Extract

Study of the Nearctic members of Brillia showed that one species, Brillia par (Coquillett), belonged to an undescribed genus. To establish a name for use in other publications brief descriptions of all stages of this new genus, Xylotopus, are given. Detailed descriptions will be presented later. The identity of the immature stages have been established by rearing. Terminology follows that of Saether (1980).
