Lepidoptera Noctuidae

The genus Rhabdorthodesgen. n. is described for three previously unnamed noctuid moths from the mountains of south-western United States and Mexico. It is assigned to subfamily Noctuinae, tribe Eriopygini. Rhabdorthodespattersonisp. n. from the United States and Rhabdorthodesdurangosp. n. and Rhabdorthodespetersonisp. n. from Mexico are described. These moths are small, dull gray brown, and lack highly diagnostic wing markings, but are distinctive structurally. The adults and genitalia of both sexes are illustrated and distribution maps are presented. Two species eponyms honor persons who have facilitated the study and enjoyment of moths in North America by creating moth-specific websites.

Three New Species

AbstractThe genus Ericydeus Pascoe (Polydrosinae: Naupactini) distributed throughout the United States of America up to Argentina is revised and a cladistic analysis including 16 species is conducted. Three new species are described: E. bahiensis, E. argentinensis and E. cupreolus. Ericydeus humeralis Hustache is synonymized under E. nigropunctatus (Chevrolat); and E. modestus viridans (Boheman) and E. modestus duodecimpunctatus (Dalla-Torre, Emden & Emden) are elevated to species rank. Other valid species are: E. hancocki (Kirby), E. schoenherri (Perty), E. sedecimpunctatus (Linnaeus), E. yucatanus (Champion), E. roseiventris (Champion), E. quadripunctatus (Champion), E. modestus (Gyllenhal), E. forreri (Champion), E. lautus (LeConte) and E. placidus (Horn). In the cladogram obtained the species from South America gather in a clade (E. argentinensis, E. sedecimpunctatus, E. nigropunctatus, E. schoenherri, E. hancocki, and E. bahiensis) and the species from Central and North America form a separate clade (E. yucatanus, E. roseiventris - E. quadripunctatus, E. cupreolus, E. viridans - E. modestus, E. duodecimpunctatus, E. forreri, E. lautus - E. placidus). The character evolution follows a southern-northern direction. The paper includes a redescription of the genus, redescriptions or descriptions of its 16 species, a dichotomous key, habitus photographs, drawings of diagnostic structures, distribution maps, a cladogram, and a discussion of the phylogeny and distribution of the genus.

Three New Species

Leptographium species are most commonly known as anamorphs of Ophiostoma and are usually associated with insects that infest trees. Three new species of Leptographium were isolated from conifer roots in various parts of the United States. These three species differ from described species both morphologically and on the basis of their allozyme banding patterns. Leptographium albopini occurs both in the eastern and western United States on white pine hosts, while Leptographium douglasii occurs commonly in the western United Sates and has been found only on Pseudotsuga menziesii. Leptrographium neomexicanus occurs in the southwestern United States and has thus far only been collected from Pinus ponderosa. Key words : Leptographium albopini, Leptographium douglasii, Leptographium neomexicanus, Pinus, Pseudotsuga, systematics, root infesting insects.

A New Species

Several biologically significant domes of pachycephalosaurid dinosaurs are described and figured. One unusual specimen from the Oldman Formation (Upper Cretaceous) of Alberta is placed into a new genus and another specimen from the same formation is assigned to a new species of Stegoceras. Domes referable to Stegoceras sp. (Judith River and Hell Creek Formations) are the first conclusive evidence of the presence of this genus in the United States. A large dome from the Oldman Formation of Alberta is referred to Pachycephalosaurus; this specimen is the oldest described to date and is the first record of this genus in Canada.Endocranial casts of Yaverlandia bitholus and Stegoceras validus are described along with a discussion of endocranial trends in pachycephalosaurids. The separation between the cerebrum and cerebellum found in Yaverlandia, and typical of ornithopods in general, is lacking in Stegoceras and Pachycephalosaurus. The loss of this separation may be the result of head butting.The family Pachycephalosauridae possesses sufficient ornithopod characters to justify their retention in that suborder. It does, however, represent an aberrant side branch of ornithopod evolution, which can best be visualized taxonomically by placing this family into a separate infraorder within the Ornithopoda.

Mexican Species

Four new Mexican species are described: Ironeus curoei from Guerrero state, Psyrassa garciai from Tamaulipas state, Psyrassa belangeri from Guerrero state (Elaphidiini, Cerambycinae); and Cirrhicera bankoi from Chiapas state (Hemilophini, Lamiinae). A new Hesperophanini genus, Makromastax, and a new combination, Makromastax mandibularis are proposed. The current key to the Mexican genera of Hesperophanini is updated to include the new genus. Haplidus nitidus Chemsak and Linsley, 1963 is proposed as synonyms of Haplidus mandibularis Chemsak and Linsley, 1963. The male of Eburia (E.) girouxae is illustrated by the first time and Anelaphus hirtus is redescribed and figured. The geographical distribution of 9 species is expanded, the type locality of Osmidus guttatus is corrected, and Neocompsa intrincata is excluded from the fauna of the United States of America.

