AbstractA revision of the Canadian species of the genus Silusa Erichson is presented. In this contribution, we treat six species recently discovered in Canada, one of which is a new species from Alberta, Silusa langori Klimaszewski sp. nov. The distribution records for two species are greatly expanded. Silusa californica Bernhauer is now known from Alaska, Minnesota, Alberta, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia (previous records: British Columbia, California). Silusa vesperis Casey is now known from Washington and British Columbia (previous record: California). For two other species, there are first records for Canada and one new United States state record. Silusa alternans Sachse is now known from Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and New Hampshire (previous records: Georgia, New York), and Silusa densa Fenyes is now known from Alberta (previous record: California). Silusa valens Casey is here considered as a synonym of S. alternans. Silusa rutilans Casey and S. modica Casey are confirmed to belong to Leptusa Kraatz, and both are here considered as new synonyms of Leptusa canonica Casey. Silusa gracilis Sachse and S. nanula Casey are also confirmed to belong to the genus Leptusa. The following lectotypes are newly designated for species described on the basis of syntypes: S. alternans Sachse and S. californica Bernhauer. New data are provided on the systematics, relationships, bionomics, and distribution for all Nearctic species of America north of Mexico. Diagnoses and illustrations of external and genital features are provided for all species, and the distribution of each is discussed and shown on maps. A key to the species occurring in Canada is presented.

Abstract A description is provided for Coccomyces strobi. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Pinus ayacahuite, P. excelsa [= P. wallichiana] (twig), P. monticola (twig), P. strobus (twig), P. wallichiana. Most records are on P. strobus. DISEASE: Coccomyces strobi is found on recently killed twigs of 5-needle pines. Sherwood (60, 1319) noted that 'since the fungus is nearly ubiquitous and appears soon after the death of the portions of the host on which it occurs, it is tempting to brand it as parasitic'. The twigs on which it occurs are typically rather brittle, suggesting that, like Therrya fuckelii (IMI Description 1297), T. pini (IMI Description 1298) and Colpoma quercinum (IMI Description 942), this fungus may have a rôle in self-pruning of the tree. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Canada (British Columbia, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario), Hungary, Ukraine, USA (Connecticut, Georgia, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin). European records are on Pinus strobus, a native of North America. The fungus is thus most probably also to be a native of North America, which has travelled to Europe with its host. The record from Ukraine is tentative, based on a collection with rather old ascomata. The record from Washington State on P. monticola appears to be the first from west of the Rockies. TRANSMISSION: By air-borne ascospores in humid conditions; in the USA, ascomata containing ascospores have been observed from May to August.

Nearctic species of the genus Tropimenelytron Pace, 1983, a new genus for North America, are revised. Redescription and illustrations are provided for distinguishing the genus Tropimenelytron from other related aleocharine genera. Three new species are described: T. americanum Gusarov, sp. n., from Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut and Quebec; T. robustum Gusarov, sp. n., from Oregon and British Columbia and T. californicum Gusarov, sp. n. from California. A key for identification of Nearctic species of Tropimenelytron is provided. The status of the genus Pelioptera Kraatz, 1957 is discussed. Pelioptera unica (Bernhauer, 1907) from Japan and P. peguana (Bernhauer, 1915) from Burma are transferred to Tropimenelytron.

The following list of the Coccidæ found to inhabit Canada is complete, so far as the published records show, together with some other information derived from corresponding with Prof. Cockerell, Dr. Fletcher, and Mr. John Dearness. Much, however, has been obtained from material sent to me for identification. In reviewing the list it will be seen that Ontario has 25 species of Coccids credited to her; while Ottawa has 18; Toronto, 6; Quebec, 3; Prince Edward Island, 3; Nova Scotia, 4; New Brunswick, 2; and British Columbia, 6. One has been found in an ants' nest, 8 in greenhouses, and there have been 8 new species described from Canada. There are 46 species, 27 of which are native to North America, 14 are introduced, and 4 whose home is unknown, but which were probably introduced. The large majority of the species have been found by Dr. Fletcher, or at least have passed through his hands. Much credit, however, is due Mr. John Dearness, who has taken great interest in looking for these very injurious insects, and has sent me several very interesting species.

Abstract A description is provided for Arthrinium sphaerospermum, which is most frequently encountered as a saprobe on decaying leaves and stems of plants, but is also known to live as an endophyte, for example in stems of Eucalyptus, and in the phyllosphere, for example of Iris. This fungus has also been reported as the cause of poisoning through contamination of sugarcane and the causal agent of a dermatomycosis in humans. Some information on its associated organisms and substrata, habitat, dispersal and transmission, economic impacts (positive and negative), and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (North America (Canada (British Columbia, New Brunswick, Ontario), Mexico, USA (Georgia, Iowa, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas)), South America (Argentina, Uruguay), Asia (Armenia, China, India (Chhattisgarh, Meghalaya, Uttarakhand), Iran, Pakistan, Russia (Sakhalin Oblast), Uzbekistan), Europe (Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Russia (Leningrad Oblast), Switzerland, Ukraine, UK)).
