The species of Rhaphium Mg. (s.l.) may be divided, for convenience, into two group—those with white-faced males and those with black-faced males. Since the North American species of the genus were last revised (Curran, 1926, 1927), 13 species belonging to the former group have been described. In this paper one species with black-faced males is described as new, one is recorded from the Nearctic region and one from Canada for the first rime, and one species with white-faced males is also recorded from Canada for the first time.

AbstractThe Elachista tetragonella group is redefined, its limits extended to include the genus Biselachista Traugott-Olsen & Nielsen, 1977. The North American species of the tetragonella group are described and illustrated, and a key is given to the males. 19 species are recognized in the Nearctic region, including 12 new species: Elachista pyrrha (Alberta), E. absaroka (Wyoming), E. calusella (Florida), E. beothucella (Newfoundland), E. glenni (Illinois), E. cerasella (Nebraska), E. serra (Labrador), E. huron (Quebec), E. vinlandica (Newfoundland), E. ciliiyera (Mississippi), E. lenape (New Jersey) and E. pelaena (California). The male of E. inaudita Braun and the female of E. leucosticta Braun are described for the first time. Elachista eleochariella Stainton and E. albidella Nylander (= E. tanyopis Meyrick, syn. n.) are recognized as Holarctic species.

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.

All macropterous species of Aptilotus Mik are keyed, with descriptions of two new macropterous North American species, Aptilotus pogophallus and A. nigriphallus. New distributional records are given for other North American species, and brachyptery is noted for the first time in A. luctuosus (Spuler). Four new macropterous species of Aptilotus (glabrifrons, spinistylus, rufiscapus, and binotatus are described from Nepal. The relationships between the North American and Nepalese species are discussed. Minocellina Papp is synonomized with Aptilotus, and the two species formerly in Minocellina, A. thaii (Papp) and A. besucheti (Papp), are thus given as new combinations. Limosina carbonicolor Richards, from Ethiopia, is redescribed and transferred to Aptilotus.

North American species of the genera Aspidoglossa Putzeys, Semiardistomis Kult and Ardistomis Putzeys, which constitute the subtribe Ardistomina in the tribe Clivinini, are reviewed. The five species are keyed, redescribed and notes are provided about their distribution and habitat requirements. Larval character states of the subtribe are described for the first time based on first instar of Semiardistomis viridis (Say). Illustrations of some of the most important morphological features as well as distribution maps are included. The species known as Ardistomis morio (Dejean) is redescribed from the holotype. Evidence is presented which establishes that this species does not belong to the genus Ardistomis, or to the subtribe Ardistomina, and that the sole specimen known was probably collected in the Neotropical Region, not in the Nearctic Region. The species is returned to the genus Clivina in which it was originally described.

AbstractFirst instars of 93 North American species of mosquitoes are studied and 56 are illustrated, 41 for the first time. Generic differences are well marked in this instar and nearly all species are separable.Two keys to the 11 North American genera are presented; the first is constructed to show similarities between first and later instars. Each genus is described and keyed to species, and notes are given on each species. A supplementary key to the species of the southeastern states is designed for the use of a binocular microscope with magnification up to 60 ×.Specific and generic differences are as well marked in the first as in the fourth instar. Identifications are as easy or as difficult in the first as in the fourth instar, though usually based on different characters.An expanded key to the North American species of Aedes, incorporating those previously treated by Bohart and by Price, is attempted. The key reveals several species complexes which have not been discerned from other stages of the life cycle, namely, Aedes canadensis, nigromaculis, punctor, stimulans infirmatus and trivittatus.A key to the first instars of the 37 species of the world-wide Anophelinae is presented, on the basis of published descriptions and figures of the exotic species.

The four North American species of Evernia, E. divaricata (L.) Ach., E. mesomorpha Nyl., E. perfragilis Llano, and E. prunastri (L.) Ach., are discussed from the standpoint of taxonomy, distribution, and ecology. The North American distributions of E. divaricata and E. perfragilis are mapped for the first time. A puzzling lichen found on the ground in alpine areas from New Mexico north to Alberta is regarded as an ecological variant of E. divaricata.

Agalinis Raf. consists approximately of 60 species, 14 of which occur in Brazil. The genus presents predominantly american distribution and the Brazilian species appears mainly in high areas of Minas Gerais. The North-American species are refered as hemiparasites, but there is no anatomical data about it in relation to the Brazilian species. Anatomical studies were conducted to verify whether the Agalinis species from Brazil were root parasites or not. The eight species analysed were presented haustoria which varied in shape, arrangement and size. They were generally elliptic or globose structures and mostly were tightly sticked to other roots in a solitary or clustered manner. The seriate sections of haustoria showed that there was a xylem connection between them and the roots in which they were attached. This fact has confirmed for the first time the occurrence of parasitism in the Brazilian species of Agalinis.

Naturalization of the North American species Prunus pensylvanica has been revealed in Novosibirsk for the first time. This species was introduced in the city in the middle of the last century. It naturally regenerates vegetatively in the area of landscape objects and in dedrological collections and gives self-seeding. In local conditions it is characterized by fast growth, short pregenerative period, presence of abundant uneven-aged progeny, high vegetative mobility, and local population-forming ability.

Abstract The description of a new species of an erymid lobster, Stenodactylina beardi, from the Upper Cretaceous Haslam Formation of the Nanaimo Group on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, brings to fifteen the number of Erymidae in North America. The species are arrayed within five genera based upon configuration of carapace groove morphology, resulting in two new combinations, Stenodactylina bordenensis (Copeland, 1960) and S. foersteri (Feldmann, 1979). The new species exhibits for the first time a male pleopod and accessory structures within Erymoidea. We also provide a list of the North American species of Erymoidea.

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.
