Abstract

The genus Cuerna Melichar as represented in Canada is reviewed. Cuerna costalis (Fabr.) is recorded for the first time. Seven new species of Cuerna are described from the Prairie Provinces and British Columbia: cuesta, fenestella, inflata, nielsoni, pseudoalba, reducta, and xyla. The identities of C. striata (Walker), C. lugens (Walker), and C. septentrionalis (Walker) are determined. All the species are described and illustrated, and a key is provided to the species-groups and species from Canada.
