The genus Pseudocollinella Duda, 1924, treated by recent authors as part of the genus Opacifrons Duda, 1918, is redefined and revised for the Nearctic region. Pseudocollinella flavilabris (Hackman) and P. abhorrens (Roháček) are recorded from the Nearctic region for the first time. All of the above species, plus the North American species P. caelobata (Spuler), P. pellucida (Spuler), and P. sciaspidis (Spuler) and the European species P. septentrionalis (Stenhammar), P. humida (Haliday), P. jorlii (Carles-Tolrá), P. tunisica (Papp), and P. ochrea (Papp), are given as new combinations. Pseudocollinella aquilifrons Marshall, P. attractans Marshall, P. arctopellucida Marshall, P. boreosciaspidis Marshall, P. charlottensis Marshall, P. hirsutipellucida Marshall, P. parapellucida Marshall, P. parasciaspidis Marshall, and P. utapellucida Marshall are described as new. A key to all species is given and their phylogenetic relationships are discussed.

All macropterous species of Aptilotus Mik are keyed, with descriptions of two new macropterous North American species, Aptilotus pogophallus and A. nigriphallus. New distributional records are given for other North American species, and brachyptery is noted for the first time in A. luctuosus (Spuler). Four new macropterous species of Aptilotus (glabrifrons, spinistylus, rufiscapus, and binotatus are described from Nepal. The relationships between the North American and Nepalese species are discussed. Minocellina Papp is synonomized with Aptilotus, and the two species formerly in Minocellina, A. thaii (Papp) and A. besucheti (Papp), are thus given as new combinations. Limosina carbonicolor Richards, from Ethiopia, is redescribed and transferred to Aptilotus.

AbstractThe Elachista tetragonella group is redefined, its limits extended to include the genus Biselachista Traugott-Olsen & Nielsen, 1977. The North American species of the tetragonella group are described and illustrated, and a key is given to the males. 19 species are recognized in the Nearctic region, including 12 new species: Elachista pyrrha (Alberta), E. absaroka (Wyoming), E. calusella (Florida), E. beothucella (Newfoundland), E. glenni (Illinois), E. cerasella (Nebraska), E. serra (Labrador), E. huron (Quebec), E. vinlandica (Newfoundland), E. ciliiyera (Mississippi), E. lenape (New Jersey) and E. pelaena (California). The male of E. inaudita Braun and the female of E. leucosticta Braun are described for the first time. Elachista eleochariella Stainton and E. albidella Nylander (= E. tanyopis Meyrick, syn. n.) are recognized as Holarctic species.

The species of Rhaphium Mg. (s.l.) may be divided, for convenience, into two group—those with white-faced males and those with black-faced males. Since the North American species of the genus were last revised (Curran, 1926, 1927), 13 species belonging to the former group have been described. In this paper one species with black-faced males is described as new, one is recorded from the Nearctic region and one from Canada for the first rime, and one species with white-faced males is also recorded from Canada for the first time.

Abstract The description of a new species of an erymid lobster, Stenodactylina beardi, from the Upper Cretaceous Haslam Formation of the Nanaimo Group on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, brings to fifteen the number of Erymidae in North America. The species are arrayed within five genera based upon configuration of carapace groove morphology, resulting in two new combinations, Stenodactylina bordenensis (Copeland, 1960) and S. foersteri (Feldmann, 1979). The new species exhibits for the first time a male pleopod and accessory structures within Erymoidea. We also provide a list of the North American species of Erymoidea.

The north-western European species of the laevigatus-group of Apanteles are revised. Forty species are dealt with, of which twenty are described as new. Brief notes are added on North American species of the group in the British Museum (Nat. Hist.) to assist their eventual correlation with the European species.

A general survey is given of the morphology and anatomy of the genus Placynthium. The species: aspralile, flabellosum, nigrum incl v. tantaleum, petersii, subradiatum, and stenophyllum are described in detail. The following new combinations are made: Placynthium filiforme, Placynthium aspralile, Placynthium subradiatum f. coerulescens, and Synalissa subnigra. The new variety Placynthium stenophyllum v. isidiatum is established.

North American species of the genera Aspidoglossa Putzeys, Semiardistomis Kult and Ardistomis Putzeys, which constitute the subtribe Ardistomina in the tribe Clivinini, are reviewed. The five species are keyed, redescribed and notes are provided about their distribution and habitat requirements. Larval character states of the subtribe are described for the first time based on first instar of Semiardistomis viridis (Say). Illustrations of some of the most important morphological features as well as distribution maps are included. The species known as Ardistomis morio (Dejean) is redescribed from the holotype. Evidence is presented which establishes that this species does not belong to the genus Ardistomis, or to the subtribe Ardistomina, and that the sole specimen known was probably collected in the Neotropical Region, not in the Nearctic Region. The species is returned to the genus Clivina in which it was originally described.

AbstractAs part of our ongoing studies of the Graphidaceae in North America, we resolve the status of all taxa traditionally assigned to the genus Graphina that have been reported from the continent north of Mexico. Treatments for the North American members of Acanthothecis, Carbacanthographis, and Diorygma are presented because several species of Graphina have been reassigned to these genera, and our studies of accumulated herbarium materials revealed the existence of several previously unreported and unrecognized species. The following new combinations are made: Acanthothecis leucopepla, A. mosquitensis, A. peplophora, and A. poitaeoides. Carbacanthographis muriformis is described as new to science based on material from Florida. The following taxa are reported from North America for the first time: Acanthothecis poitaeoides,Diorygma junghuhnii, D. reniforme.

The North American species of Trichoceridae belong to three genera, Diazosma Bergroth (subsinuata Alexander), Paracladura Brunetti (trichoptera Osten Sacken) and the dominant Trichocera Meigen, with numerous species, some of which are widely distributed throughout the Holarctic Region. The scope of the family, its phylogenetic relationships, and a key to the known genera, are all discussed in a recent paper by the writer. (The Trichoceridae of Australia; Proc. Linnean Soc. N. S. W., 51 : 299—304; 1926) and need not be considered further at this time.

AbstractFirst instars of 93 North American species of mosquitoes are studied and 56 are illustrated, 41 for the first time. Generic differences are well marked in this instar and nearly all species are separable.Two keys to the 11 North American genera are presented; the first is constructed to show similarities between first and later instars. Each genus is described and keyed to species, and notes are given on each species. A supplementary key to the species of the southeastern states is designed for the use of a binocular microscope with magnification up to 60 ×.Specific and generic differences are as well marked in the first as in the fourth instar. Identifications are as easy or as difficult in the first as in the fourth instar, though usually based on different characters.An expanded key to the North American species of Aedes, incorporating those previously treated by Bohart and by Price, is attempted. The key reveals several species complexes which have not been discerned from other stages of the life cycle, namely, Aedes canadensis, nigromaculis, punctor, stimulans infirmatus and trivittatus.A key to the first instars of the 37 species of the world-wide Anophelinae is presented, on the basis of published descriptions and figures of the exotic species.
