Work undertaken in connection with Mr. C. P. Kimball's projected list of Florida Lepidopera has revealed a number of problems in the North American species usually referred to Diasemia Hübner ([1824-25] p. 348), type Pyralis literalis Denis and Schiffermüller (=Phalaena litterata Scopoli) (Figs. 1, 2). A structural study shows that these species belong to five groups, generically distinct from one another and from the type species of Diasemia. Diasemia alaskalis Gibson (Fig. 3) is congeneric with Udea ferrugalis (Hübner) and should be known as Udea alaskalis (Gibson), new combination. I have characterized the genus Udea Guenée in an earlier paper (Munroe, 1950). Diasemia plumbosignalis Fernald (Fig. 10) and related species belong to the genus Choristostigma Warren, 1892: 440. The species of Choristostigma will be discussed in a separate publication. Diasemia magdalena Fernald and an undescribed species belong to the genus Daulia Walker (1859: 975) hitherto known from the tropics of the Old World and from Argentina. Hydrocampa ramburialis Duponchel and Desmia? janassialis Walker require new genera.

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.

AbstractThe tribe Coryphiini Hatch is redefined to include six genera and 18 species from North America. Two new genera are described: Gnathoryphium (type-species G. mandibulare n. sp.) and Holoboreaphilus (type-species Boreaphilus nordenskioeldi Maklin). Seven new species are described: Coryphium nigrum from the northeastern United States and Subhaida californica, S. aptera, S. monticola, S. utahensis, S. sinuata, and Gnathoryphium mandibulare from western North America. The genus Occiephelinus Hatch from western North America and Planeboreaphilus Shibata from Japan are considered junior synonyms of Coryphium Stephens. The western North American species formerly placed in Ephelinus Cockerell are transferred to the genus Coryphium. Pseudohaida ingrata Hatch is transferred to the genus Subhaida Hatch. Boreaphilus americanus Notman is placed in synonymy with B. henningianus C.R. Sahlberg.All genera and species are described. Habitus drawings, and line drawings of the antenna, labrum, maxilla, mandible, mentum, and labium are presented for at least one species of each genus. The aedeagus is illustrated for all the species except two that are known only from females.Of the species treated, three are Holarctic in distribution, four are restricted to eastern North America, and 11 are endemic to the mountainous areas of western North America.All available biological information for each species is included and a key is presented to aid in the identification of all the genera and species of the tribe in North America.

Two new genera are described for three species in the “red” group of the North American eumenine wasps from the genus Odynerus Latreille, 1802: Bohartodynerus Fateryga, gen. n. for O. margaretellus Rohwer, 1915 (type species) and O. cinnabarinus Bohart, 1939, and Parkerodynerus Fateryga, gen. n. (type species O. erythrogaster Bohart, 1939). Bohartodynerus cinnabarinus comb. n. is newly recorded from Nevada and New Mexico and B. margaretellus comb. n. from California, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. Bionomics of the species included to these genera are summarized. Nectar robbing is reported for wasps in the genus Bohartodynerus at flowers of Astragalus spp. (Fabaceae), Penstemon sp. (Plantaginaceae), and Calylophus sp. (Onagraceae). It is speculated that nectar is used by them to bond the gravel during the construction of the closing plug of the nest. Parkerodynerus erythrogaster comb. n. apparently does not use liquid for the nest construction. Bionomics of other genera in the Odynerus group of the tribe Odynerini s. str. are discussed. Neither Bohartodynerus nor Parkerodynerus can be treated as members of the genus Odynerus according to their ethology, and the differences between these two newly described taxa are also enough to recognize them as separate genera. A cocoon of P. erythrogaster is described in detail; it has a sandwich-like structure with two layers of silk strands and a layer of sand in-between. Similar structure is found in the cocoons of other genera in the Odynerus group but only at the free part of the cocoon instead over its whole surface; that was overlooked during the previous studies of those genera.

