A New Species

Henlea yukonensis Tynen and Coates, sp.nov., a large enchytraeid 10–60 mm long and 2 mm in diameter, is described from the western foothills of the Richardson Mountains. Henlea yukonensis is distinguished from H. udei (Eisen, 1904), a species known only from Alaska, by spermathecal form and by the locations of the intestinal diverticula and dorsal blood vessel origins. Henlea yukonensis could be included in Hepatogaster Cejka, 1910, a subgenus of Henlea Michaelsen, 1889 characterized by intestinal diverticula with a multitubular substructure, if that form of intestinal diverticulum were shown to be apomorphic in Henlea. This form of diverticulum is described only in a few Siberian and North American species of Henlea: H. ochracea (Eisen, 1878) sensu Welch, 1919, H. moderatoidea Altman, 1936, and H. udei (Eisen, 1904), Subgeneric classification within Henlea awaits the resolution of diagnostic character states and of character polarities for the genus as a whole. Setal size distribution, oesophageal appendages, and intestinal diverticula probably have unique states that could delimit Henlea. However, our limited knowledge of the last two characters presently restricts their utility to diagnoses of the genus and subgenera. Punahenlea Nurminen, 1980 is not presently distinguished from Henlea by any reliable taxonomic characteristics.

A New Species

AbstractThe pupal cremasters of twelve species of Japanese oak-feeding Phyllonorycter are examined. The cremasters, even those of closely related species, are specifically distinct. Combined with descriptions of European and North American species, the present results indicate that the cremaster can be used as a diagnostic character for the species of Phyllonorycter. A new species, P. persimilis, which was previously confused with P. similis Kumata, and the female of P. nipponicella (Issiki), hitherto unknown, are described. The nipponicella complex including these species is reviewed and the speciation of its members is discussed in relation to diversification of the host plant preference.

A new species, Pholis clemensi, referred to the family Pholidae, is named and described from 12 specimens taken in southern British Columbia waters and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Pholis clemensi is compared with other members of the genus, and a key is given to the North American species.

A New Species

I am hardly prepaled at present to accept Isodontia elegans, Smith, as a variety of I. apicalis, Smith. The differences between the two seem to be very constant, and their distribution appears to be somewhat different, elegans being more a southern and western form, while apicalis occurs chiefly in the central, eastern and northern States.

Mr. Ashmead has written thus of the Xyelidæ: “ the imagoes appear very early in the year, or in February, March and April, Deposit their eggs and then disappear, the consequence being that very few are taken, and only a few of the common forms are known.” Of the genus Xyela, as now restricted only one North American species, X. minor, Norton, has been described.On May 1st of the present year, as we were going up to our classes in the Normal University at Las Vegas, N.M., my wife picked a small insect off my coat. It was at once transfered to the bottle which is never absent from the entomologist's person, and upon inspection later, proved to be a new species of Xyela, herewith described:

A New Species

Adults of Odontocepheus rumbleseatus n.sp. are described, the second Odontocepheus species known from North America. An unusual, deep posterior depression on the notogaster easily separates this species from all others in the genus Odontocepheus. Specimens were collected from hardwood leaf litter and rotten wood. The known distribution is Illinois and West Virginia south to northern Florida. Additional characters for separating the North American species O. oblongus (Banks) from O. elongatus (Michael) in Europe are presented, and the presence of O. elongatus in North America is documented.
