A New Species

The following is a description of a new species of leafhopper from Eastern Canada of the subgenus Cloanthanus of the genus Scaphytopius. A key to the known Canadian species of Cloanthanus is included. Two of these species, angustatus (Osb.) and argutus DeL., do not appear to have been recorded previously for Canada. The key is based primarily on structures of the male genitalia, as these show the most reliable specific characters. External characters of colour, markings, and structure are often unreliable, because of the variation that occurs. There is occasionally some variation in the genitalic characters, notably in the degrees of curvature of the paraphyses, but the general shape of each structure is sufficiently constant to provide reliable specific characters. This subgenus, which was revised by Hepner (1947), is poorly represented in Canada, as the majority of the species have southerly distributions in North America. The common Canadian species is acutus (Say), followed by latus (Baker); the remaining species are more restricted in their ranges and distributions in Canada.

A New Species

A new species, Agaporomorphus colberti Miller and Wheeler, sp. n., is described from specimens from Departamento Amazonas, Venezuela. The new species belongs to the A. knischi Zimmermann species group based on the common presence of a pair of series of fine setae on the dorsal surface of the male median lobe of the aedeagus. Within this group, A. colberti sp. n. is sister to A. knischi and is united with that species based on broadly expanded antennomeres V and VI in the male and other general shape features of the male genitalia. An updated phylogenetic analysis of the genus is provided and the A. knischi species group is briefly reviewed with male genitalia and other relevant features illustrated.

A New Species

From a study of living materials and specimens in several regional herbaria, a list has been drawn up of all the common and several of the rarer tube-dwelling diatoms of eastern Canada. Descriptions, illustrations of living material and acid-cleaned valves, and a key to the species are provided. Most specimens were from the Atlantic Provinces and the St. Lawrence estuary, but a few were from the Northwest Territories. By far the most common species is Berkeleya rutilans. Other species occurring commonly in the Quoddy Region of the Bay of Fundy, and sporadically in space and time elsewhere, arc Navicula delognei (two forms), Nav. pseudocomoides, Nav. smithii, Haslea crucigera, and a new species, Nav.rusticensis. Navicula ramosissima and Nav. mollis in eastern Canada are usually found as scattered cohabitants in tubes of other species. Nitzschia tubicola and Nz. fontifuga also occur sporadically as cohabitants.

AbstractLyctocoris canadensis new species is described from southwestern Quebec. The other species of Lyctocoris known to occur in North America are L. campestris (Fabricius), L. doris Van Duzee, L. elongatus (Reuter), L. mexicanus Kelton, L. okanaganus Kelton & Anderson, L. rostratus Kelton & Anderson, L. stalii (Reuter), and L. tuberosus Kelton & Anderson. Species are keyed, known information on their ecology is given, and male genitalia and female abdominal segments are illustrated.

Male Genital

Recent study of the male genitalia in the Miridae (Kelton, 1959) showed that the Palearctic Stenodema virens (L.) does not occur in North America. The six other species that have been reported in the North American literature are: dorsolis (Say), vicinum (Prov.), trispinosum Reut., sequoiae Bliven, falki Bliven, and imperii Bliven. The three species described by Bliven (1955, 1958) were not available to me for study, however, Bliven (1960) has recently published a paper containing figures of the male genital claspers of these species. These appear to differ considerably from those of virens, vicinum and trispinosum as well as amongst themselves.

Genetic Experiment

The present study is the result of combining genetics with taxonomy in the investigation of a polymorphic group of wild plants. It shows a degree of multiformity which was hitherto unsuspected in the genus. All the early genetical work on Oenothera was done with species which had been naturalized in Europe and whose North American home was unknown. Later, de vries (1913) introduced various American forms into cultivation and used them in genetic experiment, but without full taxonomic descriptions. Bartlett was mainly concerned in describing about twenty-five new species from wild plants of eastern North America brought into cultivation, and the present writer has previously described five, all but one of them from Eastern Canada. Professional taxonomists have paid little attention to the Onagra section of the genus except for the occasional description of a new species from western North America, and the whole number of species now recognized and described is about 70, not counting the 17 new species and 15 new varieties described in the present paper. The reason for the neglect of the taxonomists, even after the mutation work concentrated a great deal of attention on the genus, was no doubt the difficulty that many of the characters are not well shown in ordinary herbarium material. Indeed, cultures are necessary in order to study adequately the characters of these forms ; but, on the other hand, species once clearly delimited in this way can be recognized in the field, at least when well-developed plants are available, and frequently from the rosette stage alone.

A New Species

The common European cerambycid Leiopus nebulosus (Linnaeus, 1758) is herein split into two sibling species. The male genitalia characters, as well as spermathecae in females, were examined and found to provide strong support for this separation. A new species, Leiopus linnei sp. nov., is based on specimens mainly from Scandinavia. The establishment of the new species is supported by DNA barcoding of Scandinavian specimens of L. nebulosus, L. linnei sp. nov., and L. punctulatus (Paykull, 1800). There are significant genetic differences between all these species. The geographical distribution and the bionomy of L. nebulosus and L. linnei sp. nov. are described. The type of Cerambyx nebulosus Linnaeus, 1758 is lost. A neotype of Cerambyx nebulosus, currently Leiopus nebulosus (Linnaeus, 1758), is designated and a redescription of L. nebulosus is presented. A key for the identification of L. nebulosus and L. linnei sp. nov. is provided. The varieties L. nebulosus var. dissimilis Pic, 1889, L. nebulosus var. unifasciatus Pic, 1891, and L. nebulosus var. siculus Pic, 1924 are considered as junior synonyms, syn.nov. of L. nebulosus.

The Palaearctic species of the genus Trichardis Hermann, 1906 are reviewed. A new species, T. lehri sp. nov., is described. A new synonymy is established: T. leucocoma (van der Wulp, 1899) = T. afanasievae Lehr, 1964, syn. nov. The male of T. mongolica V. Richter, 1972 is described for the first time. External features and the male genitalia of T. lehri sp. nov., T. leucocoma (van der Wulp, 1899) and T. mongolica V. Richter, 1972 are illustrated with photographs.
