Abstract

Micrempis anatolica Chillcott is considered a junior subjective synonym of M. bomboxynon Chillcott, based on re-examination of purported differences in the female terminalia given by Chillcott and Teskey (1983), as well as examination of a number of additional specimens collected from eastern North America. As a result of its new broader concept, M. bomboxynon is redescribed, a distribution map of the species is provided, and separation from other Nearctic species of Micrempis is discussed.

Résumé

Micrempis anatolica Chillcott est considéré comme un synonyme subjectif secondaire de M. bomboxynon Chillcott d’après un réexamen de prétendues différences dans les terminalia femelles données par Chillcott et Teskey (1983), ainsi que d’après l’examen d’un certain nombre de spécimens supplémentaires récoltés dans l’est de l’Amérique du Nord. À cause de l’acception élargie de M. bomboxynon, les auteurs le redécrivent, fournissent une carte de distribution de l’espèce et discutent de sa différenciation d’autres espèces néarctiques de Micrempis.
