AbstractThe systematic position of the genus Derops Sharp, 1889 (several species in the Palaearctic and Oriental regions) within the family Staphylinidae and its relationship to the genus Rimulincola Sanderson, 1947 (one species in the eastern Nearctic region) are discussed. The genus Derops is shown to be congeneric with Rimulincola, which becomes a junior synonym of Derops. — The genus Derops is removed from the subfamily Phloecharinae and reassigned to the subfamily Tachyporinae as a separate new tribe Deropsini. A key to the tribes of Tachyporinae is given. — Derops kasugaensis (Sawada, 1956) is placed in synonymy with Derops longicornis Sharp, 1889. The published data on the ecology of species of Derops are summarized and detailed ecological observations by the author on D. divalis (southern Illinois) andD. longicornis (Japan, Honshu) are given and compared. The disjunct (eastern and/or midwestern North America-southeastern Asia) type of geographical distribution of Derops is discussed and compared with similar distributions of the syrphid genus Pterallastes Loew (Diptera and some plant genera). This distribution pattern is considered to be unique within the order Coleoptera.

AbstractRamalina europaeaGasparyan, Sipman & Lücking andR. labiosorediataGasparyan, Sipman & Lücking, two species of theR. pollinariagroup, are described here as new to science.Ramalina europaea, widely distributed in Europe, can be distinguished by small, punctiform, often terminal soralia starting out on small, spine-like branchlets, whereasR. labiosorediatafrom North America differs fromR. pollinarias. str. andR. europaeain the almost exclusively terminal soralia formed on the tips of normal lobes, originating from the underside and becoming irregularly labriform. Morphological characters, chemistry, ecology and geographical distribution are discussed and a key to the species of theRamalina pollinariagroup is provided. The topology of a maximum likelihood tree based on ITS shows the presence of three well-supported clades, corresponding to the morphological differences of the three species. The status of several historical names variously placed in synonymy with or described as infraspecific entities ofR. pollinariais reassessed and a new neotype and an epitype are designated forLichen pollinarius, a neotype forL. squarrosus, making it a synonym ofR. farinacea, and lectotypes forR. pollinariavar.elatior, making it a synonym ofR. pollinarias. str., and for var.humilis, a taxon of yet unknown affinity.

I wish to draw particular attention to this genus and its allies. I have, in 1865, drawn a parallel between the group and the Hawk Moths, from the young stages and the peculiar pupation, and in my pamphlet on “the Hawk Moths of North America,” I hae discussed the probabilities of their relationship. But I here wish to point out that the group is American; that in America we may except to find old types among that portion of the fauna which is indigenous, pre-tertiary, and to this Citrheronia belongs.
