Abstract

Nine species of Ceromya Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Tachinidae: Siphonini) are recognized in the Nearctic region, including four new species, and one described species known previously only from the Palearctic region. The species are arranged into three species groups, with each group hypothesized to be monophyletic and each containing extralimital members. The three species groups and nine Nearctic species are as follows: the bicolor-group with C. bicolor (Meigen) (a Holarctic species newly recorded from the Nearctic region); the flaviseta-group with C. Ontario (Curran) and C. palloris (Coquillett); and the americana-group with C. americana (Townsend), C. balli sp.nov. (type-locality Masham Township, Quebec, Canada), C. elyii (Walton), C. flava sp.nov. (type-locality Masham Township, Quebec, Canada), C. oriens sp.nov. (type-locality Masham Township, Quebec, Canada), and C. occidentalis sp.nov. (type-locality Lakelse Lake, British Columbia, Canada). The bicolor-group has an Old World – Nearctic distribution, the flaviseta-group has an European–Nearctic distribution, and the americana-group has a Neotropical–Nearctic distribution. Adults of the nine Nearctic species of Ceromya are keyed and described, known hosts are listed (including corrections to published records), distributions are mapped, and taxonomically useful features are illustrated.

Résumé

Dans la région néarctique, neuf espèces de Ceromya Robineau-Descoidy (Diptera : Tachinidae : Siphonini) sont reconnues, dont quatre sont nouvelles et une, déjà décrite, n’était connue à ce jour que dans la région paléarctique. Les espèces sont réparties en trois groupes et chaque groupe est présumé monophylétique et peut contenir des espèces qui vivent hors des limites de répartition géographique de la majorité des espèces du groupe. Les trois groupes d’espèces et neuf espèces néarctiques sont : le groupe bicolor, qui contient C. bicolor (Meigen) (une espèce holarctique récemment trouvée dans la région néarctique), le groupe flaviseta, qui contient C. Ontario (Curran) et C. palloris (Coquillett), et le groupe americana qui contient C. americana (Townsend), C. balli sp.nov. (localité type : comté de Masham, Québec, Canada), C. elyii (Walton), C. flava sp.nov. (localité type : comté de Masham, Québec, Canada), C. oriens sp.nov. (localité type : comté de Masham, Québec, Canada) et C. occidentalis sp.nov. (localité type : Lakelse Lake, Colombie-Britannique, Canada). La répartition du groupe bicolor s’étend dans l’ancien monde et dans la région néarctique, le groupe flaviseta a une répartition européenne–néarctique et le groupe americana a une répartition néotropicale–néarctique. On trouvera ici une clé d’identification des adultes des neuf espèces néarctiques de Ceromya ainsi que leur description, la liste de leurs hôtes (avec corrections apportées aux mentions antérieures), des cartes de répartition ainsi que des illustrations des caractéristiques diagnostiques.
