Abstract

The North American species of Dicladocerus are revised. Twelve new species from North America and one from Japan are described and illustrated: alaskensis, australis, prealatus, occidentalis, exoteliae, epinotiae, betulae, vulgaris, nearcticus, pacificus, japonicus, and terraenovae. The species attacking larch casebearer are nearcticus, pacificus, terraenovae, all Nearctic, and japonicus and westwoodii, Palaearctic. Relationships of species-groups in North America are discussed. A key to species, and host records are included.

Résumé

Révision taxonomique des espèces nord-américaines de Dicladocerus. L’auteur décrit et illustre douze nouvelles espèces nord-américaines et une japonaise : alaskensis, australis, prealatus, occidentalis, exoteliae, epinotiae, betulae, vulgaris, nearcticus, pacificus, japonicus et terraenovae. Les espèces qui attaquent le Porte-case du Mélèze sont nearcticus, pacificus, terraenovae, tous trois néarctiques, et japonicus, westwoodii paléarctiques. L’auteur discute des rapports entre les groupes d’espèces affines en Amérique du Nord. Il présente une clef d’identification des espèces et donne des informations sur les hôtes.