Generic Unit

The genus Aleurodiscus Rabenh. ex J. Schroet. (sensu lato) is an artificial assemblage of large-spored 'thelephoraceous' hymenomycetes, which can no longer be maintained as a generic unit. The generic limits and the taxonomic position of Aleurodiscus (sensu stricto) (TYPE SPECIES: A. amorphus (Pers. per Purt.: Fr.) J. Schroet.) have been discussed by the writer (1964) in a separate paper. The present work supplements this earlier work, but is concerned primarily with an appraisal of the non-amyloid-spored Aleurodisci, all of which are removed from Aleurodiscus and either assigned to other recognized genera or relegated to new genera.Accordingly, two new genera and 15 new combinations are devised here to accommodate several species formerly placed in Aleurodiscus (sensu lato). The new genera, one of which is monotypical, are Aleurocorticium Lemke, gen. nov. (TYPE SPECIES: A. acerinum (Pers. per Fr.) Lemke, gen. & comb. nov.) and Licrostroma Lemke, gen. nov. (MONOTYPE: L. subgiganteum (Berk.) Lemke, gen. & comb. nov.). The additional 13 combinations proposed are Aleurocorticium album (Viégas) Lemke, comb, nov., A. alliaceum (Quél.) Lemke, comb. nov., A. candidum (Schw.) Lemke, comb. nov. A. dryinum (Pers.) Lemke, comb. nov., A. griseo-canum (Bres.) Lemke, comb. nov., A. lepra (Berk. et Curt.) Lemke, comb. nov., A. macrodens (Coker) Lemke, comb. nov., A. macrosporum (Bres.) Lemke, comb. nov., A. moquiniarum (Viégas) Lemke, comb. nov., A. nivosum (Berk. et Curt. ex Höhn. et Litsch.) Lemke, comb. nov., A. seriatum (Berk. et Curt.) Lemke, comb. nov., A. strumosum (Fr.) Lemke, comb. nov.; and Aleurocystis magnispora (Burt) Lemke, comb. nov.The genus Laeticorticium Donk (1956: 16) (TYPE SPECIES: L. roseum (Pers. per Fr.) Donk) is confirmed as a valid segregate from Aleurodiscus (sensu lato), but the species of Laeticorticium are not treated here aside from nomenclatural considerations. With the exception of the Laeticorticia, all of the remaining North American and many of the critical non-amyloid-spored species of Aleurodiscus (sensu lato) are reviewed.Particular emphasis is devoted to the genus Aleurocorticium Lemke, gen. nov. and a key to 14 North American species of Aleurocorticium is provided. Seven of the Aleurocorticia are reported from the North American mycobiota for the first time. These seven species, five of which are described as new to science, include Aleurocorticium alliaceum (Quél.) Lemke [= Aleurodiscus alliaceus (Quél) Boidin (1957)], Aleurocorticium dryinum (Pers.) Lemke [= Aleurodiscus dryinus (Pers.) Bourd,], Aleurocorticium incrustans Lemke, sp. nov., A. maculatum Jacks. et Lemke, sp. nov., A. mexicanum Lemke, sp. nov., A. microsporum Jacks. et Lemke, sp. nov., and A. pachysterigmatum Jacks. et Lemke, sp. nov.Corlicium hiemale [= Aleurodiscus hiemalis (Laurila) Eriksson (1958a: 78)] is, likewise, initially recorded for North America.Eight of the named species of Aleurodiscus are recognized as facultative synonyms. These names, as indicated, are offered as taxonomic discards: [Aleurodiscus albidus Massee =] Aleurocorticium lepra (Berk. et Curt.) Lemke; [Aleurodiscus albus (Burt) Rogers et Jacks. =] Xenasma clematidis (Bourd. et Galz.) Liberta; [Aleurodiscus guttulatus Rick =] Bourdotia cinerea (Bres.) Bourd. etGalz.; [Aleurodiscus jacksonii Ahmad =] Aleurocorticium candidum (Schw.) Lemke; [Aleurodiscus orientalis Lloyd =] Licrostroma subgiganteum (Berk.) Lemke; [Aleurodiscus reflexus Yasuda =] Licrostroma subgiganteum (Berk.) Lemke; [Aleurodiscus sendaiensis Yasuda =] Corticium evolvens (Fr. ex Fr.) Fr.; [Aleurodiscus subacerinus Höhn. et Litsch. =] Aleurocorticium alliaceum (Quél.) Lemke.The genus Cyphella Fr. (MONOTYPE: C. digitalis (Alb. et Schw. per Pers.) Fr.) is reinstated (see Code 1952: 76) and the combination Aleurodiscus digitalis (Alb. et Schw. per Pers.) Donk (1951: 210) is discredited.

The Palearctic genus Cochylichroa Obraztsov & Swatschek, 1958, revised status (type species: Eupoecilia atricapitana Stephens, 1852), is redefined based on North American congeners, resulting in the following new combinations: Cochylichroa arthuri (Dang, 1984), new combination; C. atricapitana (Stephens, 1852), revised status; C. aurorana (Kearfott, 1907), new combination; C. avita (Razowski, 1997), new combination; C. foxcana (Kearfott, 1907), new combination; C. hospes (Walsingham, 1884), new combination; C. hoffmanana (Kearfott, 1907), new combination; C. temerana (Busck, 1907), new combination; and C. viscana (Kearfott, 1907), new combination. Monoceratuncus Razowski, 1992, is reported for the first time from the U.S.A. as Monoceratuncus lantana Pogue, new species. Mimcochylis Razowski, 1985, is reported for the first time from the U.S.A. as Mimcochylis fulvotinctana (Walsingham, 1884), new combination and senior synonym of M. planola Razowski, 1985, new synonym. One new species is described in Aethes Billberg, 1820 (i.e., A. triassumenta Pogue, new species), and one new combination (i.e., A. ringsi (Metzler, 2000), new combination, is proposed. Two other new combinations are proposed: Thyraylia wiscana (Kearfott, 1907), new combination, and Eupinivora parotanus (Razowski and Becker, 2010), new combination.

AbstractThe North American Aegeriidae are revised on the basis of the study of late-instar larvae of about 60 species. These species represent 20 genera in five tribes in two subfamilies: Bembeciini, Zenodoxini, Aegeriini and Melittiini in Zenodoxinae and Synanthedontini in Synanthedontinae. The presently recognized genera, Ramosia Engelhardt, Conopia Hübner and Thamnosphecia Spuler are reduced to synonyms of Synanthedon Hübner. Three new genera are defined by larval characters but are referred to only as Genera I, II and III. Larval characters for most of the species are discussed and illustrated; keys to species, genera and tribes are provided. Tribes, genera and most species are arranged in the text as nearly as possible according to their phylogenetic relationships as suggested by the larvae.
