Mite Genus

The definition of the mite genus Acalvolia is revised. A new species, Acalvolia americana, with conidia of Cladosporium sp. in its gut, intercepted on orange from the United States is described. Currently the genus consists of only one species, and the new species is distinguished from that species by having smooth supracoxal setae, longer setae sci (ratio sce: sci = 2.5–2.7), and longer dorsal idiosomal setae c1, d1 and e1 (reaching to or overlapping the bases of setae in the next row).

A New Species

Four new species of Gyrophaena Mannerheim, 1830 and one of Phanerota Casey, 1906 from southern states of the USA are described and illustrated: G. affinifera Enushchenko, sp.n. (Alabama), G. fontanedai Enushchenko, sp.n. (Alabama, Florida), G. marjakata Enushchenko, sp.n. (Arizona), G. velada Enushchenko, sp.n. (Arizona), and Ph. paradissimilis Enushchenko, sp.n. (Florida). A new species group is erected, the nitidula-group, containing G. nitidula (Gyllenhal 1810), G. pseudonitidula Semenov 2015 and G. fontanedai Enushchenko, sp.n., and a key for the species of this group is given.

A New Species

AbstractThe order Intejocerida is an enigmatic, short-lived cephalopod taxon known previously only from Early–Middle Ordovician beds of Siberia and the United States. Here we report a new genus, Cabaneroceras, and a new species, C. aznari, from Middle Ordovician strata of central Spain. This finding widens the paleogeographic range of the order toward high-paleolatitudinal areas of peri-Gondwana. A curved conch, characteristic for the new genus, was previously unknown from members of the Intejocerida.UUID: http://zoobank.org/21f0a09c-5265-4d29-824b-6b105d36b791

State Records

We present rearing records of Agromyzidae (Diptera) from five years of collecting throughout the United States. We review host and distribution data, and describe leaf mines, for 93 species, plus 28 others that could not be confidently identified in the absence of male specimens. We report 147 new host species records, including the first rearing records for Agromyza bispinata Spencer, A. diversa Johnson, A. parca Spencer, A. pudica Spencer, A. vockerothi Spencer, Calycomyza michiganensis Steyskal, Ophiomyia congregata (Malloch), and Phytomyza aldrichi Spencer. Phytomyza anemones Hering and (tentatively identified) Cerodontha (Dizygomyza) iraeos (Robineau-Desvoidy) are new to North America; Agromyza albitarsis Meigen, Amauromyza shepherdiae Sehgal, Aulagromyza populicola (Walker), Liriomyza orilliensis Spencer, Phytomyza linnaeae (Griffiths), P. solidaginivora Spencer, and P. solidaginophaga Sehgal are new to the USA. We also present confirmed USA records for Calycomyza menthae Spencer (previous records were based only on leaf mines), Ophiomyia maura (Meigen) (reported from the USA in older literature but deleted from the fauna in the most recent revision (Spencer & Steyskal 1986)), and Phytomyza astotinensis Griffiths and P. thalictrivora Spencer (previously only tentatively recorded from the USA). We provide 111 additional new state records. We describe the following 30 new species: Agromyza fission, A. soka, Melanagromyza palmeri, Ophiomyia euthamiae, O. mimuli, O. parda, Calycomyza artemisivora, C. avira, C. eupatoriphaga, C. vogelmanni, Cerodontha (Dizygomyza) edithae, Cer. (D.) feldmani, Liriomyza ivorcutleri, L. valerianivora, Phytomyza actaeivora, P. aesculi, P. confusa, P. doellingeriae, P. erigeronis, P. hatfieldae, P. hydrophyllivora, P. palmeri, P. palustris, P. sempervirentis, P. tarnwoodensis, P. tigris, P. triangularidis, P. vancouveriella, P. verbenae, and P. ziziae.
