Abstract

Chlorita nearctica is described from the Yukon Territory and is the first member of its genus found in the New World. A synopsis is presented to the Old World species of Chlorita Fieber, 1866 (Typhlocybinae, tribe Empoascini). A new typhlocybine tribe Forcipatini is created for Forcipata DeLong & Caldwell, 1936 and Notus Fieber, 1866. A synopsis of the genus Notus is presented, with Curta as a subgenus containing only the type species. Notus isolatus sp.nov. is described from Drummond Island, Michigan, in Lake Huron and from Quebec. A synopsis of the genus Forcipata DeLong & Caldwell is presented; all species belong to a single subgenus. Five new species are described: F. forficula from Florida, F. ips from Alaska and Yukon, F. montana from the mountains of British Columbia and Montana, and F. unica and F. xlix from Wisconsin. The New World species of the forcipatine genera are keyed.

Résumé

On trouvera ici la description de Chlorita nearctica du Yukon, la première espèce du genre au Nouveau Monde. Un synopsis des espèces de Chlorita Fieber, 1866 (Typhlocybinae, tribu Empoascini) de l’Ancien Monde est présenté. Une nouvelle tribu est créée chez les typhlocybinés, celle des Forcipatini, à laquelle appartiennent Forcipata DeLong et Caldwell, 1936 et Notus Fieber, 1866. Le genre Notus est présenté ici brièvement et il contient le sous-genre Curta qui ne contient que l’espèce type. Notus isolatus n. sp., a été trouvé en Michigan dans l’île de Drummond au lac Huron, et au Québec; on en trouvera ici la description. Un synopsis du genre Forcipata DeLong et Caldwell est également présente; toutes les espèces appartiennent au même sous-genre. Cinq nouvelles espèces sont décrites : F. forficula de Floride, F. ips d’Alaska et du Yukon, F. montana des montagnes de Colombie-Britannique et du Montana, F. unica et F. xlix du Wisonsin. Une clé permettra d’identifier les espèces néarctiques des genres de Forcipatini.
