AbstractThirty species of the genus Lygocoris Reuter known to occur in Canada and Alaska are reviewed. Lygocoris confusus (Knight) is considered to be a synonym of L. contaminatus (Fallen), communis var. novascotiensis (Knight) is a synonym of communis (Knight), caryae var. subfuscus (Knight) is a synonym of caryae (Knight), and canadensis var. binotatus (Knight) is a synonym of canadensis (Knight).

AbstractDescriptions, a key to species, and distribution maps are presented for the three species of Dissochaetus Reitter 1884 known from America north of Mexico. A lectotype is designated for Dissochaetus oblitus LeConte, which occurs in the eastern deciduous forest biome of the eastern United States and southern Ontario. Dissochaetus arizonensis Hatch occurs in mountain forests from Arizona, New Mexico, and west Texas north to Wyoming. Dissochaetus mexicanus Jeannel is reported for the first time in the United States from montane forests in Big Bend, Texas. All are carrion scavengers. Each species represents a separate northwards colonization from Neotropical ancestors.

Eleven Species

AbstractAll Cardiophorus species found in Canada and the United States of America east of the Rocky Mountains are keyed and all but those with the majority of their ranges west of the Rocky Mountains are revised. Eleven species are recognized, three of which are new to science (C. catskillensissp. nov., C. destinensissp. nov., and C. panamapolissp. nov.). Cardiophorus floridae Candèze and C. angustatus Blanchard are synonymized under C. convexus (Say). All 11 are described and taxonomically important characters are presented. Distribution maps are presented for each species. The following lectotypes are designated for species that were described from more than one specimen without former holotype designation: C. angustatus, C. floridae, C. erythropus Erichson, C. gagates Erichson, C. togatus Horn, C. robustus LeConte, C. convexulus LeConte, and C. amictus Melsheimer. The following neotypes were designated to replace destroyed type specimens: C. cardisce (Say) and C. convexus.

In this manuscript Aonidiella comperei is reported for the first time in Colombia; The specimens were found associated with branches, leaves and fruits of Citrus x latifolia (Rutaceae) in the department of Tolima. Also, we obtained physical evidence of the association of Parlatoria ziziphi and Citrus x limonia (Rutaceae) in Colombia from a sample collected in the field; until this paper the only record of P. ziziphi in the country came from specimens intercepted in a quarantine inspection at a port of entry in the United States. Field and slide-mounted characteristics are provided for A. comperei. Also a taxonomic key to species of Diaspididae present on Citrus spp. in Colombia is given.

Three New Species

AbstractThe genus Ericydeus Pascoe (Polydrosinae: Naupactini) distributed throughout the United States of America up to Argentina is revised and a cladistic analysis including 16 species is conducted. Three new species are described: E. bahiensis, E. argentinensis and E. cupreolus. Ericydeus humeralis Hustache is synonymized under E. nigropunctatus (Chevrolat); and E. modestus viridans (Boheman) and E. modestus duodecimpunctatus (Dalla-Torre, Emden & Emden) are elevated to species rank. Other valid species are: E. hancocki (Kirby), E. schoenherri (Perty), E. sedecimpunctatus (Linnaeus), E. yucatanus (Champion), E. roseiventris (Champion), E. quadripunctatus (Champion), E. modestus (Gyllenhal), E. forreri (Champion), E. lautus (LeConte) and E. placidus (Horn). In the cladogram obtained the species from South America gather in a clade (E. argentinensis, E. sedecimpunctatus, E. nigropunctatus, E. schoenherri, E. hancocki, and E. bahiensis) and the species from Central and North America form a separate clade (E. yucatanus, E. roseiventris - E. quadripunctatus, E. cupreolus, E. viridans - E. modestus, E. duodecimpunctatus, E. forreri, E. lautus - E. placidus). The character evolution follows a southern-northern direction. The paper includes a redescription of the genus, redescriptions or descriptions of its 16 species, a dichotomous key, habitus photographs, drawings of diagnostic structures, distribution maps, a cladogram, and a discussion of the phylogeny and distribution of the genus.

Heteroptera Pentatomidae

A bioclimatic model of the polyphagous predator, Podisus maculiventris (Say) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae), was developed using CLIMEX software (Hearne Scientific Software, Melbourne, Australia). Calibration distribution was fitted using known distribution records for the United States and Canada, after which the model was used to generate a potential distribution map for the entire world. As expected, potential distribution maps agreed with known distribution records for North America. However, apparent mismatches were found for distributions in Europe, South America, midAfrica, and Southeast Asia. Using historical weather data, CLIMEX “growth indices” (measures of climate suitability for insect development) were compared against multiyear pheromone trap counts in the northern (Indiana) and southern (Florida) United States. Growth index curves did not appear to match pheromone trap data in either location when examined separately by year, location and insect sex. However, a weak relationship was found between trap counts and growth index when data were pooled across years, locations and sex.

Species Being

In a recent contribution in this Journal, I described a few new Diptera from Canada. The present paper contains descriptions of six new Canadian species and two from the United States, the types of the Canadian species being in the Canadian National Collection. The descriptions of two of the species of Ptiolina in this paper have been prepared by Dr. M. D. Leonard and are included in order that the key to species may be complete. From our study of this genus it seems probable that there are other species to be found, especially in the north where so little collecting has been done.

AbstractTwo exotic species of Xyleborus (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) of Asian origin have recently been detected in the United States. Xyleborus pelliculosus Eichhoff has been collected in Pennsylvania and Maryland, and X. atratus Eichhoff from Tennessee, Georgia, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia. Descriptions of both species and a revised, illustrated key to members of the genus Xyleborus in eastern North America are presented. An explanation is proposed for the large numbers of recent introductions of exotic ambrosia beetles from eastern Asia into eastern North America.

The species of Ceraturgus occurring in the eastern United States and Canada are reviewed. A key to species, descriptions, illustrations of wings and some genitalic features, and distribution maps are presented. Ceraturgus fasciatus is resurrected from synonymy with Ceraturgus cruciatus, and Ceraturgus mabelae is reduced to synonymy with Ceraturgus nigripes (new synonymy). Ceraturgopsis is resurrected, assigned subgeneric rank, and Ceraturgus cornutus is fixed as type species. This work is dedicated to the memory of one of America’s foremost asilidologists, Joseph Wilcox.
