The Neotropical species of the genus Lithocharodes were studied. A total of 26 new species were found. These are: L. aculeata spec. nov., L. ashei spec. nov., L. bierigi spec. nov., L. bicornis spec. nov., L. boliviana spec. nov., L. brooksi spec. nov., L. compacta spec. nov., L. curtipennis spec. nov., L. denticulata spec. nov., L. dubiosa spec. nov., L. ecuadoriensis spec. nov., L. elongata spec. nov., L. hanagarthi spec. nov., L. karinae spec. nov., L. katharinae spec. nov., L. lescheni spec. nov., L. nigerrima spec. nov., L. nigrita spec. nov., L. obscura spec. nov., L. pampana spec. nov., L. peruana spec. nov., L. silvicola spec. nov., L. somoleptoides spec. nov., L. surinamensis spec. nov., L. triangula spec. nov., and L. verhaaghi spec. nov. The following species described under Lithocharodes were transferred to the genus Somoleptus Sharp, 1885: S. cavicola (Blackwelder, 1943) (comb. nov.) and S. strigulata (Blackwelder 1943) (comb. nov.). The following four species described under the genus Somoleptus were transferred to Lithocharodes: L. bicolor (Sharp, 1885) (new combination) and S. gracilis Sharp, 1885 (new synonymy), which is conspecific with L. bicolor; L. clavicornis (Erichson, 1839) described as Leptacinus clavicornis and transferred to Somoleptus by Sharp (1885) (new combination); L. elegans (Sharp, 1885) (new combination); L. gracilis, L. rambouseki, L. cameroni (new synonymies) are conspecific with L. fusciventris Sharp, 1885. New records from the West Indies and Central America were given for L. floridanus (LeConte, 1880) and L. nigripennis (LeConte, 1863). Lectotypes were designated for L. fusciventris, L. gracilis, L. fuscula, and L. spinigera.

Quantitative collecting efforts over the last several decades in Costa Rica have resulted in many new species of insects. The Arthropods of La Selva projects included collecting from a typical lowland Neotropical forest and up an altitudinal transect, and has provided many valuable samples of insects, spiders and mites potentially new to science. We describe 18 new species in the bark beetle genusScolytodesFerrari, 1867, 14 of which were collected during this project:S.angulusJordal & Kirkendall,sp. nov.,S.sufflatusJordal & Kirkendall,sp. nov.,S.squamatifronsJordal & Kirkendall,sp. nov.,S.comosusJordal & Kirkendall,sp. nov.,S.spatulatusJordal & Kirkendall,sp. nov.,S.seriatusJordal & Kirkendall,sp. nov.,S.profundusJordal & Kirkendall,sp. nov.,S.catinusJordal & Kirkendall,sp. nov.,S.fimbriatusJordal & Kirkendall,sp. nov.,S.sulcifronsJordal & Kirkendall,sp. nov.,S.planifronsJordal & Kirkendall,sp. nov.,S.porosusJordal & Kirkendall,sp. nov.,S.mundusJordal & Kirkendall,sp. nov.,S.callosusJordal & Kirkendall,sp. nov.,S.parvipilusJordal & Kirkendall,sp. nov.,S.plenusJordal & Kirkendall,sp. nov.,S.nigerJordal & Kirkendall,sp. nov., andS.simplexJordal & Kirkendall,sp. nov.One species,ScolytodesminutissimusSchedl, 1952, is redescribed to match the holotype. We give new Costa Rica records forS.costabilisWood, 1974, which is the correct name forS.obesusWood, 1975 (syn. nov.). We report Costa Rica as a new country record for six species:ScolytodesclusiacolensWood, 1967,S.crinalisWood, 1978,S.culcitatus(Blandford, 1897),S.libidusWood, 1978,S.reticulatus(Wood, 1961), andS.spadix(Blackman, 1943). From a closely related genus, we provide the first record for Central America (and only the second collection) ofPycnarthrumfulgidumWood, 1977.

