Extract

The present sunmary of Gonia sens. lat. is made necessary because of a large number of undescribcd species recently segregated in the Canadian National Collection and by Dr. H. J. Reinhard. The group covered is the same as that summarized by Tothil (1924) and Morrison (1940), the latter work containing all records of species up until 1940 and with illustrations of the male genitalia of each species. It becomes only necessary then to present descriptions of new species and to fit all species into their proper restricted genera (in Townsend's sense): a key to all described North American species and illustrations of the new species are included.

* Since the above was written I have seen representatives of Gonia pallens Wd. from Chile. Although the abdomen is broader than in texensis the two species are clearly congeneric.

* Since writing the above I have obtained specimens of Gonia ornata Meigen (det. Bezzi) and find that ornata is closely allied to our Gonia breviforceps Tll. The genus Reaumuria should be used for all species considered herein as belonging to the aldrichi-breviforceps group of Gonia. Isomera RD. was founded for another species of the same group, Gonia pilosa n. sp. does not belong; see footnote under Gonia

* Salmacia Meigen was based originally on one species without name which was identified as capitata DeG. by Coquillett. The genus name is valid according to the rules of nomenclature and should replace Gonia M. Only the species herein included in the capitata group belong. Isomera RD. is a synonym of Reaumuria RD.; see footnote under Reaumuria.
