The Aleiodes pallidator species-group is defined, and an identification key is provided for the five species known to occur in the U.S.A. and Canada. Two new species are described: Aleiodes martini Shaw and Marsh, from Florida, and A. xanthoclypeus Shaw and Marsh, known from Canada and Wisconsin, and reared from Lymantriidae species including Dasychira plagiata (Walker) and Olene grisefacta (a new host record for the genus Aleiodes). Five species are illustrated, and their host associations are summarized.

AbstractDescriptions of Procloeon rubropictum (McD.), P. quaesitum (McD.), and P. rufostrigatum (McD.) are expanded to include features not previously published. A description of the nymph of P. quaesitum is given for the first time. Procloeon irrubrum sp.nov. is described from nymphs and female imagoes. From our interpretation of preliminary data, it is possible that P. rufostrigatum and P. rubropictum form one species group; P. quaesitum is included with P. pennulatum (Eaton) in another. Procloeon irrubrum does not fit either species group but shows some affinities to the P. rufostrigatum group. Some characters for separating the nymphs of Procloeon and Centroptilum are given.

A New Species

DNA barcoding is used to verify characters to morphologically differentiate genetically distinct species of eastern North American small carpenter bees, Ceratina. Here we reveal that the common eastern North American species, Ceratina dupla s. l., is actually three separate species based on fixed differences in DNA barcode sequences and morphological characters. This study adds a new species, C. mikmaqi Rehan & Sheffield, to the Ceratina dupla species-group of eastern North America, and raises another form, C. floridana formerly C. dupla floridana, to full species. Temporal niche partitioning between C. dupla and C. mikmaqi and geographic isolation of C. floridana further support the division of the C. dupla s. l. group into three species. A diagnosis and description of the new species are provided, as is a key for eastern North American species of Ceratina.

Four new species are described:D.sculptusBousquet (type locality: Pass-a-Grille Beach, Florida);D.ferrugineusBousquet (type locality: Goose Island State Park, Texas);D.larochelleiBousquet (type locality: 6 mi. S Lake Placid, Florida); andD.comatusBousquet (type locality: Highlands Hammock, Florida). Six species names are placed in synonymy for the first time. They are (with the junior synonym listed first):D.arizonicusVan Dyke 1943 =D.interiorFall 1922;D.duplicatesFall 1901 =D.affinisFall 1901;D.desertusFall 1925 =D.perversusFall 1922;D.subpunctatusHatch 1949 =D.sphaericollis(Say 1825);D.basalisLeConte 1857 andD.transmarinusMannerheim 1853 =D.integerLeConte 1851. The adult and larval character states of the genus are listed and comments are provided for each species group.

The genus Leptodrepana Shaw was described in 1983, but prior to the current study only one Neotropical species had been described from Mexico and none were named from Costa Rica. In this paper twenty-four new species are described and named from Costa Rica: L.alexisae Dadelahi & Shaw, sp. n., L.atalanta Dadelahi & Shaw, sp. n., L.conda Dadelahi & Shaw, sp. n., L.conleyae Dadelahi & Shaw, sp. n., L.demeter Dadelahi & Shaw, sp. n., L.eckerti Dadelahi & Shaw, sp. n., L.gauldilox Dadelahi & Shaw, sp. n., L.hansoni Dadelahi & Shaw, sp. n., L.kimbrellae Dadelahi & Shaw, sp. n., L.lorenae Dadelahi & Shaw, sp. n., L.munjuanae Dadelahi & Shaw, sp. n., L.ninae Dadelahi & Shaw, sp. n., L.pamelabbas Dadelahi & Shaw, sp. n., L.ronnae Dadelahi & Shaw, sp. n., L. rosanadana Dadelahi & Shaw, sp. n., L.schuttei Dadelahi & Shaw, sp. n., L.scottshawi Dadelahi, sp. n., L.shriekae Dadelahi & Shaw, sp. n., L.sohailae Dadelahi & Shaw, sp. n., L.sorayae Dadelahi & Shaw, sp. n., L.soussanae Dadelahi & Shaw, sp. n., L.stasia Dadelahi & Shaw, sp. n., L.strategeri Dadelahi & Shaw, sp. n., and L.thema Dadelahi & Shaw, sp. n. A key to Costa Rican species of Leptodrepana is provided. The flagellum of all female Leptodrepana described in this work is reduced to only 17 flagellomeres. This character state is also found in two North American species described by Shaw (1983), L.opuntiae Shaw and L.oriens Shaw. It is hypothesized that a female antenna with 17 flagellomeres is a synapomorphy for a species-group comprising all the Costa Rican Leptodrepana species as well as two of the Mexican and North American species, L.opuntiae and L.oriens.

AbstractGroup VII of North American Ips contains I. thomasi, new species, I. borealis Swaine and I. swainei R. Hopping. They are less than 4.0 mm. long and females have the front of the head or at least the vertex smooth and shining, impunctate, or with very fine sparse punctures; males are more coarsely granulate-punctate on the frons. The species are described and a key is given. All breed in Picea in Canada and northern United States.

AbstractMorphological, life history, and distributional data are presented for North American species of the subgenus Stygomomonia (sensu stricto) Szalay, 1943. Adults of the seven previously recognized species are redescribed, and deutonymphs of five of these species are described for the first time. Two species, S. (s.s.) neomexicana Cook and S. (s.s.) occidentalis Cook are substantially revised on the basis of an examination of the types and extensive series of newly collected specimens. Three new species are described, S. (s.s.) californiensis on the basis of deutonymphs and adults, and S. (s.s.) imamurai and S. (s.s.) cooki on the basis of adults. A new diagnosis of the subgenus is proposed and discussed, the relationships of the various species are discussed, and a key to deutonymphs and adults of North American species is presented. New distributional data are presented for all species, and dispersal patterns from Pleistocene refugia are discussed.
