Additions To The Known Range Of Bembidion Rufotinctum Chaudoir (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Bembidiini), Paul M. Choate, Angela L. Choate
Insecta Mundi
Previously known from northeastern United States and Virginia, Bembidion rufotinctum Chaudoir is recorded from North Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Georgia. Habitat preference for this species appears to remain the same throughout its range. Specimens may be found hiding in cracks in rocks exposed to rapidly flowing water. The presence of this species may be indicated by Pentacora ligata (Say)(Hemiptera: Saldidae) that occurs on the same rocks.

Argentinoeme Bruch (191 1) remained as a monotypic genus until the finding of the material herein described. The type species of the genus, A. schulzi Bruch (191 1) from Argentina, is characterized by 12-segmented antennae, cylindrical pronotum with granulations at its base, femora narrowing only toward their bases, and divided eyes. Argentinoeme pseudobscura sp. nov., with 11-segmented antennae and appendiculate distal segment, constitutes the second known species of this genus.

Scorpions Of The Genus Diplocentrus (Diplocentridae) From Sonora, Mexico, With Description Of A New Species, W. David Sissom, Anne L. Wheeler
Insecta Mundi
To date, only two references place members of the genus Diplocentrus in Sonora, Mexico. The first was a passing comment by Francke (1975) that D. spitzeri Stahnke occurs in northeastern Sonora. The specimens he examined and used in his systematic studies on that species are the same as the ones reported here for the first time from a specific Sonoran locality. The second reference was by Sissom and Walker (1992) listing a single record of D. gertschi Sissom and Walker from Libertad on the northern coast.

A New Genus And Species Of Stygobiontic Dytiscid Beetle, Comaldessus Stygius (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae: Bidessini) From Comal Springs, Texas, Paul J. Spangler, Cheryl B. Barr
Insecta Mundi
A new genus and species of stygobiontic bidessine dytiscid beetle, Comaldessus stygius, from Comal Springs, Texas, is described and compared with the proposed sister epigean genus Uuarus and the only other known stygobiontic bidessine water beetles, Trogloguignotus concii Sanfilippo from Venezuela and Uvarus chappuisi (Peschet) from Africa. Distinctive characters of the adult are illustrated with pen and ink drawings and scanning electron micrographs. The new taxon is the second stygobiontic bidessine genus with rudimentary eyes known from the Western Hemisphere and the first known from North America.

Bathycranium : Synonymised With Syntormon, Distinction Between Parasyntormon And Syntormon Discussed And S. Bicolorellus And S. Luteicornis (Diptera : Dolichopodidae) Redescribed, M. C. D. Speight, R. M. Blackith, R. E. Blackith
Insecta Mundi
It is demonstrated that there is no valid basis on which to sustain the monotypic genus Bathycranium Strobl and concluded that Bathycranium should be recognised as a junior synonym of Syntormon Loew (new status). The species Syntormon bicolorellus Zetterstedt (new combination) falls into a natural grouping of Syntormon species with downcurved facial hairs in females. This species and S. luteicornis Parent are redescribed. Distinctions between Syntormonand Parasyntormon are discussed.

Occurrence Of The Milliped Ergodesmus Compactus Chamberlin In Canada (Polydesmida: Nearctodesmidae), Carl L. Whitney, Rowland M. Shelley
Insecta Mundi
Recent collecting in southcentral British Columbia, near the International Border, has confirmed the Canadian occurrence of the milliped Ergodesmus compactus Chamberlin, which was predicted by field work in the adjacent part of the United States. With Nearctodesmus insulanus (Chamberlin) occupying the Shuswap Highlands and the Pacific Coastal region, the Nearctodesmidae is known from three separate regions of Canada, all in British Columbia. Other millipeds in the northwestern United States that may be reasonably anticipated in western Canada are discussed.

Hydrellia Bicarina, N.Sp. (Diptera: Ephydridae), A Leafminer In Southern Watergrass, D. L. Deonier
Insecta Mundi
The species Hydrellia bicarina, n.sp. originally misidentified and described as Hydrellia spinicornis Cresson by Deonier (1971) is redescribed and illustrated. This species was first collectedon and reared from Southern Water Grass Luziola fluitans (Michaux) growing in shallow baytree swamps of southern Mississippi by Deonier (197 1). Based on the male and female genitalia and its natural history, this species is a member of the Hydrellia griseola species group.

A Status Report On The Species Of Timarcha (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), Pierre Jolivet
Insecta Mundi
The species of Tirnarcha are unique living fossils among the leaf beetles. They walk very slowly, cannot escape by flight, and their majestic bearing can be compared to the Athenian judges, the Timarches. Unfortunately, they are vulnerable to habitat disturbance, insecticides, and environmental changes. Some of the European such as Timarcha tenebricosa and T. goettingensis are becoming more and more rare because of these same habitat changes.
