Three New Species

AbstractThree new species are described in the caddisfly family Uenoidae: Neothremma prolata, from Hood River County, Oregon; Neothremma mucronata from Lassen County, California; and Farula constricta from Multnomah County, Oregon. Following examination of the holotypes of several species, misinterpretation of the male genitalia morphology of Farula wigginsi Denning is corrected, leading to the recognition of that name as a junior synonym of F. petersoni Denning. Interpretation of male genitalic morphology in the original description of F. geyseri Denning is revised. Phylogenetic relationships are inferred from male genitalic morphology for the species of Neothremma and Farula. Biogeographic patterns of the species in both genera are highly congruent with the phylogenies.

Three New Species

Three North American species ofLatalusand four ofQuontuswere listed by Oman (1999). Two of these are conspecific with a third and three new species are described below. Two of the previously described species have not been found in Canada and are not discussed here. They areDeltocephalus latidensSanders and DeLong (1919, p. 234) andLatalus uncinatusBeamer and Tuthill (1934, p. 6). They are distinguished by genitalic characters described in the original descriptions.QuontusOman (1949) is treated here as a synonym ofLatalusDeLong and Sleesman (1929), as the distinctions given by Oman (1949) intergrade and do not always hold good. Canadian species ofLatalusapparently inhabit grasslands. The best specific characters are in the internal male genitalia, though the female seventh sternite shows valid characters in some species.

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.

Orbitolina daviesi Hofker, 1966 (family Orbitolinidae) was validly described and thoroughly illustrated from Thanetian limestones of Pakistan. Although its attribution to the genus Orbitolina d’Orbigny and any phylogenetic relationships with the Cretaceous taxa have been refuted shortly afterwards, the species has not been taxonomically revised since then. Karsella hottingeri Sirel, 1999 was established as new genus and new species from the Thanetian of Turkey, without taking into account J. Hofker’s publication. The original description and genus diagnosis of Karsella has meanwhile been emended to include the occurrence of a radial zone with septula that follow a zig-zag pattern and associated linear arrangement of the foramina, as well as a complex embryo. Orbitolina daviesi clearly displays these features and is here considered a species of the genus Karsella Sirel. Karsella hottingeri is regarded as a subjective junior synonym of O. daviesi Hofker and therefore, the only species of the genus is given as a new combination: Karsella daviesi (Hofker). From a suprageneric viewpoint, the two Paleogene genera Karsella Sirel and Cushmania Silvestri display a complex embryo and might belong to a new subfamily of the Orbitolinidae, phylogenetically different and unrelated to the lower-mid Cretaceous Orbitolininae.

The North

The present sunmary of Gonia sens. lat. is made necessary because of a large number of undescribcd species recently segregated in the Canadian National Collection and by Dr. H. J. Reinhard. The group covered is the same as that summarized by Tothil (1924) and Morrison (1940), the latter work containing all records of species up until 1940 and with illustrations of the male genitalia of each species. It becomes only necessary then to present descriptions of new species and to fit all species into their proper restricted genera (in Townsend's sense): a key to all described North American species and illustrations of the new species are included.

