Abstract

The genus Praon is revised. Thirteen North American species north of Mexico are recognized, including one new to science: P. carinum sp. nov. Praon cerasaphis (Fitch) and P. coloradense Ashmead are retained as Species inquirende. The female of P. alaskense Ashmead and the male of P. artemisaphis Smith are described for the first time. Praon nanus Baker, P. exsoletum palitans Muesebeck, P. aguti Smith, and P. negundinus Smith are placed in synonymy. The genus Parapraon Stary is considered a synonym of Praon Haliday. A generic diagnosis of Praon Haliday is given, and a key, diagnoses, and illustrations of North American species are provided.

Résumé

On a révisé le genre Praon. On reconnait 13 espèces nord-américaines valides au nord du Mexique, y compris une espèce nouvelle pour la science, P. carinum sp. nov. Praon cerasaphis (Fitch), et P. coloradense Ashmead sont retenues en tant que Species inquirende. La femelle de P. alaskense Ashmead et le mâle de P. artemisaphis Smith sont décrites pour la première fois. Praon nanus Baker, P. exsoletum palitans Muesebeck, P. aguti Smith et P. negundinus Smith sont mis en synonymie. Le genre Parapraon Stary est considéré comme synonyme de Praon Haliday. On fournit un diagnostique générique de Praon Haliday, et une clé, des caractères diagnostiques et des illustrations des espèces nord-américaines.
