Abstract

This study provides information on the species of Chrysocharis (Kratochviliana) found in North America with special emphasis on the Canadian species attacking the birch casebearer, Coleophora serratella (L.) (= fuscedinella Zeller), and the birch leafminer, Fenusa pusilla (Lepeletier).

The genus Chrysocharis Förster in North America north of Mexico consists of two subgenera, Kratochviliana Maláč and Chrysocharis s. str. There are 15 Nearctic species of Kratochviliana, of which 10 species are described herein as new. These are: C. (Kratochviliana) robusta n. sp., C. (K.) incerta n. sp., C. (K.) stipitis n. sp., C. (K.) hirsutiventris n. sp., C. (K.) walleyi n. sp., C. (K.) protolithocolletidis n. sp., C. (K.) milleri n. sp., C. (K.) aluta n. sp., C. (K.) coptodiscae n. sp., and C. (K.) cuspidigaster n. sp. Relationships and distribution of species-groups in North America and Europe are discussed. Keys to subgenera and species and host records are included.

Résumé

Voici des informations sur les espèces de Chrysocharis (Kratochviliana) trouvées en Amérique du Nord, insistant sur les espèces canadiennes qui attaquent le Porte-case du Bouleau, Coleophora serratella (L.) (= fuscedinella Zeller) et la petite Mineuse du Bouleau, Fenusa pusilla (Lepeletier).

Le genre Chrysocharis Förster en Amérique du Nord, au Nord du Mexique, consiste en deux sous-genres : Kratochviliana Maláč et Chrysocharis s. str. Il y a 15 espèces néarctiques de Kratochviliana, dont 10 nouvelles ici décrites qui s’appellent : C. (K.) robusta n. sp., C. (K.) incerta n. sp., C. (K.) stipitis n. sp., C. (K.) hirsutiventris n. sp., C. (K.) walleyi n. sp., C. (K.) protolithocolletidis n. sp., C. (K.) milleri n. sp., C. (K.) aluta n. sp., C. (K.) coptodiscae n. sp., et C. (K.) cuspidigaster n. sp. L’auteur discute la distrbiution et les rapports entre les groupes d’espèces nord-américaines et européennes. Il fournit des clés de sous-genres et d’espèces, et les mentions d’hôtes.