A New Species

The new species Dicranocentrus paramoense, D. bidentatus, Heteromurus (Heteromurtrella) echinatus and H. (H.) pruinosus are described from specimens collected in the State of Mérida, Venezuela. A new species of each genus comes from a cloud forest near the city of Mérida and a new species of each taxon was collected in paramos northeast of Mérida. Congeneric species are phyletically very near and their closest relatives live in Central America and the West Indies. Dicranocentrus bidentatus is the sole species of its genus with only two teeth (the basal pair) along the inner margin of the unguis. Heteromurus (Heteromurtrella) echinatus is unique among members of its subgenus in possessing dental spines, although some individuals lack these structures. This is the first record of such intraspecific variation. Four tables detail variations of a number of characters and 41 figures complement the text.

Fourteen species of Euscelus Schoenherr are recognized from the West Indies: E. armatus (Gyllenhal), E. scutellatus (Klug), E. dentipes (Fabricius), E. angulosus (Gyllenhal), E. scrobiculatus Voss, E. uviferae Marshall, E. pulchellus (Suffrian), E. cribrarius (Olivier), E. biguttatus (Fabricius), E. sexmaculatus (Chevrolat), E. aureolus (Gyllenhal), E. haitensis new species from Haiti, E. postoculidens new species and E. dominicanus new species from the Dominican Republic. Four previously described eusceline species from the West Indies are relegated to synonymy: Euscelus cancellatus Voss, new synonymy; Euscelus callosipennis Voss, new synonymy; Euscelus coccolobae (Wolcott), new synon- ymy and Emphyleuscelus cubensis Janczyk, new synonymy. Specimens were unavailable for Attelabus canaliculatus Olivier, Attelabus spinifex Olivier and Attelabus fornicatus Olivier and they are not included. Lectotypes are designated for E. uviferae and E. pulchellus. A key separating West Indian euscelines is provided and the species are covered in standard taxonomic fashion including habitus images and aedeagal illustrations.KEY WORDS: Attelabidae, Leaf rollers, Euscelus, West Indies

Two New Species

Examination of a limited number of specimens of Leptoconops occurring in America indicates that at least several undescribed species exist in North and Central America and the West Indies. Paucity of material, however, prevents any detailed study of the group for the regions mentioned. Two members of the genus have, through their biting tendencies, made themselves decidedly obnoxious in the sections where they occur.

The genus Aristelliger comprises seven species of which six inhabit the West Indies, and one occurs in Central America and satellite islands. For the first time, the genus is reported from Cuba, and a new species (Aristelliger reyesi sp. n.) is described from that island. The new taxon has affinities with the smaller species of the genus (subgenus Aristelligella): A. expectatus, A. cochranae, and A. barbouri. It differs from them in color pattern and other morphological characters.

AbstractThe species of the tribe Blondeliini of North and Central America and the West Indies (including Trinidad) are grouped into 55 genera. Included is an illustrated key to the genera, a diagnosis of each genus, a list of all generic synonyms, and a taxonomic catalogue of all species recorded from these regions, including their New World synonyms. Type status, type locality, and depository of primary type material is given for each nominal species. One hundred and seventy-seven new generic-level synonyms, 67 new species-level synonyms, and 321 new combinations are proposed. Didyma fuliginipennis Wulp, belonging to the tribe Eryciini, was assigned to the genus Ametadoria (see under lectotype designation of Didyma volucris Wulp). Three new species are described: Ligeria latigena n. sp., from Yukon; Policheta crassisetosa n. sp., from Oregon; and Steleoneura novemmaculata n. sp., from Yukon, Banks Island, and Victoria Island. Lectotypes are designated for 93 nominal species.

AbstractThe infuscatus group comprises 20 species and 2 subspecies. The group is wholly American, the main habitats occurring in the dry parts of the U.SA. and Mexico. Only Philodromus infuscatus Keyserling reaches Canada, while a few species are neotropical. P. droseroides Schick is divided into P. d. droseroides of California and P. d. arizonensis ssp. n. of Arizona. Similarly P. infuscatus is divided into P. i. infuscatus of eastern U.S.A. and P. i. utus Chamberlin of western U.S.A. The following are described as new species: P. pratarioides, P. harrietae, P. mississippianus, P. separatus, P. tortus, P. probolus, P. infectus, P. longiductus, P. breviductus, P. pseudanomalus, P. mexicanus, and P. cavatus. P. dispar Walckenaer, a species introduced from the Old World, is the sole American representative of the dispar group.
