AbstractSeven species of Nabicula Kirby occur in Canada: N. americolimbata (Carayon), N. flavomarginata (Scholtz), N. limbata (Dahlbom), N. nigrovittata nearctica (Kerzhner), N. propinqua (Reuter), N. subcoleoptrata Kirby, and N. vanduzeei (Kirkaldy), of which N. limbata is officially recorded for the first time for North America. A faunistic review of the species, key to all taxa, generic diagnosis, and characters distinguishing male and female last-instar nymphs are presented. As appropriate for each species, die following are provided: synonymy, description of adult, wing polymorphism, taxonomic comments, detailed geographical distribution, bioecology, and illustration of important structural characters and nymphal instars. The last-instar nymphs of N. americolimbata, N. nigrovittata nearctica, N. propinqua, N. subcoleoptrata, and N. vanduzeei are described and illustrated for the first time. The biogeography of Nabicula is considered with regard to species diversity patterns, ecological assemblages, species distribution patterns, and relationships between macroptery and geographical distribution.

A New Species

The geographical distribution patterns ofChrysoteuchiaHübner in China are analysed with MaxEnt and ArcGIS based on known localities and nineteen environmental variables. The results suggest that southeastern China is a highly suitable area, and Bio11 (mean temperature of the coldest quarter), Bio12 (annual precipitation) and Bio18 (precipitation of the warmest quarter) are revealed to be the main variables affecting the present distribution patterns. Among them, Bio18 is the strongest predictor with a 24.3% contribution. Furthermore, a new species from Tibet is added to the genus,Chrysoteuchialandryisp. nov., and the male ofC.curvicavusis described for the first time. Images of adults and their genitalia are illustrated, and two maps showing the geographical distribution patterns ofChrysoteuchiain China are provided.

AbstractThe Eurasian nabid Himacerus apterus (Fabricius) is reported for the first time for North America. Several individuals have been collected between 1943 and 1989 in eastern Nova Scotia. Generic and specific diagnoses are given, and the genus is inserted in Slater and Baranowski’s (1978) key to the genera of North American Nabidae. The geographical distribution and bionomics of the species are briefly discussed.

A review and cladistic analysis of the genus Ptychoderes Schoenherr, 1823 is presented. The genus and the following seventeen known species are redescribed: P. nebulosus (Olivier, 1795) (type species), P. elongatus (Germar, 1824), P. viridanus Boheman, 1833, P. virgatus Fåhraeus, 1839, P. obsoletus Jekel, 1855, P. depressus Jekel, 1855, P. mixtus Jekel, 1855, P. callosus Jekel, 1855, P. antiquus Jekel, 1855, P. brevis Jordan, 1894, P. longicollis Jordan, 1894, P. bivittatus Jordan, 1894, P. rugicollis Jordan, 1895, P. jordani Frieser, 1959, P. crustatus Frieser, 1988, P. magnus Mermudes & Napp, 2004 and P. jekeli Mermudes & Napp, 2004. New synonyms are proposed: Ptychoderes nebulosus (Olivier, 1795) = Ptychoderes tricostifrons Fåhraeus, 1839 syn. nov. = Ptychoderes columbianus Jekel, 1855 syn. nov.; and Ptychoderes antiquus Jekel, 1855 = Ptychoderes affinis Jordan, 1894 syn. nov. A key to species and maps of their geographical distribution are provided. The cladistic analysis with 24 taxa and 50 characters from body vestiture, external morphology, wing venation, male and female terminalia and rectal loop, resulted in a single cladogram showing, for the first time, a hypothesis of phylogenetic relationship  among genera of Anthribinae. The analysis included the seventeen species of Ptychoderes, as defined in the taxonomic review, along with the type species of the genera presently considered as belonging to Ptychoderini Jekel, 1855: Cerambyrhynchus schoenherri Montrouzier, 1855, Phloepemon acuticornis (Fabricius), Phloeotragus heros (Fabricius), Tribotropis prasinata (Fåhraeus, 1839), Hypselotropis annulicornis (Fåhraeus, 1839) and Unanthribus maximus Mermudes, 2003. A hypothesis of the phylogenetic relationships among the Neotropical genera of Ptychoderini is presented in parenthetical notation: ((Tribotropis + Hypselotropis) (Unanthribus + Ptychoderes)). The monophyly of Ptychoderes is supported by 14 synapomorphies and its interrelationships are as follows: ((P. crustatus (P. brevis + P. jekeli)) ((P. longicollis (P. jordani (P. obsoletus+P. magnus) (P. depressus+P. virgatus))) (P. mixtus (P. bivittatus ((P. callosus+P. rugicollis) (P. viridanus (P. antiquus (P. elongatus+P. nebulosus)))))))).

The lungworm nematode Varestrongylus alpenae (Dikmans, 1935) Dougherty, 1945 is reported in Canada for the first time. Dorsal-spined, first-stage nematode larvae were found in 19% of 1098 fecal pellet groups of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) randomly collected in central and eastern Saskatchewan. These larvae developed to the infective stage, experimentally, in the gastropods Triodopsis albolabris and Triodopsis multilineata and were infective to captive mule deer (Odocoileus h. hemionus) and white-tailed deer fawns. All of four mule deer and two of three white-tailed deer developed patent infections (mule deer in 43–49 days and white-tailed deer in 54–55 days). Adults nematodes, identified as Varestrongylus alpenae, were recovered from the lung parenchyma of two mule deer. The geographical distribution of V. alpenae in white-tailed deer in North America is discussed.

The ant fauna of state of Acre, Brazilian Amazon, is poorly known. The aim of this study was to compile the species sampled in different areas in the State of Acre. An inventory was carried out in pristine forest in the municipality of Xapuri. This list was complemented with the information of a previous inventory carried out in a forest fragment in the municipality of Senador Guiomard and with a list of species deposited at the Entomological Collection of National Institute of Amazonian Research– INPA. The resulting list covered 268 species distributed in 52 genera and nine subfamilies, and records 23 species and four morphospecies for the first time in the state of Acre. Due to the large environmental heterogeneity, future inventories will be crucial to properly describe and understand ant species distribution patterns in southwestern Amazon.

AbstractMorphological and distributional data are presented for the North American species of the genera Phreatobrachypoda Cook, 1963 and Bharatalbia Cook, 1967. These mites live in gravel deposits associated with riffle areas and the hyporheic zone of streams. Female adults of Phreatobrachypoda multlpora Cook are redescribed, and males of this species are described for the first time. Adults of P. robusta Cook and P. acuta Habeeb are redescribed, and males and females of these two species are correctly correlated for the first time. Male and female adults of two new species of Phreatobrachypoda are described. The male mite described as Japonaxonopsis nuiakiensis Imamura is reassigned to Phreatobrachypoda, and the name Japonaxonopsis becomes a junior synonym of Phreatobrachypoda. Two subgenera, Phreatobrachypoda (s.s.) and Ameribrachypoda subgen.nov., are proposed and diagnosed based on the morphology of the dorsal shield, genital field, and fourth pair of legs of males. A key to known species of die genus is presented. Male and female adults of two new species of Bharatalbia (Japnnalbia) are described, and the deutonymph of one of these species is correlated with adults and described. This is the first reported occurrence of this genus in North America.All North American species of Phreatobrachypoda and Bharatalbia inhabit coastal areas in Oregon and California. The highly disjunct distributions of these genera suggest that species of both were widespread throughout western North America and eastern Eurasia during the Tertiary Era, but survived the Pleistocene only in isolated temperate refugia well beyond the southern limit of glaciers.
