Abstract

The subgenus Chrysocharis s. str. in America north of Mexico consists of 18 species. Of these, six are new: Chrysocharis beckeri, subcircularis, bellincus, clarkae, truncatipennis, and levipectus. The name giraulti is proposed for petiolata Girault nec Förster. Key to species, descriptions, host records, and illustrations are included. Relationships of species-groups of North America and Europe are discussed.
