AbstractA systematic revision of North American species of the genusAmeletus, excluding parthenogenetic species, is presented. Seven new species are described (A.andersoni,A.bellulus,A.doddsianus,A.edmundsi,A.majusculus,A.pritchardi, andA.tolae), separate keys are given to western and eastern species, annotated accounts of all 30 presently recognized bisexual species are provided, taxonomic characters are illustrated, and distribution data are presented for all species. The following nomenclatural changes are proposed:Ameletus aequivocusis considered a junior synonym ofA.sparsatus; A.alticolusandA.celeroidesjunior synonyms ofA.celer;A.connectinaandA.connectusjunior synonyms ofA.velox;A.facilisa junior synonym ofA.vancouverensis;A.montaa junior synonym ofA.similior;A.querulusa junior synonym ofA.shepherdi. The specific status ofA.tuberculatusis questioned and it is provisionally considered to be the same asA.celer.

Three New Species

AbstractThree new species are described in the caddisfly family Uenoidae: Neothremma prolata, from Hood River County, Oregon; Neothremma mucronata from Lassen County, California; and Farula constricta from Multnomah County, Oregon. Following examination of the holotypes of several species, misinterpretation of the male genitalia morphology of Farula wigginsi Denning is corrected, leading to the recognition of that name as a junior synonym of F. petersoni Denning. Interpretation of male genitalic morphology in the original description of F. geyseri Denning is revised. Phylogenetic relationships are inferred from male genitalic morphology for the species of Neothremma and Farula. Biogeographic patterns of the species in both genera are highly congruent with the phylogenies.

AbstractThe genus Androprosopa Mik (Diptera: Thaumaleidae) is redefined and expanded to include 51 species. Adult, pupa, and final-instar larva of the eastern North American species of Androprosopa americana (Bezzi) comb. n., A. thornburghae (Vaillant) comb. n., A. vaillantiana sp. n., and Thaumalea verralli Edwards (new Nearctic record) are described and illustrated. New records of Trichothaumalea elakalensis Sinclair also are provided. Keys to adult males, pupae, and larvae for all five eastern Nearctic species are included.

Eleven Species

The eleven species of the North American subgenus Osmia (Diceratomsia) are revised, four of which are new: Osmia (Diceratosmia) exquisita, n. sp., from Honduras; Osmia (Diceratomia) gonzalezi, n. sp., and Osmia (Diceratomia) spinulifera, n. sp., from Mexico; and Osmia (Diceratomsia) lacunosa, n. sp., from the Bahamas. Diagnoses for the remaining seven species and a key to the males and females of all species are provided. We newly designate a neotype for Osmia botitena Cockerell, junior synonym of Osmia subfasciata Cresson, and remove from synonymy Osmia marilaunidii Cockerell, new status. In addition, we review the known nesting biology, floral hosts, and geographic range of each species.

In the course of our studies of the Trichoptera of the southern Appalachians during the past few years, considerable material of the genus Lepidostoma has been accumulated. In addition to range extensions and previously undescribed females in various groups within the genus, this material has provided four new species in the vernalis group. With the number of species in this group thus doubled, we believe it useful to provide here a revision of the whole vernalis group, with keys to the males and females. Knowledge of the immature stages is not adequate to permit any systematic analysis at this time.

AbstractThe subgenus Steropus Dejean of the genus Pterostichus Bonelli (Coleoptera: Carabidae) is redefined. The subgenus includes 24 species occurring in the Palaearctic and Nearctic regions. Eight species previously included in Steropus, P. catalonicus K. Daniel, P. ferreri (Español andMateu), P. galaecianus Lauffer, P. ghilianii (Putzeys), P. globosus (Fabricius), P. insidiatrix (Piochard de la Brûlerie), P. madidus (Fabricius), and P. riffensis (Antoine), are transferred to the subgenus Corax Putzeys (formerly considered as a junior synonym of Steropus) which is recognized as a valid taxon. Refonia Casey, with two North American species, Eosteropus Tschitschérine (type-species: Platysma creperum Tschitschérine, present designation), with four Asiatic species, and Steropinus Lutshnik, with one Asiatic species, are placed in synonymy with Steropus. Adult and larval character states of the subgenus Steropus are described. Larvae of Steropus are synapomorphic with those of P. (Corax) madidus and P. (Feronidius) melas Creutzer in having the mandible strongly curved with wide retinaculum in the first instar and a membranous area on antennomere I.

AbstractIn this paper, Angarotipula Savchenko, 1961 (Diptera: Tipulidae) is redescribed and differentiated from other genera in Tipulidae and subgenera of Tipula Linnaeus, 1758, where this taxon was previously placed. Angarotipula tumidicornis (Lundström, 1907) is synonymised with Angarotipula parrioides (Alexander, 1919) (new synonym), the latter is a junior synonym. A lectotype is designated for A. tumidicornis. The female and first instar of Angarotipula illustris (Doane, 1901) and the pupa of A. tumidicornis are described and illustrated for the first time. Keys to adults, larvae, and pupae of the two North American species are presented. A close relationship between Angarotipula and Prionocera Loew, 1844 is suggested based on shared character states.

A New Species

Thirty-nine species of Sarcophaginae are recorded from Buenos Aires Province (Argentina). A new species, Microcerella asymmetrica sp. nov., is described. Females of Oxysarcodexia bicolor Lopes, O. marina Hall, and Sarcophaga (Lipoptilocnema) koehleri Blanchard are described for the first time. Four nomenclatorial actions are reported: Sarcohelicobia elegans Blanchard is established as a new junior synonym of Nephochaetopteryx cyaneiventris Lopes, and lectotypes are designated for Oxysarcodexia delpontei Blanchard [a junior synonym of Oxysarcodexia paulistanensis (Mattos)], Sarcophaga argentina Brèthes [a junior synonym of Sarcophaga (Liopygia) argyrostoma (Robineau-Desvoidy)], and Neobellieria brethesi Blanchard [a junior synonym of Sarcophaga (Neobellieria) polistensis Hall]. Blaesoxipha (Tephromyia) hospes (Aldrich), Peckia (Euboettcheria) florencioi (Prado & Fonseca), Ravinia advena (Walker), R. aureopyga (Hall) and Sarcodexia lambens (Wiedemann) are newly recorded from Buenos Aires Province, and Udamopyga percita is newly recorded from Argentina. A key is presented to the adult males and females of 36 of the 39 species of Sarcophaginae recorded from Buenos Aires province. Notes on distribution, biology, life history and host records are also given.

Nixe dorothae n. sp. (Ephemeroptera: Heptageniidae) is described from southern Indiana, USA based on larvae, males, and females. Larvae are easily differentiated from those of the other known North American species by the presence of two rows of denticles on the tarsal claws. Males are differentiated from congeners by the presence of median spines on the apical sclerites of the penes and reddish-brown abdominal terga. The larva of N. rusticalis is described for the first time; it is differentiated from known North American Nixe by having more than 15 comb setae on the maxilla. A preliminary key for the larvae of the known North American Nixe is provided.
