AbstractThe species of Macroneura Walker are revised for America north of Mexico. Seven species are recognized, of which M. camptoptera, M. cerasma, M. chrysosinamora, and M. tanyaris are described as new; M. meteori (Gahan) is removed from synonymy with M. epicaste (Walker) and accorded specific status. Eupelmus melanderi Brues is synonymized with Eupelmus dryorhizoxeni Ashmead and the taxa are reassigned to Eupelmus Dalman from Macroneura. Diagnostic features are given to distinguish females and males of Macroneura from members of other eupelmine genera; putative phylogenetic relationships of Macroneura are discussed, and a key is presented to distinguish females and known males of the North American species.

The North American species of Trichoceridae belong to three genera, Diazosma Bergroth (subsinuata Alexander), Paracladura Brunetti (trichoptera Osten Sacken) and the dominant Trichocera Meigen, with numerous species, some of which are widely distributed throughout the Holarctic Region. The scope of the family, its phylogenetic relationships, and a key to the known genera, are all discussed in a recent paper by the writer. (The Trichoceridae of Australia; Proc. Linnean Soc. N. S. W., 51 : 299—304; 1926) and need not be considered further at this time.

Genus Level

Bayesian and parsimony phylogenetic analyses of combined and partitioned datasets of molecular (partial sequences of 28S, wg, COI, and CAD) and morphological (51 characters of adults) data for exemplar taxa of five outgroup and 76 ingroup abacetine carabids resulted in a monophyletic Loxandrina Erwin & Sims, 1984 that is split into Australian and American clades. The genus Loxandrus LeConte, 1853 as previously delimited is not monophyletic relative to numerous genus-level taxa in Abacetini Chaudoir, 1873 and is restricted to a subgenus of North American species. A reclassification and nomenclatural changes for the subtribe that are consistent with the phylogeny are provided. Three genera are removed from Loxandrina: Aulacopodus Britton, 1940 moved to Pterostichini Bonelli, 1810; Cosmodiscus Sloane, 1907 and Tiferonia Darlington, 1962 moved to Abacetina. Based on the phylogenetic relationships and nomenclatural priority only four genera are recognized in Loxandrina: Cerabilia Laporte, 1867, Zeodera Laporte, 1867, Pediomorphus Chaudoir, 1878, and Oxycrepis Reiche, 1843. All other previously recognized genera are treated as subgenera. The classification change created eight secondary homonyms that are resolved by the proposal of the following: Oxycrepis gebi, replacement name for O. balli (Straneo, 1993); O. amatona, replacement name for O. matoana (Straneo, 1993); O. xiproma, replacement name for O. proxima (Straneo, 1993); O. rasutulis, replacement name for O. suturalis (Straneo, 1993); O. laevinota, replacement name for O. laevicollis (Bates, 1871); O. arvulap, replacement name for O. parvula (Straneo, 1951); O. noaffine, replacement name for O. affinis (Straneo, 1991); O. alutona, replacement name for O. notula (Tschitschérine, 1901). An overview of the morphological characteristics and diagnostic features of Loxandrina taxa is provided. A key and habitus images are provided for identification of genera and subgenera. The possible historical biogeography of the group is discussed in light of their phylogenetic relationships and past geological events.

The genus Pseudocollinella Duda, 1924, treated by recent authors as part of the genus Opacifrons Duda, 1918, is redefined and revised for the Nearctic region. Pseudocollinella flavilabris (Hackman) and P. abhorrens (Roháček) are recorded from the Nearctic region for the first time. All of the above species, plus the North American species P. caelobata (Spuler), P. pellucida (Spuler), and P. sciaspidis (Spuler) and the European species P. septentrionalis (Stenhammar), P. humida (Haliday), P. jorlii (Carles-Tolrá), P. tunisica (Papp), and P. ochrea (Papp), are given as new combinations. Pseudocollinella aquilifrons Marshall, P. attractans Marshall, P. arctopellucida Marshall, P. boreosciaspidis Marshall, P. charlottensis Marshall, P. hirsutipellucida Marshall, P. parapellucida Marshall, P. parasciaspidis Marshall, and P. utapellucida Marshall are described as new. A key to all species is given and their phylogenetic relationships are discussed.

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.

As noted below the two North American species described in Syndipnus by workers appear to belong in other genrra. In Europe the gunus is represented by nearly a score of species and has been reviewed in recent years by two writers (1, 2). North American collections contain very few representatives of the genus; after combining the material in the National Collection with that from the United States National Museum, the latter kindly loaned to me by Mr. R. A. Cushman, only thirty-seven specimens are available for study.

The species of this genus have hairy eyes, unarmed tibiæ and a tufted thorax. The dorsum of the abdomen is more or less tufted, but in some species the tuftings are not noticeable. Several species which seem to me to belong to Graphiphora (Taeniocanpa) have been referred to this genus ; among these I may mention orobia of Harvey, modesta, incincta and thecata of Morrison, and the species described by me as rufula and puerilis.
