Abstract

These first North American records for Polymerus cognatus (Fieber) from across Canada and the northeast United States, and P. vulneratus (Wolff) from northwest North America, indicate that the two species are naturally Holarctic. Diagnoses and dorsal habitus illustrations are provided to distinguish the taxa from other North American Polymerus species. An argument for considering P. balli Knight, P. cognatus, P. elegans (Reuter), P. flaviloris Knight, P. froeschneri Knight, and P. vulneratus a monophyletic species-group is presented.

Résumé

On rapporte la présence de Polymerus cognatus (Fieber) au Canada et au nord-est des États-Unis ainsi que de P. vulneratus (Wolff) au nord-ouest de l’Amérique du Nord. Ces premières mentions pour le continent nord-américain indiquent que ces deux espèces sont indigènes à la région holarctique. On fournit des diagnoses et des illustrations d’habitus en vue dorsale afin de différencier ces taxons des autres espèces nord-américaines de Polymerus. Une discussion de la nature monophylétique probable du groupe d’espèces comprenant P. balli Knight, P. cognatus, P. elegans (Reuter), P. flaviloris Knight, P. froeschneri Knight, et P. vulneratus est présentée.
