Abstract

The genus Gryon Haliday in North America is revised. Twenty-seven species are recognized, 12 of them new to science: G. aculeator, G. acutiventre, G. atrum, G. chelinideae, G. elatior, G. longipenne, G. obesum, G. radiculare, G. stewarti, G. triangulum, G. vitripenne, and G. xanthosoma. The tribe Gryonini is discussed, and a key to North American genera of the tribe is included. A generic diagnosis of Gryon is given, and seven species-groups are discussed and(or) proposed. A key, diagnoses, relationships, and bionomics of species in North America are given. New terms for additional characters found on the posterior surfaces of the head are defined and figured.

Résumé

Nous révisons les espèces nord-américaines du genre Gryon Haliday. Nous reconnaissons 27 espèces dont 12 nouvelles : G. aculeator, G. acutiventre, G. atrum, G. chelinideae, G. elatior, G. longipenne, G. obesum, G. radiculare, G. stewarti, G. triangulum, G. vitripenne, et G. xanthosoma. Nous discutons de la tribu des Gryonini et incluons une clef des genres nord-américains de cette tribu. Nous pourvoyons une diagnose du genre Gryon et de chacun de ses sept groupes dont quelques uns sont proposés pour la première fois. De plus, nous présentons une clef des espèces et pour chaque espèce une diagnose, leurs affinités et leurs bionomiques. Finallement, nous désignons de nouvelles structures se trouvant sur l'aire postérieure de la tête.
