Abstract

The New World species of Trissolcus, exclusive of the flavipes and thyantae species groups, are revised. This encompasses seven species: T. basalis (Wollaston) recorded in the southeastern USA, West Indies, Venezuela, and southeastern Brazil; T. cosmopeplae (Gahan) from the USA and Canada; T. erugatus n. sp. from the western USA and Canada; T. hullensis (Harrington) widely distributed throughout Canada, USA, Mexico, Dominica, and Venezuela; T. radix n. sp. from Guatemala, Costa Rica, Colombia, Venezuela, and the southeastern USA; T. solocis n. sp. from Mexico and the southeastern USA; and T. utahensis (Ashmead) from the western USA and Canada. Available host information for each species is summarized. These species are described and an identification key is provided.

Résumé

On a révisé les espèces de Trissolcus du Nouveau Monde à l'exclusion des espèces de flavipes et de thyantae. Sept espèces sont donc inclues : T. basalis (Wollaston) est mentionnée dans le sud-est des USA, les Antilles, le Vénézuela et le sud-est du Brésil; T. cosmopeplae (Gahan) aux USA et au Canada; T. erugatus n. sp. dans l'ouest des USA et du Canada; T. hullensis (Harrington) est largement distribuée à travers le Canada, les USA, le Mexique, la République Dominicaine et le Venezuela; T. radix n. sp. au Guatemala, au Costa Rica, en Colombie, au Venezuela et au sud-est des USA; et T. utahensis (Ashmead) dans l'ouest des USA et au Canada. On résume l'information disponible sur les hôtes de chaque espèce. On décrit ces espèces et une clé d'identification est fournie.
