AbstractThe North American Aegeriidae are revised on the basis of the study of late-instar larvae of about 60 species. These species represent 20 genera in five tribes in two subfamilies: Bembeciini, Zenodoxini, Aegeriini and Melittiini in Zenodoxinae and Synanthedontini in Synanthedontinae. The presently recognized genera, Ramosia Engelhardt, Conopia Hübner and Thamnosphecia Spuler are reduced to synonyms of Synanthedon Hübner. Three new genera are defined by larval characters but are referred to only as Genera I, II and III. Larval characters for most of the species are discussed and illustrated; keys to species, genera and tribes are provided. Tribes, genera and most species are arranged in the text as nearly as possible according to their phylogenetic relationships as suggested by the larvae.

High Degree

The phylogenetic relationships of Glossiphoniidae, a leech family characterised by its high degree of parental care, were investigated with the combined use of morphological data and three molecular datasets. There was strong support for monophyly of most accepted genera in the group, many of which are consistent with eyespot morphology. The genera Desserobdella Barta & Sawyer, 1990 and Oligobdella Moore, 1918 are suppressed as junior synonyms of Placobdella Blanchard, 1893 and thus recognising each of Placobdella picta (Verrill, 1872) Moore, 1906, Placobdella phalera (Graf, 1899) Moore, 1906, and Placobdella biannulata (Moore, 1900), comb. nov. The species Glossiphonia elegans (Verrill, 1872) Castle, 1900 and Helobdella modesta (Verrill, 1872), comb. nov. are resurrected for the North American counterparts to European non-sanguivorous species. Glossphonia baicalensis (Stschegolew, 1922), comb. nov. is removed from the genus Torix Blanchard 1898 and Alboglossiphonia quadrata (Moore, 1949) Sawyer, 1986 is removed from the genus Hemiclepsis Vejdovsky, 1884. The biogeographic implications of the phylogenetic hypothesis are evaluated in the context of what is already known for vertebrate hosts and Tertiary continental arrangements.

The North American species of Trichoceridae belong to three genera, Diazosma Bergroth (subsinuata Alexander), Paracladura Brunetti (trichoptera Osten Sacken) and the dominant Trichocera Meigen, with numerous species, some of which are widely distributed throughout the Holarctic Region. The scope of the family, its phylogenetic relationships, and a key to the known genera, are all discussed in a recent paper by the writer. (The Trichoceridae of Australia; Proc. Linnean Soc. N. S. W., 51 : 299—304; 1926) and need not be considered further at this time.

Selection Of

The eurybioid asters Oreostemma , Herrickia , Eurybia , and Triniteurybia form a complex that is part of the North American clade of tribe Astereae. They comprise 31 species of perennial herbs that are widely distributed on the continent. Previous analyses had shown poor resolution among the four genera and among the species, particularly within Eurybia (23 spp.), which includes diploids and polyploids. We investigated phylogenetic relationships within the group using the nuclear ribosomal ITS and ETS regions, in separate and combined parsimony and Bayesian analyses. We detected incongruence between the ITS and ETS regions when polyploids were included, and so only diploids were considered in the combined analyses. Eurybia pygmaea (Lindl.) G.L. Nesom is confirmed as a member of Symphyotrichum ; Eurybia is monophyletic once this species is re-classified. The eurybioids form a paraphyletic grade with Oreostemma, sister to the remaining taxa, followed in succession by Herrickia , Eurybia , and Triniteurybia , and with the latter genus sister to subtribe Machaerantherinae. Thus the xeric Machaerantherinae (x = 6, 5, 4) is nested within the grade of mesic eurybioids (x = 9). Although largely grouping together, the polyploid taxa of Eurybia apparently do not constitute a clade and their relationships to the diploid taxa and to each other could not be assessed further. Among the diploids, two clades emerge: one including the western Eurybia integrifolia (Nutt.) G.L. Nesom and Eurybia sibirica (L.) G.L. Nesom, and the southeastern Eurybia eryngiifolia (Torr. & A. Gray) G.L. Nesom; and a second including the western Eurybia radulina (A. Gray) G.L. Nesom, the eastern cordate-leaved (sect. Eurybia) and the narrow-leaved, mostly coastal plain species of Eurybia. Our analyses, therefore, do not support the current classifications of Eurybia.
