The name Linnaemya has been used in America and to a lesser extent in Europe for a collection of rather distinct elements linked together by the following characters:Large robust forms, 8-15 mm. long; eyes densely haired; antennae large, the third segment truncate at the tip; second aristal segment somewhat elongate; palpi reduced in length, as long as the second antennal segment or reduced to mere papillae; epistoma strongly warped forward, the antennal and oral margin axes about the same length; bend of the fourth vein with a strong appendage, the apical cell open far before the wing tip; abdomen stout, bearing at least one pair of discal bristles on the intermediate segments.

AbstractNorth American Ips of Group II (Hopping, 196îb) are I. emarginatus (Leconre) and I. knattsi Swaine. They are the only Ips having the third declivital spine emarginate ar the tip. They breed in various species of pine. The distribution of I. emarginatus is from southern British Columbia to California and eastward to Montana. I. knausi is found in Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. A key to the species is given. I. plastographus (Leconte) is the sole representative of Group III. It is the only four-spined Ips with the sutures of the autennal club strongly angled at the middle. I. plastographus breeds in species of pine. It occurs from southern British Columbia southward in the western United States and through Mexico into Guatemala. Hosts and more detailed distributions are given for species in Groups IT and III.

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.

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.

While investigating the biology of the North American species of Hypomolyx, field workers in Manitoba found a vestigial, or short-winged, and a long-winged form under apparently identical conditions in about equal numbers. Although biological differences were nor then apparent, there was doubt as to whether they were dealing with one dimorphic species or with two distinct species, A search for morphological characters brought to light numerous differences between the two forms, supporting the view that two species were present. These differences, a description the previously unrecognized species, and notes concerning the status of the genera Hylobius and Hypomolyx are reported below.
