Abstract

Empoides Vilbaste, 1968 is synonymized with Empoa Fitch, 1851, which is treated as a subgenus of Typhlocyba Germar, 1833, with 9 new combinations. The male genitalia are illustrated. The gillettei complex, consisting of 14 Nearctic species with identical male genitalia, is analyzed using 90 series taken on identified hosts. T. bella and T. unifasciata n. spp. are described from eastern Canada, and three new synonymies based on colour variation are presented: Empoa acericola Christian, 1953 and E. caryata Christian, 1953 = E. gillettei Van Duzee, 1917, and E. elmata Christian, 1953 = T. saffrana McAtee, 1926. A key to the species of the gillettei complex is included.

Résumé

Empoides Vilbaste, 1968 est rendu synonyme de Empoa Fitch, 1851 traité comme sous-genre de Typhlocyba Germar, 1833 avec 9 nouvelles combinaisons. Les genitalia mâles sont illustrés. Le complexe gillettei, composé de 14 espèces néarctiques aux genitalia mâles identiques, est analysé à l'aide de 90 séries prélevées sur des hôtes connus. L'ouvrage décrit T. bella et T. unifasciata n. spp. en provenance de l'est du Canada et présente 3 nouvelles synonymies basées sur la variation des couleurs, soit Empoa acericola Christian, 1953 et caryata Christian, 1953 = E. gillettei Van Duzee, 1917, et E. elmata Christian, 1953 = T. saffrana McAtee, 1926. Il comprend une clef d'identification des espèces du complexe gillettei.
