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.

Abstract>The status of the genus Plega is discussed and a preliminary survey of the North American species is presented. Plega yucatanae, a new species reared from the cells of Megachile exaltata Smith, is described and compared with its near relatives. The immature stages are described and biological information is given.

Southeastern Coastal Plain

The genus Ectemnia Enderlein consists of four North American species, two of which are described as new. The two previously described species, E. invenusta and E. taeniatifrons, are primarily northern in distribution and their immature stages occupy rocky rivers. The two new species, E. primaeva and E. reclusa, occur in the southeastern Coastal Plain; their immature stages inhabit blackwater swamp streams and sandy rivers. Keys are provided for larvae, pupae, and adults. The polytene chromosomes of all species are analyzed in detail. Seven fixed inversions, 10 unshared autosomal polymorphisms, two centromere-band expressions, and five sex-chromosome systems are recognized among the four species. At least 10 synapomorphies indicate that the genus is monophyletic. Phylogenetically, Ectemnia is in a clade with Metacnephia and Simulium.

AbstractThe 10 North American species of Mycetochara Berthold are reviewed. All species are redescribed and one new species, marshalli, is described from California. Former treatments of the species of the genus have considered males and females as separate species. This review associates all known males and females. The following new synonymy is presented: megalops Casey and nigerrima Casey (= fraterna Say); tenuis LeConte, gilipes Casey, and lecontei Borchmann (= foveata LeConte); lugubris LeConte, horni Dury, and davisi Hatch (= analis LeConte); marginata LeConte and longula LeConte (= binotata Say); longipennis Casey (= pubipennis LeConte); and pacifica Casey, nevadensis Casey, crassulipes Casey, downei Hatch, angusta Hatch, malkini Hatch, and caseyi Hatch (= procera Casey).A key is presented to aid in the identification of the species. The male terminalia are illustrated for all species except haldemani and lata, which are known only from females.

AbstractGroup VII of North American Ips contains I. thomasi, new species, I. borealis Swaine and I. swainei R. Hopping. They are less than 4.0 mm. long and females have the front of the head or at least the vertex smooth and shining, impunctate, or with very fine sparse punctures; males are more coarsely granulate-punctate on the frons. The species are described and a key is given. All breed in Picea in Canada and northern United States.

AbstractMorphological, life history, and distributional data are presented for North American species of the subgenus Stygomomonia (sensu stricto) Szalay, 1943. Adults of the seven previously recognized species are redescribed, and deutonymphs of five of these species are described for the first time. Two species, S. (s.s.) neomexicana Cook and S. (s.s.) occidentalis Cook are substantially revised on the basis of an examination of the types and extensive series of newly collected specimens. Three new species are described, S. (s.s.) californiensis on the basis of deutonymphs and adults, and S. (s.s.) imamurai and S. (s.s.) cooki on the basis of adults. A new diagnosis of the subgenus is proposed and discussed, the relationships of the various species are discussed, and a key to deutonymphs and adults of North American species is presented. New distributional data are presented for all species, and dispersal patterns from Pleistocene refugia are discussed.

A new species, Pholis clemensi, referred to the family Pholidae, is named and described from 12 specimens taken in southern British Columbia waters and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Pholis clemensi is compared with other members of the genus, and a key is given to the North American species.
