AbstractHodostates Foerster is revised, representing the first comprehensive comparison of Nearctic and European species. Three species are recognized as valid, and the Nearctic Hodostates rotundatus (Davis) is recorded from Canada for the first time. Hodostates schaffneri Hinz is transferred to Lethades Davis, based largely on ovipositor morphology, and is redescribed. Placement in the tribe Pionini is discussed, given the presence of a deep subapical notch in the ovipositor of both New and Old World species of Hodostates. Host records for Hodostates are reviewed.

A New Species

The mirine plant bug genus Neolygus Knight is reported from Nepal and North India for the first time, thus representing the first confident distributional record of this genus from the Himalayas. A new species, Neolygus machanensis, is described from Nepal. Two known members, N. bui Lu & Zheng and N. keltoni (Lu & Zheng), newly recognized as occurring in Nepal and/or North India, are diagnosed. Habitus images of live individuals and illustrations of the male genitalia are provided for all treated species. A checklist of the Old World species, and discussion of the systematic position and zoogeography of Neolygus are included. Neolygus partitus (Walker, 1873) [Capsus], N. mjohjangsanicus (Josifov, 1992) [Lygocoris], and Neolygus zebei (Günther, 1997) [Lygocoris] are proposed as new combinations.

AbstractThe taxonomy and biology of New World species of Chrysolampinae are reviewed with diagnoses given for the subfamily, genera, and species. A key to the species of Chrysolampus and a summary of geographic distribution and information on host and floral associations are presented. Three new species are described from North America (Chrysolampus improcerus, C. luridus and C. elegans); Chrysolampus lycti Crawford is transferred to Perilampus and synonymized with the European species P. micans Dalman. The genus Chrysomalla is recorded in the New World for the first time based on the new species Chrysomalla hesperis. An explanation of the historical biogeography of the genera is proposed that is consistent with Late Cretaceous and Tertiary geological, botanical, and climatic information. It is suggested that the extant species are descendents of elements of a widely distributed arid biota.

AbstractThe Canadian species of Stenocranus Fieber are keyed by external characters correlated with species concepts defined by known genitalic characters. Stenocranus is differentiated from Terauchiana Matsumura (Asian; here reported from the New World for the first time) and Embolophora Stål (from Africa) by the remarkable development of the female pygofers, which completely conceal the ovipositor. Based on both head and genitalic characters, the genus is divided into two subgenera: typical Stenocranus with many Old World species and two Canadian species, and subgenus Codexnov. for other New World species. The type of Delphax dorsalis Fitch, 1851 is a specimen of Stenocranus pallidus Beamer, 1946 syn. nov., and "S. dorsalis" sensu Beamer is S. unipunctatus (Provancher, 1872). A lectotype of Delphax vittata Stål, 1862 is designated for the taxon S. unipunctatus (sensu Beamer, nec Provancher); its paralectotypes are specimens of S. acutus Beamer. The apparent evolutionary relationships of this fauna to other species of the world Stenocranini and within the superficially similar Saccharosydnini reveal numerous homoplasies and dramatic autapomorphies, contrasted with only a few reliable synapomorphies. A hierarchical classification of Delphacidae, based on the most distinctive synapomorphies, defines subfamily Delphacinae as encompassing at least four tribes: Vizcayini, Stenocranini, Tropidocephalini, and Delphacini, with "Kelisiinae" reduced to subtribe of Stenocranini and "Saccharosydnini" placed within Tropidocephalini.

AbstractThe current concept of Aphanommata Wollaston, 1873 is revised and Brachytemnoides Folwaczny, 1973 is synonymized with it (SYN. N.). The genus and the two Old World species, A. euphorbiarum (Wollaston, 1867) and A. filum (Mulsant & Rey, 1858) (COMB. N.), are briefly redescribed and keyed, and their genitalia figured for the first time. A checklist of the 5 included species is added.

Species of the genus Scolothrips are re-assessed based on examination of type material together with many other specimens, and a key is provided to identify the 14 species recognised. The possibility is discussed that the three North American species, hoodi, pallidus and sexmaculatus are colour variants of a single species. Three apparently Old World species, dilongicornis, longicornis and takahashii, cannot be distinguished satisfactorily. Three new synonyms are established: quadrinotata is a synonym of asura; hartwigi is a synonym of brevipilis; priesneri is a synonym of takahashii. Two species from the Canary Islands are considered nomina dubia: quadrimaculatus and lanzarotensis. Two species are here recorded for the first time from Australia, latipennis and rhagebianus, and Australian records of sexmaculatus are considered to be based on misidentifications.

A New Species

A reappraisal is presented of the taxonomy of three of the four alternate-leaved species of Chrysosplenium occurring in North America, namely C. tetrandrum, C. iowense, and C. Rosendahlii, the latter a new species described for the first time. The investigation demonstrates that the species can be readily separated morphologically even as seedlings. Each morphological entity is characterized by a different chromosome number, C. tetrandrum 2n = 24, C. Rosendahlii 2n = 96. C. iowense 2n = c.120, and a distinctive geographical distribution. C. iowense, which has on occasions been regarded as identical with C. alternifolium var. sibiricum, is retained as a species in the absence of a modern taxonomic analysis of the Old World species C. alternifolium.

A Geometrid moth sent to me for determination by Dr. Fletcher some time ago, appears to belong to the well-known European species, Himera pennaria, Linn. This species has not previously been recorded as occurring on this continent, and there is always the suspicion of a mistake when a species belonging to the Old World fauna is reported in America for the first time; but this species is distinctly labelled as captured by Mr. L. Fanshawe at Tamarisk, Manitoba, and I see no reason to doubt the genuineness of the record.

Both sexes of Helorus antefurcalis He & Xu, 2015 (new for Shaanxi) and H. caii He & Xu, 2015 (up to now only known from one male), are described and illustrated. Helorus xinjiangensis He & Xu, [June] 2015, is a new junior synonym of H. alborzicus Izadizadeh, van Achterberg & Talebi, [April] 2015 and H. elgoni Risbec, 1950, is re-instated as valid species. A revised key to the Old World species of Helorus Latreille (except Australian region) is included.

The annotated list of hepatics of the Sochi National Park includes 80 taxa. It is based on literature records and identification of 250 specimens collected by the authors. Scapania obcordata (Berggr.) S. W. Arnell and Calypogeia fissa (L.) Raddi var. intermedia (C. E. O. Jensen) Jorg. are new for the Caucasus, 17 taxa are new for Krasnodar Territory, 41 hepatics are reported for the first time for the park. New localities of 3 red-listed European species and of 6 species included in the Red Data Book of Krasnodar Territory are cited, indicating significant conservation value of the reserve.
