Six new species and one new subspecies of Noctuidae are described from western United States of America and Baja California, Mexico:DolocuculliapooleiCrabo & Hammond,sp. n.(Cuculliinae),PlagiomimicusyakamaCrabo & Wikle,sp. n.,PlagiomimicusyakamamojaveWikle & Crabo,ssp. n.,PlagiomimicusincomitatusMustelin,sp. n.(Amphipyrinae),SympistisferrirenaCrabo,sp. n.(Oncocnemidinae),AseptisharpiCrabo & Mustelin,sp. n., andHypotrixlactomellisWikle & Crabo,sp. n.(Noctuinae). The adults and genitalia of these species are described, illustrated, and compared to similar related moths. The larvae of thePlagiomimicustepperispecies group, unknown previously, are reported to feed on several species ofBrickelliaEll. (Asteraceae). The early stages ofPlagiomimicusyakamamojaveare described and late instars are illustrated.

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.

Significant Underestimation

The endemic North American stag beetle tribe Platyceroidini Paulsen & Hawks (Coleoptera: Lucanidae: Lucaninae) is reviewed. All primary types were studied and the existing generic and species concepts are subsequently corrected. Based on study of the male genitalia and external morphology, the previously monotypic genus Platyceropsis Benesh is reduced to subgeneric status under Platyceroides Benesh, new status, and the species Platyceroides laticollis (Casey) and Platyceroides keeni (Casey) new combination are transferred to this subgenus. Praocerus, new subgenus, is created to contain the species Platyceroides latus (Fall), and P. viriditinctus (Benesh). In the nominal subgenus, confusion has resulted from the historic misapplication of the oldest available name, Platyceroides agassii (LeConte), resulting in significant underestimation of the number of extant taxa. Lectotypes are designated for four species-group names (listed in their original combinations): Platycerus latus Fall, Platycerus opacus Fall, Platycerus pacificus Casey, and Platycerus parvicollis Casey. Four new species (Platyceroides barrae, P. infernus, P. pampinatus, and P. umpquus) are described from California and Oregon, United States of America. The following species are valid and are removed from synonymy with P. agassii: P. pacificus (Casey), revised status, and P. californicus (Casey), revised status. The synonym Platycerus parvicollis Casey is transferred from Platyceroides agassii to P. californicus, new synonymy. With the addition of four new species and the correction of the mistaken synonymies the total number of species in the tribe Platyceroidini is now 16.

A new lumbriculid worm, Rhynchelmis aleutensis, is described from streams on Adak Island, Alaska. The new species does not resemble other Alaskan or Siberian Rhynchelmis species. The paired spermathecal diverticula and the morphology of the male pores and atria suggest that it is more closely related to a species group known only from the western United States, south of Canada. The latter group has been associated with Sutroa Eisen, 1888.

Two species of Pyrenomycetes associated with resinous exudates of conifers are illustrated and described in the genus Strigopodia Bat.; the phragmoconidial and phialidic states are recognized as belonging to the form genera Hormisciella Bat. and Capnophialophora Hughes respectively.The type species of Strigopodia, S. piceae Bat., is included as S. resinae (Sacc. & Bres.) n. comb., syn. Capnodium resinae Sacc. & Bres. In its mycelial state it was described as Racodium resinae Fr. β piceum Pers. Its phragmoconidial state is identified with Helminthosporium resinaceum M. C. Cooke, syn. H. resinae Bres., and Clasterosporium resinae Rilstone. This species occurs in Eastern United States of America (Maine, New Hampshire) and in Europe.A new species S. batistae is recorded from Western United States of America (Calif., Wash., Idaho) and Western Canada (B.C.), and its phragmoconidial state is identified with Helminthosporium pseudotsugae W. B. Cooke.The affinities of Strigopodia are with the capnodiaceous fungi rather than with the Parodiopsidaceae.

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.
