Abstract

Orthops rubricatus (Fallén), a European species now known to occur in North America, is transferred to the genus Pinalitus Kelton. Pinalitus solivagus (Van Duzee) is reported from British Columbia, and P. utahensis Knight and P. brevirostris Knight are considered to be synonyms of it. Pinalitus rostratus n. sp. is described from Canada and western United States. Pinalitus californicus Knight is transferred to the genus Proba Distant. A key to species is provided.
