AbstractExtensive collections of synanthropic fly parasitoids in animal excrement accumulations in the United States, Mexico, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Uruguay, Chile, Denmark, Israel, and South Africa yielded seven forms of a Muscidifurax complex which were totally or partially reproductively isolated. Morphological studies of female and male parasitoids coupled with biological and zoogeographical information permitted the identification of five sibling species. Muscidifurax raptor Girault and Sanders 1910 is redescribed and four additional species are described as new: M. zaraptor, from the southwestern United States; M. raptoroides from Central America and Mexico; M. uniraptor from Puerto Rico, and M. raptorellus from Uruguay and Chile. Biological notes are added to the descriptions, and it was postulated that the genus is undergoing a process of speciation with local populations slowly becoming reproductively isolated and eventually giving rise to morphologically distinguishable entities. Most evidence suggests the establishment of Muscidifurax in the New World, concomitant with or shortly following the establishment of muscoid flies in accumulated excrement. Scanning electronmicroscopy was used in the analysis of some morphological structures.

The genus Exomalopsis, Spin., was founded in 1851 on a couple of bees from Para, Brazil. Three years later, F. Smith described three additional species, also from Brazil. More recently, species have been described or recorded from Cuba, Jamaica, and Mexico, but none hitherto from the United States. One species, E. pulchella, Cr., has a remarkable range, being found in Cuba (Cresson), Jamaica (Fox), and Lower California (Fox). I myself have taken it in Jamaica.

Since 1861, the date of Hagen's Synopsis, only three additional species of Chryospidæ have been recorded from the United States— one from Florida, one from Texas and one from California. During the past summer I received a short note from Mr. A. P. Morse, of Wellesley, Mass., enclosing a few specimens of Chrysopidæ which he thought might prove new to our collection.

The milliped genus Pseudotremia Cope 1869 as it occurs in Virginia, USA, is reviewed, with new records and species, mostly from caves. Seventeen new species, Pseudotremia loomisi, P. contorta, P. cerberus, P. pomarium, P. orndorffi, P. peponocranium, P. glaber, P. fergusoni, P. jaculohamatum, P. fremens, P. hubbardi, P. ryensis, P. piscator, P. culveri, P. salfodina, P. johnholsingeri and P. inexpectata are described, for a total Virginia fauna of 25 species. Additional species are predicted to occur. New locality records are given for seven previously described species, Pseudotremia alecto Shear 1972, P. hobbsi Hoffman 1950, P. sublevis Loomis 1944, P. tuberculata Loomis 1939, P. momus Shear 1972, P. nodosa Loomis 1939, and P. valga Loomis 1943. Taxonomic characters useful in delimiting species of Pseudotremia are discussed.

In recent rearings by officers of the Entomological Branch several new species of Braconidae have been secured as well as records of species hitherto little known in Canada. The writer wishes to express his indebtedness to Dr. C. W. F. Muesebeck for his assistance in examining three of the species described below. Paratypes of all the species are deposited in the United States National Museum.

Since my first paper on “Indiana Acrididæ,” which was published in the Entomologist for April and May, 1891, was prepared, six additional species have been taken in Vigog County. Of these, one is new to science; a second has been known in the United States only from Florida and Nort Carolina; of a third, but one specimen, a female, has hitherto been recorded, and from it Dr. Thomas described the species; while a fourth has not before been taken west of New Jersey.

In the two preceding papers of this series 36 species and 3 varieties of Acridiæ have been recorded as occurring in Indiana. Since the last paper, published in the Entomologist for February, 1892, appeared, five additional species have been taken within the State, and many lacts have been gathered concerning the life history, habits and range of the species previously recorded. Moreover, my private collection has been largely increased by exchange for specimens from other parts of the United States, and I have possessed myself of almost all the literature extant upon the group, so that I am enabled to clear up a few mistakes in synonymy rvhich crept into my first papers.

The genus Agrilus Curtis 1825 is reviewed for the Baja California peninsula of Mexico. Of the 25 species included, 11 are recorded here for the first time and four are previously unknown to science and described as new: Agrilus barri new species, A. interstitialis new species, A. vescivittatus new species, and A. argythamniae new species. Four additional species may be expected based on their occurrence just north of the border in the United States. Upon further study Agrilus auroguttatus Schaeffer 1905, revalidated status, is judged to be a separate species from A. coxalis Waterhouse 1889. Figures and a key to known and expected species are given, as well as a summary checklist.
