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

A new species of pyrenomycete, Nodulosphaeria edgari, is described from western Canada and western U.S.A. A closely related species, Nodulosphaeria olivacea (Ellis) L. Holm, is redescribed from the lectotype and additional collections from western U.S.A. The two species sometimes occur together on the same host plant material. Nodulosphaeria edgari was previously reported from western U.S.A. under the misapplied names Leptosphaeria erigerontis (Berlese) Berlese and Nodulosphaeria olivacea. Species concepts are stabilized based on type studies of the three taxa. Host plant and geographic records are revised.

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.

AbstractDiplolepis triforma n. sp. is described and distinguished from other members of the genus. Diagnoses are given for closely related species: D. ashmeadi (Beut.), D. inconspicuis Dailey and Campbell, D. nodulosa (Beut.), and D. verna (O.S.). Lectotypes are designated for D. ashmeadi, D. nodulosa, and D. verna. The genus Diplolepis Fourcroy is briefly reviewed. The biology and ecology of D. triforma and its gall are described. Diplolepis triforma induces a multichambered, polymorphic stem gall on Rosa acicularis and is distributed throughout central and western Canada. The form of the gall depends on the developmental condition of the host plant at the time of oviposition.

A New Species

A new species of Trogia (Marasmiaceae, Basidiomycota) is described from West Bengal, India. Analysis of the molecular sequence (nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer region) data suggests that T. benghalesis is phylogenetically distinct from its closely related species. Comprehensive description based on macro- and microscopic characters, photographs and comparisons with morphologically similar and phylogenetically related species are provided.

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.
