In a collection of Mecoptera belonging to the Canadian National Museum and sent to me for determination by Dr. McDunnough, I was much surprised to find several specimens of an undescribed species of Boreus. In as much as new species of North American Mecoptera are now rarely encountered and especially since this particular species is a most unusual one, I consider it justifiable to devote a separate paper to the description of this insect.

During the course of an extensive survey of Coleoptera from tropical southern Florida, a specimen of the exclusively Neotropical genus Dryocoetoides was found in flight intercept traps (Atkinson and Peck, 1994; Peck, 1989).  Over the intervening years I have had the opportunity to compare the specimen with material in the U.S. National Museum  and in the S. L. Wood collection (recently transferred to the USNM).   Wood's ( 2007) recent monograph of the South American species of Scolytinae included a key to all the known species of the genus, not only those known from South America.  Based on that key and included descriptions I was able narrow down the possibilities and to borrow selected Schedl types from the Naturhistorisches Museum Wien.  As a result, I have reached the conclusion that this specimen represents an undescribed species.  It is described here to make the name available for a regional monograph of the bark and ambrosia beetles of the southeastern U.S. (Atkinson, in prep.).

A New Species

Checking some North American genera of bark-beetles I found a series of Alniphagus Sw. which does not agree with the common species Alniphagus aspericollis from California and British Columbia and doubtless represents a new species. The genus therefore comprises now three distinct species, Alniphagus alni Nijs. from Japan and the Far East, A. aspericollis from British Columbia down to California and the new species A. hirsutus from Alnus sitchensis in B.C.

A New Species

Parastenocaris brevipes Kessler is redescribed and its presence in North America is established through comparison of specimens from the U.S.A., Finland, and Germany. Parastenocaris wilsoni Borutskii, Parastenocaris starretti Pennak, Parastenocaris biwae Miura, and Parastenocaris sp. 2 Strayer (Strayer, D.L. 1988. Stygologia, 4: 279–291.) are assigned to the synonymy of P. brevipes. Biwaecaris Jakobi is a synonym of Parastenocaris Kessler. Some North American records of P. brevipes or P. starretti refer in fact to P. brevipes, other records to a presently undescribed species. Newly verified records of P. brevipes include Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New York, Virginia, and Wisconsin in the U.S.A., and Lake Biwa, Japan. Parastenocaris trichelata, new species, is described from Virginia, U.S.A. The taxon is distinguished in both sexes by the combination of the long slender caudal ramus with all setae inserted in the distal half and by the medial spine of the leg 1 basipodite, and in the male by the leg 4 with slender hyaline endopodite and 3 spines on the basipodite medial to the endopodite. The new species little resembles any known North American parastenocaridid, nor is it assignable to any presently defined species-group in the genus.

Massive Upper Triassic (Norian) reef limestone at Eaglenest Mountain, Takla Group, British Columbia, contains a wide variety of shallow-water fossils in two different carbonate units. A sponge-coral facies contains the spongesFanthalamia astoma(Seilacher, 1962),Fanthalamia multicanalisnew species,Cinnabaria expansa(Seilacher, 1962), andCinnabaria? sp.Cinnabaria expansais a widely distributed North American terrane species which, along withF. astoma,was previously known from the Luning Formation of Nevada. Also included is the “disjectoporoid,”Pamiropora sonorensisStanley, 1994, and a massive spongiomorph,Spongiomorpha tenuisSmith, 1927, previously endemic to the Eastern Klamath terrane of California. Colonial corals include:Retiophyllia quesneliananew species,Chondrocoenia waltheri(Frech, 1890),Crassistellacf.juvavica(Frech, 1890),Distichomeandracf.austriaca(Frech, 1890), andAlpinophyllia flexuosaRoniewicz, 1989. A limestone conglomerate overlying these beds is dominated almost exclusively by the planktonic hydrozoan,Heterastridium conglobatumReuss, 1865. A problematic taxonLovceniporacf.chaetetiformisVinassa de Regny, 1915, is reported for the first time outside Timor and the Tethys. The faunas provide a first glimpse into the reef biota of the Quesnel terrane. They contain taxa previously known from the distant Tethys but also include endemics from other inboard terranes.

The Pericyclidae are distinctive ancestral (middle Tournaisian-lower Viséan) Goniatitina characterized by prominent transverse sculpture. Ancestry of the group was inGoniocyclusGordon, 1986 (type species,Goniatites blairiMiller and Gurley, 1896). These diminutive (generally less than 35 mm), coarsely ribbed pericyclids are distinguished by sharply angular ventral sinuses and sutures with primitive, incipiently bifid ventral lobes.Goniocycluscharacterizes the late Kinderhookian (late middle Tournaisian)Siphonodella isosticha—UpperSiphonodella crenulataconodont Zone where it is represented by at least six distinctive species in the North American Cordillera and Midcontinent (Gordon, 1986). The earliest record, which extends the generic range back to the base of the traditional middle Tournaisian, is a widely discussed, but previously undescribed, species from the Hannibal Shale of Missouri (Work et al., 1988; Becker, 1993a, 1993b; Popov and Kusina, 1997) described herein asGoniocyclus hannibalensisnew species.

AbstractA reassessment of the taxonomic relationships of North American gigantopterids is presented in light of an examination of large populations of specimens housed in the US National Museum of Natural History. Variations in venation and subtle aspects of leaf shape facilitate refined understanding of the relationships and diversity of the North American gigantopterid species leading to an improved understanding of the taxonomic and biogeographic relationships of this group, which are found most abundantly in western equatorial Pangea and Cathaysia. Current literature suggests that there are eight North American genera, however, this study has revealed a morphological overlap of several previously defined genera, leading to the conclusion thatGigantopteridiumencompasses the species previously treated asCathaysiopteris yochelsoniias well as a new species,Gigantopteridium utebaturianum. The transfer ofC.yochelsoniitoGigantopteridium yochelsoniisuggests thatCathaysiopterismay represent a genus endemic to Cathaysia, limiting the biogeographical connection between the regions toZeilleropteris,Gigantopteridium,Euparyphoselis, andGigantonoclea.

The following new species of littoral enchytraeid are described from the east coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia—Enchytraeus cryptosetosus, Lumbricillus mirabilis, L. vancouverensis, L. georgiensis, L. qualicumensis, L. belli. These descriptions bring the number of North American Enchytraeus spp. to 6 and that of Lumbricillus spp. to 13. Existing evidence suggests that the enchytraeid fauna of the Pacific slope is quite distinct from that of the rest of North America and may have closer affinities with that of the northwest Pacific.
