Abstract

A revision of the genus Hoplandria of America north of Mexico is presented. Four subgenera are recognized, of which two (Genosema Notman and Lophomucter Notman) previously were given generic status and one (Arrhenandria) is here newly described. Twelve species are defined, of which eight are described as new: H. alternans, H. isabellae, H. kisatchie, H. klimaszewskii, H. oconee, H. okaloosa, H. sanbornei, and H. smetanai. The species are arranged according to their relationships into species groups within the subgenus Lophomucter, where seven species are assigned. For the remaining subgenera species grouping was not possible due to the smaller number of species. The following synonymies are confirmed (the first specific name is valid): Subg. Hoplandria, H. lateralis (Melsheimer) = H. ochracea Kraatz = H. texana Casey = H. arizonica Casey = H. carinata Casey; Subg. Arrhenandria, H. laeviventris Casey = H. acudentata Dury. The species Genosema sexualis Notman is here synonymized with H. pulchra Kraatz. Hoplandria brittoni Casey was previously regarded as a synonym of H. lateralis (Melsheimer); it is now considered as a junior synonym of Platandria carolinae Casey. Lectotypes are designated for Gyrophaena lateralis Melsheimer, Hoplandria arizonica Casey, H. carinata Casey, H. laeviventris Casey, H. ochracea Kraatz, H. pulchra Kraatz, and H. texana Casey. Keys to subgenera and species are provided. All species are described, diagnostic characteristics of each are illustrated with line drawings and scanning electron microscope photomicrographs, and all available bionomic and distributional data are given. The morphology, systematics, and phylogeny of the subgenera and certain species are discussed, and a checklist of Nearctic species is added.

Résumé

L'auteur révise les espèces néarctiques du genre Hoplandria. Il reconnaît quatre sous-genres, dont deux résultent d'un changement de statut (Genosema Notman et Lophomucter Notman) et un autre est ici nouvellement décrit (Arrhenandria). Des douze espèces traitées, huit sont nouvelles, soit H. alternons, H. isabellae, H. kisatchie, H. klimaszewskii, H. oconee, H. okaloosa, H. sanbornei et H. smetanai. Trois groupes d'espèces sont définis pour les sept espèces appartenant au sous-genre Lophomucter. Dans les trois autres sous-genres, le petit nombre d'espèces a rendu tout regroupement impossible. L'auteur confirme la synonymie suivante (le premier épithète étant celui qui est valide) : sous-genre Hoplandria, H. lateralis (Melsheimer) = H. ochracea Kraatz = H. texana Casey = H. arizonica Casey = H. carinata Casey; sous-genre Arrhenandria, H. laeviventris Casey = H. acudentata Dury. L'espèce Genosema sexualis Notman est mise en synonymie avec H. pulchra Kraatz. Hoplandria brittoni Casey, qui était considéré comme synonyme de H. lateralis (Melsheimer), est ici transféré comme synonyme junior de Platandria carolinae Casey. On désigne des lectotypes pour les espèces suivantes : Gyrophaena lateralis Melsheimer, Hoplandria arizonica Casey, H. carinata Casey, H. laeviventris Casey, H. ochracea Kraatz, H. pulchra Kraatz et H. texana Casey. En outre des tableaux de détermination sont présentés pour tous les sous-genres et espèces. De plus l'auteur décrit et illustre pour la première fois toutes les espèces, à l'aide de dessins et de photographies au microscope électronique à balayage. Toutes les données disponible, concernant la répartition géographique et la biologie, sont compilées. Finalement l'auteur discute la morphologie, la systématique et la phylogénie de chaque sous-genre et de certaines espèces. Une liste des espèces néarctiques est incluse.
