The milliped genus Pseudotremia Cope 1869 as it occurs in Virginia, USA, is reviewed, with new records and species, mostly from caves. Seventeen new species, Pseudotremia loomisi, P. contorta, P. cerberus, P. pomarium, P. orndorffi, P. peponocranium, P. glaber, P. fergusoni, P. jaculohamatum, P. fremens, P. hubbardi, P. ryensis, P. piscator, P. culveri, P. salfodina, P. johnholsingeri and P. inexpectata are described, for a total Virginia fauna of 25 species. Additional species are predicted to occur. New locality records are given for seven previously described species, Pseudotremia alecto Shear 1972, P. hobbsi Hoffman 1950, P. sublevis Loomis 1944, P. tuberculata Loomis 1939, P. momus Shear 1972, P. nodosa Loomis 1939, and P. valga Loomis 1943. Taxonomic characters useful in delimiting species of Pseudotremia are discussed.

The milliped genus Pseudotremia as it occurs in West Virginia, USA, is reviewed, with new records, mostly from caves. Four new species, Pseudotremia handi, P. kerboi, P. fongi and P. schneiderae are described, for a total known West Virginia fauna of 11 species, though additional species are predicted to occur. Pseudotremia species could be useful model organisms for the study of speciation and phylogeography in cave-dwelling animals.

One new species of Copris Geoffroy from Sonora and Chihuahua is described and illustrated: Copris warneri sp. nov. The new species is closely related to C. arizonensis Schaeffer. Drawings of the male and female and a distribution map are included. New distributional records for C. arizonensis Schaeffer and C. martinezi Matthews and Halffter are provided.

Since 1861, the date of Hagen's Synopsis, only three additional species of Chryospidæ have been recorded from the United States— one from Florida, one from Texas and one from California. During the past summer I received a short note from Mr. A. P. Morse, of Wellesley, Mass., enclosing a few specimens of Chrysopidæ which he thought might prove new to our collection.

In recent rearings by officers of the Entomological Branch several new species of Braconidae have been secured as well as records of species hitherto little known in Canada. The writer wishes to express his indebtedness to Dr. C. W. F. Muesebeck for his assistance in examining three of the species described below. Paratypes of all the species are deposited in the United States National Museum.

The genus Agrilus Curtis 1825 is reviewed for the Baja California peninsula of Mexico. Of the 25 species included, 11 are recorded here for the first time and four are previously unknown to science and described as new: Agrilus barri new species, A. interstitialis new species, A. vescivittatus new species, and A. argythamniae new species. Four additional species may be expected based on their occurrence just north of the border in the United States. Upon further study Agrilus auroguttatus Schaeffer 1905, revalidated status, is judged to be a separate species from A. coxalis Waterhouse 1889. Figures and a key to known and expected species are given, as well as a summary checklist.

New synonymies in Clytini: Clytopsis Casey, 1912 is synonymized with Ochraethes Chevrolat, 1860; and Ochraethes nigritus Bates, 1892 is synonymized with O. viridiventris (Chevrolat, 1860). New records: Neoclytus acteon (Chevrolat, 1860) (Clytini) is reported for the first time from Nicaragua; and Heterachthes hildebranti Galileo & Santos-Silva, 2016 (Neoibidionini, Compsina) is reported for the first time from the Mexican state of Jalisco. New species: Ochraethes nevadensis sp. nov. (Clytini) is described from the United States of America (Nevada); Psyrassa audureaui sp. nov. (Elaphidiini) is described from Mexico and Nicaragua; Oxylymma rileyi sp. nov. (Rhinotragini) is described from Panama.

We present novel rearing records of Agromyzidae (Diptera) from throughout the United States. We describe leaf mines or other larval habits for 27 species, plus five others whose identification is tentative, and another five that are identified only to genus due to the absence of male specimens. We review host and distribution data for the known species, reporting 26 new host species records (including the first rearing records for Phytomyza flexuosa Spencer, P. notopleuralis Spencer, and (tentatively identified) Ophiomyia frosti Spencer) and 25 new state records (including the first USA records for P. krygeri Hering, P. thermarum (Griffiths), and (tentatively identified) Liriomyza cracentis Lonsdale). We also describe and provide natural history information for the following 13 new species: Haplopeodes loprestii Eiseman & Lonsdale, Liriomyza euphorbivora Eiseman & Lonsdale, L. hypopolymnia Eiseman & Lonsdale, Melanagromyza arnoglossi Eiseman & Lonsdale, M. gentianivora Eiseman & Lonsdale, M. hieracii Eiseman & Lonsdale, M. rudbeckiae Eiseman & Lonsdale, M. urticae Eiseman & Lonsdale, M. verbenivora Eiseman & Lonsdale, Ophiomyia nabali Eiseman & Lonsdale, O. rugula Eiseman & Lonsdale, Phytomyza flavilonicera Eiseman & Lonsdale, and P. triostevena Eiseman & Lonsdale.

The conotylid milliped subfamily Idagoninae presently includes but a single genus and species, Idagona westcotti Buckett & Gardner, known from lava tubes in Idaho, USA. This study presents new records of the genus Idagona, extending its distribution into Utah and Nevada, its habitat records to limestone caves, and describes two additional species, Idagona lehmanensis, n. sp., from limestone caves in the Great Basin National Park in eastern Nevada, and Idagona jasperi, n. sp., from a high-altitude limestone cave in northern Utah.
