Abstract

The Nearctic fauna of the genus Calamoncosis Enderlein is reviewed. Five species are present in eastern North America: C. carncrossi Nartshuk was recently described from New York; the Palearctic species C. aprica (Meigen) and C. glyceriae Nartshuk are newly recorded, and two new species, C. brooksi and C. munda, are described from eastern North America. A sixth species present in the Nearctic Region is represented by one female specimen and is not identifiable. Most Nearctic specimens were collected in peatlands or marshes in Quebec, but there are scattered records from other grass-dominated habitats in Ontario, Manitoba, New York, and Texas. A key to the described species of Calamoncosis in the Nearctic Region is given.

Résumé

Nous révisons la faune néarctique du genre Calamoncosis Enderlein. Il y a cinq espèces présentes dans l'est de l'Amérique du Nord: C. carncrossi Nartshuk récemment décrit de l'état de New York, les espèces paléarctiques C. aprica (Meigen) et C. glyceriae Nartshuk nouvellement signalées et deux nouvelles espèces, C. brooksi et C. munda, décrites ici de l'est de l'Amérique du Nord. Une sixième espèce est présente dans la région néarctique, mais le seul spécimen femelle connu n'est pas identifiable. La plupart des spécimens néarctiques ont été récoltés dans des tourbières ou des marécages au Québec, mais il y a récoltes éparpillées provenant d'autres habitats dominés par les herbes en Ontario, au Manitoba, au New York et au Texas. Une clé permet d'identifier les espèces néarctiques connues de Calamoncosis.
