the closely related genera Koerberia, Vestergrenopsis, and Placynthium in the family Peltigeraceae including lichens with hemiangiocarpic apothecia is discussed. The ontogeny of a hemiangiocarpic apothecium is described briefly. A key for the determination of the genera is provided.A general survey is given for the morphology and anatomy of the genus Massalongia. The two species, M. carnosa and M. microphylliza, are described in detail. The new combination M. microphylliza is made.

All macropterous species of Aptilotus Mik are keyed, with descriptions of two new macropterous North American species, Aptilotus pogophallus and A. nigriphallus. New distributional records are given for other North American species, and brachyptery is noted for the first time in A. luctuosus (Spuler). Four new macropterous species of Aptilotus (glabrifrons, spinistylus, rufiscapus, and binotatus are described from Nepal. The relationships between the North American and Nepalese species are discussed. Minocellina Papp is synonomized with Aptilotus, and the two species formerly in Minocellina, A. thaii (Papp) and A. besucheti (Papp), are thus given as new combinations. Limosina carbonicolor Richards, from Ethiopia, is redescribed and transferred to Aptilotus.

AbstractThe Elachista tetragonella group is redefined, its limits extended to include the genus Biselachista Traugott-Olsen & Nielsen, 1977. The North American species of the tetragonella group are described and illustrated, and a key is given to the males. 19 species are recognized in the Nearctic region, including 12 new species: Elachista pyrrha (Alberta), E. absaroka (Wyoming), E. calusella (Florida), E. beothucella (Newfoundland), E. glenni (Illinois), E. cerasella (Nebraska), E. serra (Labrador), E. huron (Quebec), E. vinlandica (Newfoundland), E. ciliiyera (Mississippi), E. lenape (New Jersey) and E. pelaena (California). The male of E. inaudita Braun and the female of E. leucosticta Braun are described for the first time. Elachista eleochariella Stainton and E. albidella Nylander (= E. tanyopis Meyrick, syn. n.) are recognized as Holarctic species.

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.
