Abstract

The Nearctic species of the genus Metaclisis are revised. Of 18 species recognized, 16 of them new to science as follows: M. acericola (Quebec, Ontario), M. acerina (Quebec, Ontario, Illinois), M. aceris (Quebec, Ontario), M. acuta (Arizona), M. alticola (New Mexico), M. annae (Texas), M. attenuata (California), M. borealis (Labrador), M. ensifer (California), M. filicornis (Ontario), M. longula (Illinois, Maryland, Ontario), M. masoni (Manitoba), M. pumilio (Ontario, Quebec, Illinois, Maryland, N. and S. Carolina), M. sulcata (Eastern Canada and U.S.A., Tennessee), M. verna (Ontario), and M. vernalis (Quebec, Ontario, Maryland). M. carinata (Ashmead) ♀ and M. floridana (Ashmead) ♂ are redescribed and the male of M. floridana is newly described. A generic diagnosis of Metaclisis and keys to females and males of Nearctic species are given. The higher classification, bionomics, world distribution, and character states of Metaclisis species are discussed.

Parmi les 18 espèces reconnues, 16 sont nouvelles, soit M. acericola (Québec, Ontario), M. acerina (Québec, Ontario, Illinois), M. aceris (Québec, Ontario), M. acuta (Arizona), M. alticola (Nouveau Mexique), M. annae (Texas), M. attenuata (Californie), M. borealis (Labrador), M. ensifer (Californie), M. filicornis (Ontario), M. longula (Illinois, Maryland, Ontario), M. masoni) (Manitoba), M. pumilio (Ontario, Québec, Illinois, Maryland, Caroline du Nord et du Sud), M. sulcata (est du Canada et des États-Unis, Tennessee), M. verna (Ontario) et M. vernalis (Québec, Ontario, Maryland). M. carinata (Ashmead) et M. floridana (Ashmead) sont redécrits et le mâle de M. floridana est décrit pour la première fois. L’auteur présente un diagnostic générique Metaclisis et des clefs d’identification des femelles et des mâles de certaines espèces néarctiques. Il étudie la classification supérieure, la bionomie, la répartition mondiale et la manifestation des caractères d’espèces de Metaclisis.
