Abstract

A provisional cladistic analysis of the species groups of Gonatocerus Nees is presented, based on 24 characters. Six species groups are defined, but only the four Nearctic ones are described. The species groups proposed are the ater, deficiens, litoralis, membraciphagus, straeleni, and sulphuripes groups. The ater group is divided into the morrilli, ater (s.s.), and bucculentus subgroups. Keys are provided to distinguish the species groups, and females of the sulphuripes- and ater-group species. Twenty-four species are recognized in the sulphuripes and ater groups for America north of Mexico. Eight species are recognized in the sulphuripes group, of which californicus, koebelei, maga, mexicanus, rivalis, and utahensis are redescribed. Two species, floridensis and lissonotus, are described as new. One new synonymy is proposed: titillatus is considered a junior synonym of utahensis. Sixteen species are recognized in the ater group, of which ashmeadi, capitatus, dolichocerus, fasciatus, latipennis, morrilli, novifasciatus, ovicenatus, and triguttatus are redescribed. Seven species, bucculentus, enicmophilus, flagellatus, impar, incomptus, inexpectatus, and inflatiscapus, are described as new. Two new synonymies are proposed: maximus is considered a junior synonym of latipennis, and marilandicus a junior synonym of dolichocerus. Lectotypes are designated for ashmeadi, capitatus, koebelei, mexicanus, morrilli, ovicenatus, triguttatus, and utahensis.

Résumé

Une analyse cladistique provisoire des groupes d'espèces du genre Gonatocerus Nees est présentée, basée sur 24 caractères. Les groupes proposés sont les suivants : ater, deficiens, litoralis, membraciphagus, straeleni, et sulphuripes. Le group ater est divisé en trois sous-groupes : morrilli, ater (s.s.), et bucculentus. Des clés sont données pour séparer aux espèces les femelles des groupes sulphuripes et ater. Les groupes sulphuripes et ater du genre Gonatocerus sont révisés pour l'Amérique du Nord. Vingt-quatre espèces sont reconnues dans ces deux groupes. Dans le groupe sulphuripes huit espèces sont reconnues. Six, californicus, koebelei, maga, mexicanus, rivalis, et utahensis sont redécrites. Deux, floridensis et lissonotus, sont nouvelles. Je considère titillatus comme synonyme nouvelle de utahensis. Dans le group ater seize espèces sont reconnues. Neuf, ashmeadi, capitatus, dolichocerus, fasciatus, latipennis, morrilli, novifasciatus, ovicenatus, et triguttatus sont redécrites. Je considère maximus et marilandicus, respectivement, comme synonymes nouvelles de latipennis et dolichocerus. Des léctotypes sont désignés pour ashmeadi, capitatus, koebelei, mexicanus, morrilli, ovicenatus, triguttatus, et utahensis.