Herein, the cleptoparasitic (cuckoo) bee genusEpeolus(Hymenoptera: Apidae) is revised for species occurring in North America, north of Mexico, and an updated checklist of all species known to occur in Canada and the United States of America is provided with comprehensive descriptions, diagnoses, and a single dichotomous key (using the same couplets for both sexes) to aid in their identification. To increase their recognition among North American naturalists, English common names are also proposed for all North AmericanEpeolus. A total of 43 species is confirmed as present in the region, 15 of which are newly recognized. The following new species are proposed based on unique morphological (and in most cases also molecular) attributes:E.andriyisp. n.,E.attenboroughisp. n.,E.axillarissp. n.,E.basilisp. n.,E.brumleyisp. n.,E.chamaesarachaesp. n.,E.deyrupisp. n.,E.diadematussp. n.,E.ferrariisp. n.,E.gibbsisp. n.,E.inornatussp. n.,E.nebulosussp. n.,E.packerisp. n.,E.splendidussp. n., andE.tessierissp. n.Of the 15, six (E.axillaris,E.brumleyi,E.chamaesarachae,E.diadematus,E.splendidus, andE.tessieris) were identified as new species under different names (nomina nuda) in an M.Sc. thesis by Richard L. Brumley in 1965, but until now they have not been formally described. Detailed morphological comparisons with some evidence from DNA barcoding support the following synonymies, one of whichCwas first proposed by Brumley (1965): a)E.melectimimusCockerell and Sandhouse,syn.n., underE.asperatusCockerell; b)E.crucisCockerell,syn.n., underE.compactusCresson; c)E.mesillaepalmarumLinsley,syn.n., underE.mesillae(Cockerell); and d)E.weemsiMitchell,syn.n., and e)E.vernalisMitchell,syn.n., underE.ilicisMitchell. Only one member of the almost entirely Neotropical “Trophocleptria group” (EpeolusbifasciatusCresson) is confirmed as occurring north of Mexico, and is widespread East of the Rocky Mountains. Known floral associations are indicated for each species, as are suspected or known host species ofColletesLatreille. Evidence is presented that suggests further investigation into the possible synonymy ofColleteswickhamiTimberlake underC.scopiventerSwenk is warranted.

Waynokiops dentatogriphus, new genus and new species (Ephemeroptera: Baetidae), is described from nymphs collected from seven lakes and reservoirs in the eastern United States of America, specifically from the states of Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana and Arkansas (type locale), during sampling for the USEPA National Lakes Assessment. The lateral abdominal expansions and the dorsal abdominal armature of the new genus are unique among Cloeon complex genera. Abdominal tergal projections are unusual for a small minnow mayfly from lentic habitats.

AbstractThe Nearctic species of Dicraeus Loew (Diptera: Chloropidae) are revised. Eight species are recognised in North America: Dicraeus curtisinew species is described from the western United States of America; the Palaearctic species D. vagans (Meigen) is newly recorded in North America; D. elongatus Sabrosky; D. fennicus Duda; D. incongruus Aldrich; D. ingratus (Loew); D. tibialis (Macquart); and D. wilburi Sabrosky are redescribed. All species are described and illustrated and a key to species is provided. Dicraeus aberrans Sabrosky, described from New Mexico, United States of America, is transferred to the genus Notaulacella Enderlein as Notaulacella aberransnew combination. This represents the first Nearctic record of the previously Neotropical genus Notaulacella.

Pentecostalism as a new wave of Christianity became more pronounced in 1970's and beyond in Nigeria. Since then scholars of Religion, History, Sociology and Political Science have shown keen interest in the study of the Churches known as Pentecostals because of the impact they have made on the society. The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) was established by Pastor Josiah Akindayomi in Lagos,Nigeria in 1952. After his demise, he was succeeded by Pastor Adeboye Adejare Enock. The problem of study of this research was an examination of the expansion of the Redeemed Christian Church of God to North America, Caribbean and Canada. The missionary activities of the church could be regarded as a reversed mission in the propagation of Christianity by Africans in the Diaspora. The methodology adopted was historical. The primary and secondary sources of information were also germane in the research. The findings of the research indicated that the Redeemed Christian Church of God was founded in North America by Immigrants from Nigeria. Pastor Adeboye Enock Adejare had much influence on the Church within and outside the country because of his charisma. The Church has become a place of refuge for many immigrants. They are also contributing to the economy of the United States of America. However, the members of the Church were faced with some challenges, such as security scrutiny by the security agencies. In conclusion, the RCCGNA was a denomination that had been accepted and embraced by Nigerians and African immigrants in the United States of America.
