Abstract | Seventy-two species of Blennocampinae in 21 genera and six tribes are known from the Nearctic region. The adults and known larvae of all species and genera are keyed, described and illistrated. A definition of the subfamily, a review of previous work, a table of host-plant associations, and a discussion of the relationships of the taxa are also given. Both adult and larval characters are utilized in an attempt to construct a moro natural classification. Two new tribes, Ceratulini and 'Waldheimiini, and one new subgenus, Rhadinoceraea (Veratra), are described. New species described are Blennogeneris gittinei, Lycaota bouquetensis, Lycaota janetae, Phymatocera racemoeae, Phymatocera smilacinae, Rhadinoceraea brysonensis, Rhadinoceraea ctenidium, Rhadinoceraea utahensis, Rhadinoceraea ,jacentensis, Monophadnus bakers, Monophadnus lattini, Monardis dulls, Apareophora rossi, Periclista stannardi, Mononhadnoides osgoodi, Monophadnoides quebecensis, and Waldheimia bedeae. Three genera, Apareophora, Eupareophora, and Monardis, are new to North America, and two genera, Blennocampa and Pareophora, are excluded from the North American fauns. Four new generic synonymies, 24 new special synonymies, and 12 new combinations are also included. |
