AbstractThe first of a planned series of papers revising the Nearctic species of the predaceous diving beetle genus, Agabus Leach, is presented. The genus is defined in the broad sense of Sharp (1882) and Fall (1922). The North American species are divided into species groups and diagnostic characters for group recognition are summarized in a key. Assignment of species to these groups is indicated in a checklist of North American species. The ambiguus-, tristis-, and arcticus-groups are defined, their relationships discussed, and included species revised. The ambiguus-group, which is restricted to North America, contains the species A. ambiguus (Say), A. strigulosis (Crotch), A. erythropterus (Say), A. austinii Sharp, and A. klamathensis sp.nov. The tristis-group, which has a Holarctic distribution, contains two species in North America, A. tristis Aubé and A. leptapsis (LeConte). The Holarctic arcticus-group is represented by A. arcticus (Paykull) and A. anthracinus (Mannerheim) in North America. For each species, patterns of variation are described, the North American distributions mapped, and ecological information summarized.

It has for some time been realized that the genus Pyrausta as it stands in current North American lists is a very unnatural one. Forbes (1926) pointed out that a fundamental division of the Pyraustinae possible on the basis of the presence or absence in the male fore wing of the frenulum hook, and that species of both types have ordinarily been included in Pyrausta. Subsequent studies of genitalic structure—particularly that by Pierce and Metcalfe (1938)—have borne out the importance of this division.

AbstractThe name Enaysma Delucchi, 1954 is synonymized with the name Achrysocharoides Girault, 1913. Achrysocharoides is divided into two species-groups, guizoti and gahani. Fifteen North American species are recognized, including five that are new: A. reticulatus, A. bisulcus, A. albus, A. tetrapunctatus, and A. intricatus. A key to species, host lists, and distributions are included.

The United States fauna of the genus Ittys (Trichogrammatidae: Paracentrobiini) is revised for the first time. This revision includes a redescription of the genus, redescriptions of the named North American species with illustrations of diagnostic characters. The genus Ittys contains three described North American species which are all considered synonyms of the widespread Ittys ceresarum (Ashmead). Four new species from the United States I. californica n. sp., I. infuscata n. sp., I. macfarlandi n. sp. and I. inermis n. sp. are described as new.

The genus Neoarisemus was proposed by Botoşaneanu & Vaillant (1970) for the extant North American species Psychoda nigra Banks, 1894. The diagnostic characters are eyes without eye suture, wing venation with R5 vein pectinate, wing forks complete and in basal position, epandrial appendages basally swollen, and aedeagus asymmetrical. In his treatise on Palearctic Psychodidae Vaillant (1975: p. 168) transferred to the genus Neoarisemus several species previously placed in genus Telmatoscopus Eaton, 1904, among them N. spinitibialis (Tokunaga & Komyo, 1955) [Japan] and N. lindbergi (Vaillant, 1963) [Afghanistan]. Neoarisemus ibericus Wagner, 1977 [Spain], and N. sardous Wagner & Salamanna, 1984 [Sardinia] were described later.

Dyar (1913) listed Diathrausta reconditalis (Walker) as a “form” of the South American D. nerinalis (Walker) and described as new the “form” harlequinalis from Arizona. From the context it is evident that in that paper Dyar used “form” as equivalent to geographic race, and the form names he proposed there can accordingly be treated as valid trinomina. Haimbach (1915), apparently in ignorance of Dyar's paper, described Diathrausta montana from Colorado. This was sunk by Barnes and McDunnough (1917) as a synonym of harlequinalis. Barnes and McDunnough listed harlequinalis as a geographical race of reconditalis, but did not follow Dyar in uniting these with nerinalis.

AbstractThe North American species of Udea are revised on the basis of about 2500 specimens, with strongest representation in the difficult itysalis group. Twenty-three species and an additional 19 subspecies are recognized. Of these, the following six species and 18 additional subspecies are described as new: U. washingtonalis hollandi, interior B.C. and Mont.; U. w. nomensis, Alaska; U. w. pribilofensis, Pribilof Is.; U. indistinctalis johnstoni, Wash., ? Sask.; U. brevipalpis, Colo., Utah and ? Calif.; U. cacuminicola, Colo., Wyo.; U. beringialis, Yukon, Alaska; U. derasa, B.C.; U. livida, B.C., Wash., Utah; U. turmalis catronalis, N. Mex.; U. i. tularensis, Tulare Co., Calif.; U. t. griseor, Calif.; U. itysalis mertensialis, N.S.; U. i. rindgeorum, Tooele Co., Utah; U. i. kodiakensis, Alaska; U. i. albimontanensis, Ariz., N. Mex.; U. i. durango, Colo., Utah; U. i. wasatchensis, central Utah; U. i. clarkensis, southern Nev., Calif.; U. i. marinensis, San Francisco Bay region, Calif.; U. abstrusa subarctica, Northwest Territories, Yukon; U. abstrusa abstrusa, Alta., Sask., Man.; U. a. cordilleralis, Wyo., Colo., Utah, N. Mex.; U. a. pullmanensis, Wash. Five nominal species are transferred from other genera to Udea: Botis octosignalis Hulst, from Pyrausta; Ebulea straminea Warren, from Calamochrous; Botis vacunalis Grote, from Pyrausta; Phlyctaenia rusticalis Barnes and McDunnough and P. berberalis Barnes and McDunnough. U. straminea (Warren) is synonymized with U. octosignalis (Hulst) and U. galactalis (Dyar) with U. vacunalis (Grote). U. turmalis (Grote) is separated specifically from U. itysalis (Walker). Phiyctaenia angustalis Barnes and McDunnough is transferred from Udea to Evergestis.
