AbstractThe Nearctic species of the subgenus Anomophagus Reitter of the genus Rhizophagus Herbst are revised. Four taxa are recognized: R. brunneus brunneus Horn 1879, R. brunneus fenyesi Méquignon 1913a, R. pseudobrunneus sp.nov., and R. galbus sp.nov.For the other Nearctic species of the genus, a diagnosis, a type material section, and distributional notes are provided. Two new taxa are described, R. minutus rotundicollis and R. pusillus. Seven specific names are treated as new junior synonyms, namely (with the valid name in parentheses): R. longiceps Casey 1916 and R. rectus Casey 1916 (= R. cylindricus LeConte 1866); R. minutus quadriguttatus Méquignon 1913b (= R. minutus minutus Mmnerheim 1853); R. remotus luteus Méquignon 1913b (= R. remotus LeConte 1866); R. sculpturatus horni Méquignon 1913b (= R. sculpturatus Mannerheim 1852); R. dimidiatus testaceus Méquignon 1913b and R. dimidiatus assimilis Méquignon 1913b (= R. dimidiatus Mannerheim 1843). The subgenera name Syringobidia Casey 1916 (type species: R. cylindricus LeConte 1866) is treated as a new junior subjective synonym of Rhizophagus s.str. A key to all Nearctic species of Rhizophagus is provided with distribution maps of the species.

AbstractNorth American members of the Oreodyies alaskanus clade are revised. The species O. productotruncatus (Hatch) and O. recticollis (Fall) are recognized as valid and those names are removed from junior synonymy with O. alaskanus (Fall.). Oreodytes leechi Zimmerman is considered a new junior subjective synonym of O. recticollis. Lectotype designations are provided for O. alaskanus and O. recticollis. Palaearctic O. dauricus (Motschulsky) is included within the O. alaskanus clade whose members are characterized by the protibia having the inner margin sinuate and strongly narrowed proximally, Oreodytes kanoi Kamiya, from Japan, is suggested as the sister-group of members of the O. alaskanus clade based on the shared presence in the female of a last abdominal sternite with an emargination at the apex.

New distributional records, new larval host records, various collecting notes, and observations are reported for the North American species of the tribe Agallissini LeConte, 1873 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Cerambycinae): Agallissus lepturoides (Duponchel & Chevrolat, 1841), Osmopleura chamaeropis (Horn, 1893), and Zagymnus clerinus (LeConte, 1873). The species are illustrated and distribution maps are provided.

Sphagnum Bogs

The genus Scirites Bishop & Crosby (1938) is revised and now includes Scirites pectinatus (Emerton 1911) the type species, and Scirites finitimus n.sp. Diagnoses, descriptions, locality records, habitat information and distribution maps are given for both species. A morphological analysis places the genus in the distal erigonine clade of Miller & Hormiga (2004) and sister to (Tapinocyba (Ceratinops + Parapelecopsis). Scirites pectinatus is a widespread species occurring mostly north of the 40th parallel; S. finitimus has been collected from sphagnum bogs mostly in the Great Lakes region with a single isolated collection in Washington state.

Two new mayfly species (Tricorythodes mosequs n.sp. and T. cobbi n.sp.) are described from the Assiniboine River, Manitoba, Canada. Taxonomic knowledge of the North American species of the genus Tricorythodes is summarized. The type material of T. stygiatus McDunnough, T. atratus (McDunnough), and T. peridius Burks was studied and additional characteristics of these species are described. New drawings of the genitalia of these species are presented. Tricorythodes peridius and T. atratus are considered to be junior synonyms of T. allectus (Needham). A key to the imagines of Tricorythodes in Canada is included.

Sib Families

Forty selections, including 37 cultivars of Hamamelis spp., were evaluated for genetic similarities using randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. Cluster analysis identified seven groups, which included three groups of H. ×intermedia cultivars, two groups of H. vernalis, and one group each of H. mollis and H. japonica. Three H. ×intermedia cultivars, `Arnold Promise', `Westerstede', and `Carmine Red', did not group closely with the other 20 cultivars of H. ×intermedia. Selections of the North American species H. vernalis were quite distinct from the Asiatic selections. However, data are presented that suggest hybridization exist between Asiatic Hamamelis spp. and H. vernalis. Genetic similarities between known half-sib families provides evidence that the cultivar pairs `Arnold Promise'—`Winter Beauty' and `Carmine Red'—`Hiltingbury' are, themselves, not likely half-sibs.

The North American species of Limnocoris are revised and total 13 species after the present study. Four new species are described and illustrated: L. chaetocarinatus n. sp. from Costa Rica, Panama, and Colombia; L. major n. sp. and L. nanus n. sp. from Costa Rica and Panama; and L. zacki n. sp. from Mexico and Guatemala. Further, supplemental descriptions are provided for the previously described species. The following synonymies are proposed, with junior synonyms in brackets: L. insularis Champion [L. alcorni La Rivers n. syn.], L. pygmaeus La Rivers [L. solenoides La Rivers n. syn.], and L. signoreti Montandon [L. brailovskyi La Rivers n. syn., L. laucki La Rivers n. syn., L. stangei La Rivers n. syn.]. A lectotype is designated for L. signoreti. Limnocoris profundus (Say) is considered a nomen dubium because no type specimens have been found and the original description is insufficient to establish its identity. An illustrated taxonomic key, distribution maps, and a discussion of the characters (putative synapomorphies) not previously mentioned in the literature also are presented.

AbstractGroup VI of North American Ips contains I. perturbatus (Eichhoff), I. hunteri Swaine, I. utahensis Wood and I. woodi Thatcher. A key and descriptions of species are given. Members of this group have the third declivital spine capitate with the tip conical and acute. The front of the head is evenly convex except in females of I. utahensis which have the lower part of the frons faintly elevated. I. woodi breeds in pine while the other three species breed in spruce.

Spore Ultrastructure

Fresh specimens of Colostoma junghuhnii (Schl. & Müll.) Massee, collected in Nepal, are described. The ultrastructure of the basidiospore wall is compared with that in the three North American species of Colostoma. The spore wall of C. junghuhnii is ornamented with pyramidal warts; that of C. cinnabarina Desvaux, the type species of the genus, is pitted. The ultrastructure of the spore wall in the two species is similar. The distinctive stoma and other features distinguish C. junghuhnii from the other species of Colostoma but do not warrant recognition as a second genus in the Calostomataceae.
