Die neuweltlichen Arten der Gattung Stiphrosoma Czerny, 1928 werden revidiert. Vierzehn Arten werden festgestellt, darunter der Gattungstypus, S. sabulosum (Haliday, 1837), sowie 13 neue Arten: S. pectinatum sp. n. (Kanada: Ontario, Quebec; USA: District of Columbia, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia), S. lucipetum sp. n. (Bahamas; Belize; Costa Rica; Kuba; USA: Florida), S. pullum sp. n. (Costa Rica), S. setipleurum sp. n. (Kanada: Neubraunschweig, Neuschottland, Ontario, Quebec; USA: Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia), S. balteatum sp. n. (Kanada: Ontario, Quebec; USA: District of Columbia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Tennessee, Wisconsin), S. hirtum sp. n. (Kanada: Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, Saskatchewan; USA: Colorado, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, Utah), S. artum sp. n. (Kanada: Alberta, Saskatchewan; USA: North Dakota), S. helvum sp. n. (Kanada: Alberta; USA: Montana), S. stylatum sp. n. (Kanada: Manitoba, Ontario; USA: Minnesota, Utah), S. minor sp. n. (USA: Arizona), S. vittatum sp. n. (USA: Kalifornien), S. sororium sp. n. (Mexiko) und S. humerale sp. n. (Kanada: Alberta, Britisch Kolumbien, Manitoba, Neufundland, Neuschottland, Ontario, Quebec, Saskatchewan; USA: Michigan, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, Washington; in der Paläarktis: - Lettland; Nord-Korea; Russland: Sibirien). Alle Arten werden beschrieben unter Abbildung der männlichen und weiblichen Genitalien sowie anderer diagnostischer Merkmale, und ihre Verwandtschaftsverhältnisse, Biologie und Verbreitung werden diskutiert. Das Vorkommen von S. sabulosum in der nearktischen Region wird erörtert aber ihre vermutete Einschleppung aus Europa ist unbewiesen. Die holarktische Verbreitung von S. humerale wird als natürlich erachtet; ostpaläarktische Populationen von S. humerale wurden früher irrtümlich für S. laetum (Meigen, 1830) gehalten. Flügelpolymorphismus wird von zwei neuen Arten beschrieben, S. hirtum sp. n. und S. artum sp. n., sowie von S. sabulosum. Eine neue Gattungsdiagnose für Stiphrosoma wird erstellt unter Berücksichtigung aller bekannten Arten, und die Verwandtschaftsverhältnisse der Gattung werden diskutiert. Ein Schlüssel für alle Arten von Stiphrosoma weltweit wird vorgestellt.StichwörterTaxonomy, Stiphrosoma, generic diagnosis, 13 new species, key, relationships, biology, distribution, wing polymorphism, New World.Nomenklatorische Handlungenartum Roháček & Barber, 2005 (Stiphrosoma), spec. n.balteatum Roháček & Barber, 2005 (Stiphrosoma), spec. n.helvum Roháček & Barber, 2005 (Stiphrosoma), spec. n.hirtum Roháček & Barber, 2005 (Stiphrosoma), spec. n.humerale Roháček & Barber, 2005 (Stiphrosoma), spec. n.lucipetum Roháček & Barber, 2005 (Stiphrosoma), spec. n.minor Roháček & Barber, 2005 (Stiphrosoma), spec. n.pectinatum Roháček & Barber, 2005 (Stiphrosoma), spec. n.pullum Roháček & Barber, 2005 (Stiphrosoma), spec. n.setipleurum Roháček & Barber, 2005 (Stiphrosoma), spec. n.sororium Roháček & Barber, 2005 (Stiphrosoma), spec. n.stylatum Roháček & Barber, 2005 (Stiphrosoma), spec. n.vittatum Roháček & Barber, 2005 (Stiphrosoma), spec. n.

Nearctic species of the genus Geostiba Thomson, 1858 are revised. Redescription and illustrations are provided for distinguishing the genus Geostiba from other aleocharine genera. Six new species of Geostiba are described (G. (Sibiota) crepusculigena Gusarov, sp. n. from Tennessee, G. (S.) pluvigena Gusarov, sp. n. from North Carolina, G. (S.) coeligena Gusarov, sp. n. and G. (S.) nebuligena Gusarov, sp. n. from Tennessee and North Carolina, G. (S.) appalachigena Gusarov, sp. n. from West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Maine, Wisconsin and Québec; G. (S.) silvigena Gusarov, sp. n. from California). Nine species are redescribed (G. (S.) alticola Lohse & Smetana, 1988, G. (S.) balsamensis Pace, 1997, G. (S.) bicarinata Lohse & Smetana, 1988, G. (S.) graveyardensis Pace, 1997 and G. (S.) nubigena Lohse & Smetana, 1988 known from North Carolina, G. (S.) carteriensis Pace, 1997 and G. (S.) nimbicola Lohse & Smetana, 1988 known from Tennessee and North Carolina, G. (S.) impressula (Casey, 1906) known from Oregon, and G. (s. str.) circellaris (Gravenhorst, 1806) introduced from Europe to Newfoundland). A key for identification of Nearctic species of Geostiba is provided. Geostiba impressula (Casey, 1906) is removed from synonymy with G. circellaris. Ditroposipalia Scheerpeltz, 1951 is placed in synonymy with Sibiota Casey, 1906 (a valid subgenus of Geostiba), Geostiba fossata (Casey, 1910) with G. impressula (Casey, 1906), Sipaliella Casey, 1911 with Meotica Mulsant & Rey, 1873 (a valid genus in tribe Oxypodini) and Sipalia (Sipaliella) filaria Casey, 1911 with Meotica pallens (Redtenbacher, 1849). Tylosipalia Scheerpeltz, 1951 is confirmed to be a synonym of Typhlusida Casey, 1906 (a valid subgenus of Geostiba). The lectotype of Sipalia fossata Casey, 1906 is designated. The geographical distribution of Geostiba in the Southern Appalachians is discussed.

I am provoked to write this letter after perusing the recently-arrived January 1966 number of Pediatrics. Just because you Americans were plunged into blackness as the result of a minor electrical switch failure NORTH of Niagara Falls is no reason to darken Canadian-American relations as well as the affairs of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Quebec is the largest province of Canada, covering an area of 594,860 square miles (larger than a combination of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, with the District of Columbia thrown in for good measure).
