In 2006, 10-year studies of the moths in two park units of the U.S. National Park Service in southern New Mexico were initiated: White Sands National Monument in Otero County, New Mexico, USA; and Carlsbad Caverns National Park, in Eddy County, New Mexico, USA. Two new species of Cochylini, Eugnosta brownana Metzler & Forbes and Cochylis yinyangana Metzler, are described. Adults and male and female genitalia of both species are illustrated.

A New Species

Stelis excentrica, a new species endemic to the Cauca slope of the western Andes, municipality of Cali, Valle del Cauca, Colombia, is described and illustrated. It was found in the northern part of the Farallones de Cali National Park, in the vicinity of the protected area “El Danubio” administered by the Cali mayoralty. Stelis excentrica is similar to Stelis gigantissima from Ecuador but differs in the ocher-green flowers (vs. dark purple), the reniform petals (vs. flabellate petals), subquadrate lip with a minute apicule (vs. subcuneate without apicule). Reaching up to 30.6 mm from the apex of the dorsal sepal to the apex of the lateral sepal, Stelis excentrica probably has the largest flowers reported in any member of Stelis subgen. Stelis. Its 60 cm long inflorescence is only rivaled by that of Stelis gigantissima. Ecological notes, in situ photographs, typus illustration, maps, and a composite plate are provided. Key Words: biggest flower, Farallones de Cali, Stelis gigantissima, taxonomy

Mysmena quebecana, a new species of the spider family Mysmenidae is here described. Mysmena quebecana was discovered in a spider bio-inventory survey of the Yamaska National Park (Québec, Canada). We therefore report the first occurrence of the family in this province, as well as the first member of the genus Mysmena for continental North America.
