Three New Species

In an earlier paper (Syme and Davies, 1958), three new species in the hirtipes-complex (Prosimulium fuscum Syme and Davies, P. mixtum Syme and Davies and P. fontanum Syme and Davies) were described, compared with related species in other parts of the world, and their known distribution in northeastern North America indicated. In this paper are presented observations on the manner and dates of oviposition, on incubation, on the larval feeding, on the rate of larval growth during the fall and winter in a spring-fed stream, and on differences in habitat and seasonal emergence of the three new species.

Three New Species

AbstractThe seven species of Lonchaeidae described by de Meijere from south-east Asia (all placed by him in the genus Lonchaea) are redescribed, compared with their relatives, and assigned to their proper genera: Lonchaea minuta, L. pugionata, Silba gibbosa, S. lucens, S. obscuripennis, S. setifera (all from Java), and S. cupraria (from Krakatau). Lectotypes are designated for all except cupraria which is known from the holotype only. L. minuta is a prior name for lambiana Bezzi (= longicornis Lamb). S. obscuripennis (= zopherosa McAlpine) is a junior synonym of S. atratula (Walker). Three new species, L. marshalli from Natal, L. hennigi from Formosa, and S. vanemdeni from Malaya, are described. Keys to the world species of the L. impressifrons and of the S. abstata groups of species are provided. The genitalia of 16 species are figured.

AbstractThe oribatid mite genus Megeremaeus is redefined, with the addition of information on leg chaetotaxy and immature instars. Three new species are described, Megeremaeus hylaius from northeastern North America, and M. keewatin and M. kootenai from northwestern North America. Descriptions of the former two species are based on adults and immatures, the latter species on adults only. Nymphs of M. montanus Higgins and Woolley are described. A key is given for the six known species in the genus.

Despite being reported widely from basal Sunwaptan strata, Dellea? punctata Palmer, 1965, is known from only four figured cranidia. New material from Nevada, Utah and Oklahoma, including librigenae and pygidia, indicate that specimens assigned previously to D.? punctata are best interpreted as a complex of related species that are assigned to a new genus, Bartonaspis. This genus is diagnosed by punctate sculpture, a pair of fossulae at the anterior corners of the glabella, and by a subelliptical pygidium with a short convex axis composed of three segments. Three new species, B. fredericksoni, B. palmeri, and B. wilsoni, are described and B. punctata (Palmer) is restricted to its holotype. Bartonaspis is known only from the Irvingella major Zone, and its first appearance defines the base of the Sunwaptan Stage. Dellea Wilson, 1949, is related to Bartonaspis and is differentiated from it primarily by pygidial morphology. In contrast to Bartonaspis, the pygidium of Dellea has an axis composed of four, rather than three, segments and a narrow concave border.

Three New Species

Romanomermis Coman, 1961 is resurrected from the synonymy of Eurymermis Müller, 1931, the generic description is augmented, and three new species are described: Romanomermis kiktoreak, R. hermaphrodita, and R. culicivorax. R. culicivorax is a segregate of a complex known previously as Reesimermis nielseni Tsai and Grundmann, 1969. R. nielseni is restricted to a species known only from Wyoming. Reesimermis Tsai and Grundmann is suppressed and R. nielseni s.str. is transferred to Romanomermis. Reesimermis muspratti Obiamiwe and Macdonald is moved to Octomyomermis Johnson. Keys are provided for the world species of Romanomermis and for the described mermithids that infect mosquitoes in North America. A brief commentary is included on the taxonomic utility of length and degree of fusion of the spicules, body shape, cuticular fibres, and double molt to adult.

AbstractAngilovelia n.gen. is described with Velia y-alba Paiva, 1918, from Burma as type-species and only included species. It has stridulatory devices similar to those found in species of the Neotropical genus Stridulivelia Hungerford. Three new species of Angilia Stål subgenus Adriennella Poisson are described, A. orientalis n.sp. (Thailand, Hong Kong), A. bispinosa n.sp. (Thailand), and A. trispinosa n.sp. (Malayan Peninsula?). The Palaearctic genus Velia Latreille reaches the border zone between this region and the Oriental region. V. (Plesiovelia) affinis Kolenati ssp. marussii Tamanini, described from Hindukush (Afghanistan, Pakistan), is here recorded from Kashmir (India) and the first species of the genus is described from China, V. (Haldwania) sinensis n.sp. A key is given to the genera and subgenera of Veliinae of the world.

AbstractThe genus Ips is one of four closely related genera in the tribe Ipini, sub-tribe Ipina (De Geer 1775, Balachowsky 1949, Nunberg 1954, Hopping 1963). There are now 32 species of Ips recognized in North America, with a few more as yet undescribed. This paper defines the groups of closely related species with observations on the group relationships of species from other parts of the world. Work is in progress to define the North American species in each group.

Nearctic Region

The taxonomy of the Nearctic Nylanderia fauna is revised. Three new species are established, bringing the total numberof native species from the region to 14. The new species are: N. magnella, N. querna, and N. trageri. Several speciespossess workers that are difficult to distinguish from each other and the presence of males is required for morphologicalidentification. This is particularly the case with N. vividula and N. terricola. Two subspecies are synonymized: N. vividulamjobergi is considered a junior synonym of N. vividula and N. vividula antillana is considered a junior synonym of N.guatemalensis. At least five Nylanderia species have been introduced to the Nearctic region, including: N. bourbonica,N. flavipes, N. fulva, N. pubens, and N. steinheili. Another species, N. guatemalensis, is also included because its widedistribution across the Caribbean and Central America suggest it could become introduced to the Nearctic region. Iden-tification keys are provided for the workers of native and introduced species and the males of native species. Distributionmaps are provided for native and introduced species. Photomontage images are provided for the worker of each introduced species and all castes of the native species.