Taxonomic Studies

Taxonomic evidence of 17 species of Eudorylini occurring in the extra-European part of the Palaearctic and/or in the Oriental Region is presented. Among the material, three new taxa are described as new to science: Claraeola perpaucisquamosa Kehlmaier spec. nov. from China, Dasydorylas gradus Kehlmaier spec. nov. from Israel and Eudorylas bipertitus Kehlmaier spec. nov. from Israel. Lectotypes for Pipunculus nitidifrons Becker, 1900 and Pipunculus oppletus Collin, 1941 are designated. Two new synonymies are proposed [syn. nov.]: Pipunculus confusoides Lamb, 1922 as junior synonym of P. nitidifrons Becker, 1900 and Claraeola koreana Skevington, 2001 as junior synonym of P. oppletus Collin, 1941. Furthermore, the following new generic combinations are introduced (partly redescribed and figured) [comb. nov.]: Claraeola colossus (Hardy, 1972), Claraeola conjuncta (Collin, 1949), Claraeola discors (Hardy, 1966), Claraeola koreana (Kozánek & Kwon, 1991), Claraeola oppleta (Collin, 1941), Claraeola palgongsana (Kozánek, Suh & Kwon, 2003), Claraeola robusta (Kozánek, Suh & Kwon, 2003), Clistoabdominalis nitidifrons (Becker, 1900), Clistoabdominalis sinaiensis (De Meyer, 1995), Clistoabdominalis subruralis (Kozánek & Kwon, 1991), Clistoabdominalis uniformis (Brunetti, 1917), Clistoabdominalis uzbekistanus (Kozánek, 1988). A replacement name had to be selected for Claraeola koreana Skevington, 2001: 435 [Preocc. Kozánek & Kwon, 1991a]: Claraeola paektusana Kehlmaier, 2005 nom. nov.. Also, the male of Eudorylas mongolorum Kuznetzov, 1990 is redescribed and its genitalia figured, as are the male genitalia of Claraeola adventitia (Kertész, 1912).

AbstractThe Nearctic species of Lonchoptera Meigen are reviewed, including three new species: L. barberi Klymko sp. nov. from Manitoba, Newfoundland, Ontario, Quebec, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, and New Hampshire, L. megaloba Klymko sp. nov. from British Columbia and California, and L. longiphallus Klymko sp. nov. from British Columbia and the Northwest Territories. Lonchoptera borealis Curran is proposed as a new junior synonym of L. impicta Zetterstedt, and L. occidentalis Curran is proposed as a new junior synonym of L. uniseta Curran. Lonchoptera nigrociliata Duda, formerly known only from the Palaearctic Region, is recorded from the Yukon and Alaska. Descriptions, a key, and Nearctic distribution maps are presented. Phylogenetic relationships are briefly discussed and two sister species pairs are documented.

Adequate Analysis

AbstractThe large and complex genus Euxoa is divided into six subgenera: Orosagrotis, Longivesica, Euxoa, Chorizagrotis, Pleonectopoda, and Crassivesica. Orosagrotis and Chorizagrotis have until now been considered as valid noctuid genera by many workers. Longivesica and Crassivesica are here described as new. The taxonomy and distribution of North American species in all subgenera except the very extensive subgenus Euxoa are considered in the present paper. Only 49 species in a probable North American Euxoa fauna of some 200 species are included in the five subgenera reviewed here, however.Within the genus, species have been segregated into subgenera and species groups largely on the basis of the structure of the male genitalia, and particularly on the conformation of the vesica of the male. Keys to subgenera, species groups, and species are presented. No new species are described. Subspecies are not formally considered because an adequate analysis of the often complex geographic variation is beyond the scope of this paper.

Three new species of Botryotinia on Caltha palustris L., Ranunculus septentrionalis Poir., and Ficaria verna Huds. (Ranunculaceae) are described as B. calthae Hennebert and Elliott, B. ranunculi Hennebert and Groves, and B. ficariarum Hennebert. Each of the three species has a Botrytis state of the B. cinerea complex, and they thus constitute additions to the species already segregated from that complex, i.e. Botryotinia fuckeliana, B. convoluta, B. draytoni, and B. pelargonii. The Botrytis state of B. ficariarum can be distinguished morphologically.While B. ranunculi is a North American species and B. ficariarum an European one, B. calthae is reported from both continents.

The morphology, cytology, distribution, and phylogeny of eight species of the southwestern United States closely related to Cirsium arizonicum are considered. These species form a natural group distinguished from other North American species of Cirsium by a short stigma (1–3 mm) and long corolla lobes (10–20 mm) which are longer than the corolla throat. Three new species described are C. chellyense, C. chuskaense, and C. navajoense. Original chromosome counts are presented for C. nidulum, 2n = 34; C. rothrockii, 2n = 30; C. arizonicum, n = 15; C. chuskaense, 2n = 34; and C. arizonicum × nidulum, 2n = 32, 34.
