Type Locality

South Canyon, located in the New Pass Range in central Nevada (Fig. 1), is one of the most important localities for Upper Triassic marine invertebrates in North America. This site yields very rich ammonoid faunas, as well as cnidarians (Muller, 1936; Stanley, 1979; Roniewicz and Stanley, 1998), foraminifers (Gazdzicki and Stanley, 1983), bivalves (Waller and Stanley, 1998, 2005; Hopkin and McRoberts, 2003), and brachiopods.

AbstractGyrinus cavatus sp.nov. (type locality: Floral, Saskatchewan, Canada), from across Canada, is compared with G. minutus Fabricius. The two species are broadly sympatric in the northern boreal and transition forests, but G. cavatus is more abundant southward into the northern United States. Therefore, the subgenus Gyrinulus Zaitsev is not monobasic, but has three species in North America, including G. rockinghamensis LeConte.

Pleurotus Cystidiosus

Antromycopsis broussonetiae has recently been shown to be the appropriate form name for the coremia produced by Pleurotus cystidiosus and has been redescribed and figured by Pollack and Miller (Mem. N.Y. Bot. Gard. 28(1): 174–178, 1976). The present report represents the historical background and possible significance of the form species. That is, if A. broussonetiae is the status imperfectus of P. cystidiosus, then P. cystidiosus should occur in Algeria, the type locality of A. broussonetiae. The monokaryons of P. cystidiosus, when cultured, also produce coremia with an apical mucous spore drop. These, however, are smaller, as are the arthrospores. On the basis of descriptions and drawings it is suggested that A. broussonetiae subsp. minor Penzig & Saccardo may represent such monokaryotic coremia of P. cystidiosus; if so, then the anticipated range of P. cystidiosus is extended to India and Java. (Pleurotus cystidiosus was described from North America and has also been reported from South Africa and Taiwan.)

Proliferative Kidney Disease

Sphaerospora oncorhynchi n.sp. is described from sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) from Great Central Lake, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Subspherical spores and monosporous pseudoplasmodia were observed in the lumen of renal tubules. Pseudoplasmodia are oval or elongate and range from 5 to 15 μm in the greatest dimension. Spores are 8.2–10.2 μm (length) × 7.8–9.2 μm (width, in sutural plane) × 10.2–11.2 μm (thickness, perpendicular to sutural plane), with two spherical polar capsules of equal size measuring 2.9–3.3 μm in diameter and containing polar filaments with 4–5 coils. The spore contains two uninucleate sporoplasms and is usually surrounded by a degenerated pseudoplasmodium. The type locality for S. oncorhynchi is enzootic for proliferative kidney disease of salmonid fishes. This disease is caused by the PKX organisms, the extrasporogonic stage of an unidentified myxosporean similar to species of Sphaerospora. Sphaerospora oncorhynchi and the PKX organism are similar in that monosporous sporogenesis occurs within the lumen of renal tubules, and the trophozoites and pseudoplasmodia in early sporogenesis of the two parasites are indistinguishable. Furthermore, Sphaerospora spores very similar to those of S. oncorhynchi have been observed in salmonids from two localities in the U.S.A. that are enzootic for proliferative kidney disease. Therefore, the PKX myxosporean in North America may be an extrasporogonic form of S. oncorhynchi n.sp.

Two new species of Bibloplectus Reitter, 1881 are described from the Orlando Park Collection of Pselaphinae at the FMNH (Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, IL, USA): Bibloplectus silvestris Owens and Carlton, new species (type locality, Urbana, IL, USA) and Bibloplectus wingi Owens and Carlton, new species (type locality, Shades State Park, IN, USA). Types of these new species were part of a series of specimens bearing unpublished Park manuscript names in both the pinned and slide collection at the FMNH. They bring the total number of species in the genus in eastern North America to twenty-three. Resolving these manuscript names adds to previous efforts to uncover elements of the hidden diversity of North American Bibloplectus from museum collections (Owens and Carlton 2016, Owens and Carlton 2017) and highlights the importance of close examination of the Orlando Park pselaphine collection as a valuable historic and taxonomic resource.

Clepsine modesta was described by Verrill (1872) based on specimens collected in the West River and Whitneyville Lake, New Haven County, Connecticut, USA. Consistent with Article 73.2.3 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (Anonymous 1999), the Syntype specimens of C. modesta originated from two localities and thus the type locality encompasses all of the places of origin. Moore (1898) synonomized C. modesta with the European Helobdella stagnalis (Linnaeus 1758) based on similarities in morphology. Subsequently, all North American leeches with a nuchal scute were considered as H. stagnalis with the exception of Helobdella californica Kutschera 1988, known only from Stow Lake, Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, California, USA. In addition to Europe and North America, Helobdella stagnalis has been reported from South America, Africa, and Asia (Sawyer 1986).

Two New Species

AbstractThe North American fauna of Alucitidae is shown to include three widespread species: Alucita montana Barnes et Lindsey, 1921 (nec Cockerell), Alucita adriendenisisp. nov. (type locality: Manitoulin Island, Ontario, Canada), and Alucitalalanneisp. nov. (type locality: Maynooth, Ontario, Canada). Alucita hexadactyla (L., 1758) and A. huebneri Wallengren, 1862 do not occur in North America. The three North American species are described and illustrated. Alucita montana is found from southwestern Quebec and Vermont, west to British Columbia, and south to Arizona, California, and Texas; its caterpillar is associated with Symphoricarpos spp. (Caprifoliaceae). Alucita adriendenisi is known from northwestern Quebec and New York, west to Alberta and the Northwest Territories, with more southern populations (isolated?) in West Virginia, Arizona, and Texas; its caterpillar feeds on flowers of Lonicera dioica L. (Caprifoliaceae) in Michigan. Alucita lalannei has been found in Ontario, Manitoba, and Alberta, Canada; its host plant is unknown.

Diploid Complement

The diploid complement of the marine planarian Procerodes lobata, collected from the type locality, Corfu, consists of 14 metacentric chromosomes. The karyotype is virtually identical with that of P. littoralis, the only other member of the genus for which detailed karyometric data are available, but it differs from British populations of P. lobata. Early records of P. lobata in North America probably refer to Uteriporus vulgaris, a species whose occurrence in eastern Canada has recently been established. The two species are almost indistinguishable in life but they may be separated karyologically, even when immature.

Recessive Character

A study of 624 specimens of Bonasa umbellus shows that variation in the species in eastern North America consists in a loss of red pigment from south to north. Westward in Canada there is a reduction of black resulting in paleness and greyness. This variation resolves itself into eight subspecies, which can be grouped into two "super-subspecies," based on the potential for redness. The ratio of colour phases and "trimming" of most Canadian races has been worked out. The type locality of B. u. umbelloides has been determined as Belvedere, Alta. The race canescens of Todd is found valid and the evidence is presented by the application of a simple quantitative tone or value scale. Its range extends from James Bay to central and western Ontario, consequently the range of B. u. togata is greatly restricted in Ontario. Minor refinements of the ranges of other races are presented.The incidence of the red phase is higher in females, the percentages of occurrence suggesting that this phase is a sex-linked recessive character. A variation designated as "copper-trimmed" is more prevalent in males and may be controlled by a dominant sex-linked factor.
