Preliminary geology, Mount Martin, Yukon Territory-British Columbia-Northwest Territories

Anastrophyllum assimile (Mitt.) Steph. and Marsupella revoluta (Nees) Lindb. are reported from the Keele Peak area, central-eastern Yukon Territory, Canada, and M. revoluta is also reported from Devon Island, Northwest Territories, Canada. These new localities extend a pattern of disjunct occurrences throughout the known range of both species, which further support the hypothesis of their relictual status. However, collections of A. assimile from coastal British Columbia and the Alexander Archipelago, Alaska, are indicative of strong oceanic affinities of North American populations of this species. Also, the arctic and alpine localities at which either A. assimile or M. revoluta might be expected to occur in the interior of Alaska and the Yukon are limited in number as both species invariably occur in association with siliceous substrates.

Despite the rapidly expanding knowledge of Lower Devonian brachiopod faunas of the Western Cordillera of Canada (Lenz, 1976, 1977a, 1977b, 1982; Ludvigsen, 1970; Perry, 1984; Perry and Lenz, 1978; Perry et al., 1974, 1981), equivalent data on coeval gastropod faunas from this region are non-existent; to date, no publications have appeared in which gastropods have been described. Blodgett et al. (1988, table 1) provided faunal lists for two Lower Devonian localities in Western Canada: 1) Lochkovian-Emsian age collections from the Mackenzie Mountains, Northwest Territories, collected by the late D. G. Perry as part of his Ph.D. dissertation (Perry, 1984); and 2) an early Emsian collection from the Mt. Lloyd George area, British Columbia. We are currently examining the gastropod material recovered by A. C. Lenz from his richly diverse collections in the Royal Creek area, Yukon Territory, equivalent in age to those gathered by D. G. Perry from the Mackenzie Mountains. This note is the first of several papers focused on these paleobiogeographically significant faunas, and it is our desire to ultimately make clear the character of this Early Devonian province, which appears to include strata of British Columbia, Yukon and Northwest Territories, as well as the non-accreted portion of adjacent east-central Alaska.

The hinge surface traces of some types of folds cannot be portrayed adequately on maps using traditional symbology. Specifically, there are no widely accepted symbols suitable for hinge surfaces of (1) box folds (a class of polyclinal folds with two hinges), (2) folds whose limbs both dip in the same direction, or (3) overturned folds whose limbs dip in opposite directions. The latter two cases are not uncommon for hinges within polyclinal or composite folds. An unambiguous symbology is proposed, illustrated using hypothetical examples, and applied to the analysis of kilometre-scale folds mapped in the Rocky Mountain Foothills of northeastern British Columbia and the Franklin Mountain Liard Ranges of southeastern Yukon Territory and southwestern Northwest Territories.

Lygus Rugulipennis

AbstractThe first North American records forDeraeocoris punctulatus(Fallén),Labopidea artemisiae(Sahlberg), andLabopidea bermaniKerzhner indicate that the species are naturally Holarctic.Lygus rugulipennisPoppius is now considered naturally Holarctic after specimens ofLygus perplexusStanger from Alaska, Yukon Territory, and Northwest Territories are correctly identified asL.rugulipennis. Additional North American localities forLabopidea discolor(Sahlberg) support the contention that the species is naturally Holarctic. Collections ofOrthotylus ochrotrichusFieber from Royal Oak, British Columbia, andMalacocoris chlorizansPanzer from British Columbia and Washington state suggest that these species are adventive to North America. Diagnoses are provided to distinguish all the taxa from other North American congeners. A key to the northern Nearctic species ofLabopideais given.
