AbstractThe oribatid mite genus Megeremaeus is redefined, with the addition of information on leg chaetotaxy and immature instars. Three new species are described, Megeremaeus hylaius from northeastern North America, and M. keewatin and M. kootenai from northwestern North America. Descriptions of the former two species are based on adults and immatures, the latter species on adults only. Nymphs of M. montanus Higgins and Woolley are described. A key is given for the six known species in the genus.

AbstractMorphology, distribution, and habitat data are presented for three species of the oribatid mite genus Gymnodampia Jacot occurring in North America. A revised generic diagnosis is given and the type species Gymnodampia setata (Berlese) is redescribed based on topotypic material from Missouri. Immatures of G. setata are described and aspects of their biology are presented. Two new species from North America, G. jacotisp. nov. and G. lindquistisp. nov., are proposed and described on the basis of adults, and a key is given for North American species of Gymnodampia. The ameroid genera Cristamerus Hammer, from Pakistan and China, and Defectamerus Aoki, from Japan, Korea, and China, are considered junior synonyms of Gymnodampia, and G. conformis (Fujikawa) is considered a junior synonym of G. fusca (Fujikawa). Immatures of G. setata are apheredermous, but with a circular line of dehiscence, whereas known immatures of the superfamily Ameroidea are eupheredermous. Nonetheless, without convincing apomorphic traits linking Gymnodampia to any known apheredermous family of Brachypylina, we hypothesize that Gymnodampia has lost the eupheredermy characteristic of Ameroidea, and we place it in the family Ameridae on the basis of adult similarities.

AbstractThe oribatid mite genus Ametroproctus, soil and litter inhabitants in the desert, alpine, and montane regions of western North America, is discussed. Two subgenera are recognized, Ametroproctus s. str. and Coropoculia. Their respective type-species, A. oresbios Higgins and Woolley and C. reticulata Aoki and Fujikawa, are redescribed, and newly discovered immatures of both species are described. Four new species are proposed, A. (Ametroproctus) tuberculosus, A. (A.) aridus, A. (Coropoculia) beringianus, and A. (C.) canningsi. A new generic diagnosis is given, as well as a key to subgenera and species known from North America.

Four new species of the oribatid mite genus Carabodes from western North America are described, based on adult specimens: Carabodes california known from California, C. colorado from British Columbia, Alberta, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico, C. dickinsoni from British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and California, and C. hoh from British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and California. We provide an expanded diagnosis of the genus, including information on integumental birefringence, chaetotaxy, palptarsal setation, and position of lyrifissure iad. We present a table of character states and a diagnostic key for the 28 species, as well as a summary of their distributions.

AbstractThe Neopsini encompasses two genera, both exclusively Neotropical: Neopsis Oman (5 species) and Nollia n. gen. (2 species). Neopsis amazonica n. sp., Neopsis tumidifrons n. sp., Neopsis magna n. sp. (Brazil), and Nollia rustica n. sp. (Chile) are described, and the genera and species of the Neopsini are keyed.The New-World Macropsini encompasses five genera: Pediopsis Burmeister (1 species), Pediopsoides Matsumura (2 species), Reticopsis Hamilton (2 species), Macropsis Lewis (55 species), and Oncopsis Burmeister (36 species). Biological and morphological data are used to define the species in this taxonomically difficult tribe, with the result that 45 new species are described: Macropsis acapulco, M. dimorpha, M. igniscutellata, M. mexicana, M. oncopsimilis, and M. zebra from Mexico; Macropsis aureocephala, M. californiensis, M. ferrax, M. inversalis, M. palustris, M. pulchra, Oncopsis arizona, O. aureostria, and Reticopsis udrobates from southern California and Arizona; Oncopsis insignifica, O. mica, and O. tangenta from Utah; Macropsis borealis, M. rufescens, Oncopsis albicollis, O. incidens, O. interior, O. juno, O. marilynae, O. monticola, and O. tenuifoliae from northwestern North America; Macropsis dixiensis and O. infumata from southeastern North America; Macropsis decisa, M. jocosa, M. microceps, M. tunicata, M. xena, Oncopsis citrella, O. concurrens, O. dentata, O. deluda, O. prolixa, O. quebecensis, and O. vartyi from northeastern North America; and Macropsis deviridis, Oncopsis citra, O. crispae, and O. prairiana from Canada. Five new subspecies are described: O. cinctifrons kootenensis, O. prairiana ferrosus, and O. prairiana occidentalis, all from southern British Columbia; Oncopsis nigrinasi florida from Florida; and Macropsis deviridis alberta from western Canada. Five new synonymies are created. Keys to all taxa, host associations, and distribution maps are provided and the colour phases of the various polymorphic species are analyzed.The morphology and significance of intersex individuals of Oncopsis spp. are discussed.

AbstractThe oribatid mite genus Zachvatkinibates, found in both littoral and forest litter habitats in North America and the Soviet Union, is redefined. Its systematic relationship to other genera in the Mycobatidae is discussed. A new species, Z. tetrasklerosis, is proposed, and Z. maritimus Shaldybina, 1973, is redescribed. Immatures of both species are described; none was previously known for the genus. Sexual dimorphism is displayed in the notogastral porose areas of adults of Z. maritimus, but not of Z. tetrasklerosis.

Three New Species

In an earlier paper (Syme and Davies, 1958), three new species in the hirtipes-complex (Prosimulium fuscum Syme and Davies, P. mixtum Syme and Davies and P. fontanum Syme and Davies) were described, compared with related species in other parts of the world, and their known distribution in northeastern North America indicated. In this paper are presented observations on the manner and dates of oviposition, on incubation, on the larval feeding, on the rate of larval growth during the fall and winter in a spring-fed stream, and on differences in habitat and seasonal emergence of the three new species.
