In my paper on the North American Oecophoridae I transferred seven species from this family to the Cosmopterygidae and erected the new genus Anoncia for them. Since the completion of that paper I have had an opportunity to study Borkhausenia longa Meyrick and B. leucoritis Meyrick. These also belong in Anoncia and are hereby transferred to that genus. In addition, one new species has come to hand and is described below. This brings to ten the total number of known species from North America referable to Anoncia.

AbstractKeys are provided to the five genera and 12 species of Philaenini in North America. Philaenus (Stål) is redefined to include only two species, one of which, spumarius L., 1758 (= rubra Capanni, 1894, = aurata Capanni, 1894, new synonymies) is represented in North America by three introduced subspecies: quadrimaculatus (Sch.) in eastern and western continental America, spumarius s.s. in Newfoundland, and tesselatus (Mel.) from one locality in southern Ontario. Philaenus parallels Stearns is removed to Paraphilaenus Vilb. as its sole Nearctic representative (new combination) and Philaenus lineatus (L.) belongs to the distinctive genus Neophilaenus Hpt. Philaronia Ball is represented in North America by five species: abjecta (Uhl.), canadensis (Wal.), fuscovaria (Stål) new combination, pauca n. sp. and superba n. sp. Philaenarcys new genus includes three species: bilineata (Say), 1831, new combination (= Ptyelus basivitta Wlk., 1851, new synonymy), killa n. sp., and spartina n. sp.

AbstractRepresentatives of the oribatid mite family Ceratozetidae of subarctic western North America, including 14 species in eight genera, are treated. A new genus Laminizetes, and eight new species, Diapterobates siccatus, Trichoribates ogilviensis, Laminizetes fortispinosus, Ceratozetes inupiaq, C. kutchin, C. fjellbergi, Sphaerozetes firthensis, and Melanozetes tanana, are proposed, and Dentizetes rudentiger Hammer, Diapterobates humeralis (Hermann), Neogymnobates luteus (Hammer), Trichoribates striatus Hammer, Sphaerozetes castaneus Hammer, and Melanozetes meridianus Sellnick are redescribed. Immatures of Dentizetes rudentiger and Sphaerozetes firthensis are described. A key to the adults of the 31 species of Ceratozetidae recorded from the western North American arctic and subarctic is given. Relationships among the 12 genera in the Ceratozetidae recorded from the North American arctic and subarctic are discussed.

Five new species of Early Permian (late Sakmarian to Kungurian) colonial corals from eastern Nevada and southeastern California, one assigned to a new genus, are described and illustrated. These includeHeintzella playfordin. sp. from the Arcturus Formation in Nevada and the Darwin Canyon Formation in California,Paraheritschioides fergusonensisn. sp. from the Ferguson Mountain and Bird Spring formations in Nevada, andWendoverella arcan. gen. and n. sp.,Permastraea nevadensisn. sp., andPararachnastraea moormanensisn. sp. from the Pequop Formation in eastern Nevada. These new taxa are distinct from all previously described species, but most are related to other species in the North American miogeocline.Wendoverella arcan. sp., however, is unlike any other species described from North America but is quite similar to a Russian species, indicating faunal communication between the Ural Mountains and the Cordilleran miogeocline at least into Artinskian time.

This is the second in a series of papers intended to establish a Lower Jurassic ammonite zonation that takes into account the biostratigraphic and biogeographic peculiarities of the North American succession. In North America the lower boundary of the Toarcian is drawn at the first appearance of Dactylioceras above the last occurrence of Amaltheus and Fanninoceras. The lower Toarcian is represented by the Kanense Zone; the middle Toarcian by the Planulata and Crassicosta zones; and the upper Toarcian by the Hillebrandti and Yakounensis zones. Section 5 on the Yakoun River in the Queen Charlotte Islands is designated the stratotype for the Planulata, Crassicosta, and Hillebrandti zones; section 3 on the Yakoun River is designated the stratotype for the Yakounensis Zone; an ideal stratotype for the Kanense Zone is not presently known. Reference sections further illustrating the faunal associations that characterize the zones are designated in eastern Oregon (Snowshoe Formation) and northern British Columbia (Spatsizi Group). The Dactylioceratidae, Harpoceratinae, and Hildoceratinae provide the most important zonal indicators for the lower Toarcian; Dactylioceratidae, Phymatoceratinae, and Bouleiceratinae for the middle Toarcian; and Phymatoceratinae, Grammoceratinae, and Hammatoceratinae for the upper Toarcian. Phymatoceras hillebrandti is described as a new species.

