Abstract

The North American species of Momonia Halbert, 1906, are revised. Larvae, deutonymphs, and adults of Momonia campylotibia sp.nov. are described, adults of Momonia marciae Habeeb and Momonia projecta Cook are redescribed, and deutonymphs of M. projecta are described for the first time. New morphological, life history, and distributional data are presented for all species. A new diagnosis of Momonia is proposed, and a key to adults of all known species of the genus is included.

Résumé

L’auteur révise les espèces du genre Momonia Halbert, 1906, de l’Amérique du Nord. Il décrit des larves, des deutonymphes et des adultes de Momonia campylotibia, nouvelle espèce, il décrit de nouveau des adultes de Momonia marciae Habeeb et de Momonia projecta Cook, et il décrit des deutonymphes de M. projecta pour la première fois. Des nouvelles données sur la morphologie, le cycle biologique, et la répartition de chaque espèce sont présentées. L’auteur présente un nouveau diagnostic de Momonia, et une clef d’identification aux adultes des espèces connues du genre.
