Extract

Three North American species of Latalus and four of Quontus were listed by Oman (1999). Two of these are conspecific with a third and three new species are described below. Two of the previously described species have not been found in Canada and are not discussed here. They are Deltocephalus latidens Sanders and DeLong (1919, p. 234) and Latalus uncinatus Beamer and Tuthill (1934, p. 6). They are distinguished by genitalic characters described in the original descriptions. Quontus Oman (1949) is treated here as a synonym of Latalus DeLong and Sleesman (1929), as the distinctions given by Oman (1949) intergrade and do not always hold good. Canadian species of Latalus apparently inhabit grasslands. The best specific characters are in the internal male genitalia, though the female seventh sternite shows valid characters in some species.
