Synopsis

A focus on insect science in North America, from pests to mayflies, with detailed observations and new findings.

This issue presents a range of entomological studies and notes, including reports on the Fire Brat, Thermobia domestica, its distribution in Canada, and its life history in urban settings. It also features in-depth observations on mayflies of the Ephemerella and Ephemeroptera groups, with descriptions of nymphs and discussions of their morphology and coloration. Alongside these, the work includes studies in the Scarabaeidae with species descriptions and taxonomic notes, and broader notes on North American Lepidoptera and related groups. Throughout, the emphasis is on careful description, identification, and locality data drawn from field and museum specimens.

• Taxonomic notes and descriptions of Scarabaeidae and related groups with emphasis on North American specimens.


• Descriptions and plates for Ephemerella nymphs and related aquatic insects, with distribution notes.
