Abstract

Eight new genera, seven Nearctic and one Holarctic, are described in the subfamily Sciophilinae. These genera, and their type-species, are: Loicia (L. basifurca n. sp.), Acadia (A. polypori n. sp.), Acomoptera (Eudicrana plexipus Garrett), Adicroneura (A. biocellata n. sp.), Aglaomyia (A. gatineau n. sp.), Drepanocerus (D. ensifer n. sp.), Garrettella (Leia shermani Garrett), Saigusaia (Boletina cincta Johannsen). Sixteen other new combinations and two new synonyms, mostly for species described by Garrett and Sherman, are proposed.
