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 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.

Descriptions are presented for the adults and fourth-stage larvae of Splendidofilaria pectoralis n. sp. from the pectoral subcutaneous tissues of blue grouse, Dendragapus obscurus pallidus Swarth, in British Columbia, Canada, and for its microfilaria. It is concluded tentatively that in British Columbia this species is absent from the coastal region and is restricted to Galliformes (probably to the Tetraonidae). The new species is reported from the following additional hosts in British Columbia: Franklin's grouse, Canachites canadensis franklinii; ruffed grouse, Bonasa umbellus affinis; sharp-tailed grouse, Pedioecetes phasianellus Columbianus; and from two hosts in Alaska: spruce grouse, C. c. atratus, and sharp-tailed grouse, P. p. caurus. Observations on prevalence, epizootiology, and pathology of S. pectoralis n, sp. are discussed. The most similar of the other species of Splendidofilaria inhabiting subcutaneous sites is S. papillocerca (Lubimov, 1946) from which S. pectoralis u, sp. differs most noticeably as follows: vagina about half as long, spicules longer, tail of female much longer.

The New World genus Limnocoris Stål includes 73 described species, of which 13 are distributed in North America. A new species, Limnocoris rodriguesi Reynoso n. sp., from Mexico is described and illustrated, bringing the total number of species distributed in the country to eight. An updated checklist of the Mexican fauna of Limnocoris is presented and includes new state records for six species: Limnocoris hintoni La Rivers, L. inornatus Montandon, L. insularis Champion, L. lutzi La Rivers, L. pygmaeus La Rivers, and L. signoreti Montandon. Additionally, distribution maps for each of the species of Limnocoris in Mexico are presented.

AbstractThe systematics of Acalymma sensu stricto of North America including Mexico are revised. Acalymma sensu stricto is defined and distinguished from the other species groups of Acalymma. Sixteen species are discussed including four new species: A. blomorum, A. palomarense, A. invenustum, and A. luridifrons all from Mexico. Three new subspecies of A. blandulum (LeConte) are described: blandulum (LeConte) new status, nigriventre, and yucatanense. Acalymma coruscum costaricense Bechyné is placed as a synonym of A. innubum (Fabricius). Keys are presented to all species and subspecies. Habitus and male genitalia drawings are given for all species and distribution maps are given where appropriate.

Except for occasional references in the Annual Reports of the Forest Insect and Disease Survey of infestations of an aphid on caragana (Caragana arborescens Lam.) in Western Canada and a note on chemical control (Bradley, 1952), there is no published record known to the authors of the occurrence of the caragana aphid, Acyrthosiphon caraganae (Cholod.), in North America. MacNay (1953) summarized reports that severe infesrations of aphids, “probably mainly the caragana aphid”, occurred on caragana in 1952 in the East Kootenays of British Columbia, and at several places in Alberta and Saskatchewan. At some localities 100 per cent defoliation was reported.

Meadowcroft Rockshelter is a deeply stratified multicomponent site in Washington County, southwestern Pennsylvania. The eleven well defined stratigraphic units identified at the site span at least 16,000, and perhaps 19,000 years of intermittent occupation by groups representing all of the major cultural stages/periods now recognized in northeastern North America. Throughout the extant sequence, the site served as a locus for hunting, collecting and food processing activities which involved the seasonal exploitation of the immediately adjacent Cross Creek valley and contiguous uplands. Presently, Meadowcroft Rockshelter represents the earliest well dated evidence of man in the New World as well as the longest occupational sequence in the Western Hemisphere.

Taxonomy of Isoetes L. largely rests on megaspore and microspore wall ornamentation and spore size. These characters have been reevaluated and the range of their variability is described (SEM photographs). Eight species of Isoetes are recognized for northeastern North America: I. macrospora, I. hieroglyphica, I. tuckermanii, I. riparia, I. acadiensis, I. echinospora, I. eatonii, and I. engelmannii. Each species is provided with a revised list of synonyms, description, ecological notes, representative specimens, and distribution maps. A key to species is provided.

AbstractCopris incertus Say, 1835 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae: Coprini) has been described as a New World coprophagous scarab distributed from Mexico to Ecuador with large discontinuities in its range between the Yucatán province and Costa Rica. The C. incertus species complex of the Copris minutus (Drury, 1773) species group consists of C. incertus, Copris laeviceps Harold, 1869, and Copris lugubris Boheman, 1858. Based on external morphology and male genitalia, we discovered that multiple species have been classified as C. incertus. Of these species, five are new: Copris amazonicusnew species, Copris brevicornisnew species, Copris davidinew species, Copris moroninew species, and Copris susanaenew species. Herein, we revise the organisation of the C. incertus species complex and propose a new species complex, the C. laeviceps species complex, which includes: C. davidi, Copris igualensis Warner, 1990, and C. laeviceps, formerly included in the C. incertus species complex. We provide an identification key along with species distribution maps, images of habitus, and diagnostic characters.

The millipede genus Amplaria Chamberlin, 1941 (senior synonym of Vaferaria Causey, 1958 and Speostriaria Causey, 1960) is endemic to western North America, from Mt. Palomar and San Luis Obispo, California, north to southwestern British Columbia, Canada, and east to northern Idaho. Seven species names are currently assigned to the genus. Below I describe ten additional new species: Amplaria crawfordi, Amplaria fontinalis, Amplaria rykkenae, Amplaria arcata, Amplaria baughi, Amplaria staceyi, Amplaria umatilla, Amplaria cervus, Amplaria mendocino and Amplaria flucticulus, and provide new records of Amplaria nazinta Chamberlin.