Fifteen species of Late Permian bryozoans occur in a biohermal bank in the Mission Argillite of northeastern Washington. These include two species conspecific with species described from Japan and 13 new species, one of which is the type species of a new genus. The presence of two species, Dyscritella iwaizakiensis Sakagami, 1961, and Hayasakapora cf. erectoradiata Sakagami, 1960, previously reported from Japan, and the similarity of new species with those previously described from Japan, China and Russia supports the idea that these rocks were originally deposited in the southeastern or central western Pacific Ocean and subsequently accreted to the North American Plate.Bryozoans and previously reported fusulinids indicate that the biohermal bank is latest Wordian (Kazanian).Newly described bryozoans include the new genus and type species Sakagamiina easternensis belonging to the Timanodictyidae. Other new species are Fistuliramus pacificus, Meekoporella inflecta, Neoeridotrypella missionensis, Coeloclemis urhausenii, Tabulipora colvillensis, Rhombotrypella kettlensis, Pamirella oculus, Pinegopora petita, Wjatkella nanea, Alternifenestella vagrantia, Polypora arbusca, and Mackinneyella stylettia.

All macropterous species of Aptilotus Mik are keyed, with descriptions of two new macropterous North American species, Aptilotus pogophallus and A. nigriphallus. New distributional records are given for other North American species, and brachyptery is noted for the first time in A. luctuosus (Spuler). Four new macropterous species of Aptilotus (glabrifrons, spinistylus, rufiscapus, and binotatus are described from Nepal. The relationships between the North American and Nepalese species are discussed. Minocellina Papp is synonomized with Aptilotus, and the two species formerly in Minocellina, A. thaii (Papp) and A. besucheti (Papp), are thus given as new combinations. Limosina carbonicolor Richards, from Ethiopia, is redescribed and transferred to Aptilotus.

The generic limits of Arrhenia Fries, Geotus Pil. & Svr., Leptoglossum Karsten, Leptotus Karst., Mniopetalum Donk & Singer, Phaeotellus Kühn. & Lam., Pleuromycenula Singer, and Rimbachia Patouillard are examined. Two genera, Arrhenia and Rimbachia, are recognized. Keys for the species in these genera are presented and reports of the various species are reevaluated based largely on a restudy of original materials. New combinations in Arrhenia are based on Agaricus fissus Leysser, Merulius lobatus Pers., Helvella retiruga Bull., Leptoglossum alnetorum Singer, and Cantharellus spathulatus Fr. New species combinations in Rimbachia are based on Cyphella arachnoidea Peck, Agaricus bryophilus Pers., Cyphella muscicola var. neckerae Fr., Cantharellus furfuraceus Petch, and Pleuromycenula ellipsoidea Singer. Rimbachia paludosa sp. nov. is described from Ontario, Canada. Leptoglossum muscigenum (Bull.:Fr.) Karst. is a synonym of A.spathulata (Fr.) Redhead, Mniopetalum globisporum Donk & Singer is a synonym of R.arachnoidea (Peck) Redhead, Mniopetalum distinctum Horak is a synonym of R.furfuracea (Petch) Redhead, Leptoglossum candidum Reid is a synonym of R.neckerae (Fr.) Redhead, and Geotus glaucus sensu Pilát & Svrček 1954 is actually A.fissa (Leyss.) Redhead. Mniopetalum bisporum Singer is reduced to a subspecies of R. arachnoidea and Mniopetalum megalosporum Singer to a subspecies of R. neckerae (Fr.) Redhead. In North America, Arrhenia auriscalpium is an arctic–alpine species, A. lobata is an arctic–boreal–alpine species, and A. acerosa and A. retiruga are boreal species. Rimbachia arachnoidea and R. bryophila are boreal species. Arrhenia spathulata and A. fissa are known only from Europe. All Arrhenia and Rimbachia species are bryophiles. Cantharellus polycephalus Bres. is transferred to Pterygellus Corner and Leptoglossum bambusicola Corner is transferred to Marasmiellus Murrill. Pseudocraterellus leptoglossoides Corner is a basidiolichen and the type of a new genus, Semiomphalina Redhead. Pleuromycenula circularis Singer is transferred to Helotium Tode, and P. flava Singer is the type of a new genus, Flabellimycena Redhead. Campanella inquilina Romagnesi, based on Leptoglossum conchatum sensu Romagnesi non Velenovský, is described as new. Cantharellus prescotii Weinm., the correct name for Cantharellus albidus auct. non Fries, is transferred to Gerronema.
