A New Species

The microgastrine braconid wasp genus Teremys was proposed by Mason based on the rare new species, T. masneri, which is apparently restricted to eastern North America. In the present paper Teremys hanniae n. sp. is described from the Neotropical region, and an illustrated key to the two known species is presented. The relationships and taxonomic status of the genus are briefly discussed but not yet fully clarified.

A New Species

Cryptonella? cailliaudi Barrois, 1889, from the Lower Devonian of the Armorican Massif, is tentatively assigned to the athyridid brachiopod genus Planalvus Carter, thus far known only from the Lower Carboniferous of eastern North America. In addition, a new species, Planalvus rufus, is described from the Bois-Roux Formation (Pragian) of Brittany, France. These French species are small brachiopods with complex spiralial and jugal structures, which permit assignment to the order Athyridida.

A New Species

Millipedes of the genus Apheloria Chamberlin, 1921 occur in temperate broadleaf forests throughout eastern North America and west of the Mississippi River in the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains. Chemically defended with toxins made up of cyanide and benzaldehyde, the genus is part of a community of xystodesmid millipedes that compose several Müllerian mimicry rings in the Appalachian Mountains. We describe a model species of these mimicry rings, Apheloria polychroma n. sp., one of the most variable in coloration of all species of Diplopoda with more than six color morphs, each associated with a separate mimicry ring.

AbstractEupontania Zinovjev, 1985, originally described as a subgenus of Pontania, is treated as a distinct genus of the subtribe Euurina Vikberg, which consists of the genera Euura Newman, Eupontania Zinovjev (stat. n.), Pontania A. Costa and Phyllocolpa Benson. Separate keys are given to distinguish these genera and the species-groups of Pontania and Phyllocolpa, and for 11 species of the Pontania crassispinu-group. A new species, Pontania rotundidentata sp. n. is described from eastern North America. The lectotypes are designated for P. crassispina (Thomson) and P. joergenseni Enslin. Pontania devincta MacGillivray (syn. n.) is treated as a synonym of P. populi Marlatt.

A New Species

The ‘clover’ mite, Bryobia praetiosa Koch, has long been known to be a complex of closely related species or biological races differing greatly in host range, life-history, and habits. Morgan and Anderson (1957) reviewed the problem and described the form occurring on fruit trees in British Columbia as a new species, B. arborea, to be known as the brown mite, and these authors (Anderson and Morgan, 1958) also published a detailed study of the life-histories and habits of this species and of the true clover mite, B. praetiosa. Although the presence of Bryobia mites on fruit trees in Eastern North America, including Ontario, has long been recognized, they have seldom received more than casual mention and no extensive study of their biology in this area appears to have been undertaken. The species has little economic importance in Ontario (Putman and Herne, 1959).
