Abstract

Seven species of Nabicula Kirby occur in Canada: N. americolimbata (Carayon), N. flavomarginata (Scholtz), N. limbata (Dahlbom), N. nigrovittata nearctica (Kerzhner), N. propinqua (Reuter), N. subcoleoptrata Kirby, and N. vanduzeei (Kirkaldy), of which N. limbata is officially recorded for the first time for North America. A faunistic review of the species, key to all taxa, generic diagnosis, and characters distinguishing male and female last-instar nymphs are presented. As appropriate for each species, die following are provided: synonymy, description of adult, wing polymorphism, taxonomic comments, detailed geographical distribution, bioecology, and illustration of important structural characters and nymphal instars. The last-instar nymphs of N. americolimbata, N. nigrovittata nearctica, N. propinqua, N. subcoleoptrata, and N. vanduzeei are described and illustrated for the first time. The biogeography of Nabicula is considered with regard to species diversity patterns, ecological assemblages, species distribution patterns, and relationships between macroptery and geographical distribution.

Résumé

Sept espèces de Nabicula Kirby se rencontrent au Canada : N. americolimbata (Carayon), N. flavomarginata (Scholtz), N. nigrovittata nearctica (Kerzhner), N. propinqua (Reuter), N. subcoleoptrata Kirby, N. vanduzeei (Kirkaldy) et N. limbata (Dahlbom) qui fait l’objet d’une première mention officielle pour l’Amérique du Nord. L’auteure présente une révision faunistique de ces espèces, un tableau de détermination des taxons, une diagnose du genre et les caractères qui distinguent, au dernier stade, les larves mâles et femelles. Selon l’espèce on fournit la synonymie, la description de l’adulte, des données sur le polymorphisme alaire, des commentaires taxinomiques, la répartition géographique détaillée, des données bioécologiques et les illustrations des caractères morphologiques importants et des derniers stades larvaires. Les dernières larves de N. americolimbata, N. nigrovittata nearctica, N. propinqua, N. subcoleoptrata et N. vanduzeei sont décrites et illustrées pour le première fois. L’auteure discute aussi de la biogéographie du genre Nabicula, surtout en ce qui a trait à la diversité des espèces, aux assemblages écologiques, aux types de distribution et à la relation entre le macroptérisme et la distribution géographique.
