American Museum novitates ; no. 2592(New York, N.Y. : American Museum of Natural History, 1976) Rindge, Frederick H."A summary is given of our current knowledge of the Semiothisini, Glaucinini, and Boarmiini of the peninsula of Baja California, Mexico. The members of these three tribes are among the most commonly collected geometrids of the subfamily Ennominae caught on the peninsula, comprising about half the genera and half the species now known. The Semiothisini and Glaucinini have species that tend to be widely distributed in Baja California, and to have relatively few endemic taxa; the Boarmiini, on the other hand, tend to be more localized in their distribution, with a much higher percentage of endemic species. In all three tribes, the great majority of species have their closest relationships with the fauna of California and the Sonoran Desert of the United States. The following new species are described (all are from Baja California unless otherwise specified): Semiothisa piccoloi, Semiothisa baegerti, Hemimorina angulosa, Glaucina semidura, Pterotaea expallida (Sonora), and Pterotaea spinigera"--P. [1].Item The Ephydridae (Diptera) of the Bahama Islands.

American Museum novitates ; no.3020(New York, N.Y. : American Museum of Natural History, 1991) Rindge, Frederick H.Item The Eupithecia (Lepidoptera, Geometridae) of Chile. Bulletin of the AMNH ; v. 186, article 3([New York] : American Museum of Natural History, 1987) Rindge, Frederick H."The present paper is the first attempt to describe all the Eupithecia of Chile, including the Juan Fernandez Islands. The few previously named species are redescribed in the same format as the new species, with descriptions and illustrations of the adults, male antennae, ventral plates, and male and female genitalia. Separate keys are provided for males and females; a number of the species are known only from one sex, so the keys are, of necessity, incomplete. The Eupithecia of Chile are divided into two sections. The first has males with the tergite of the eighth segment fully sclerotized, and the sternite (or ventral plate) with each lateral piece separate; the second has the male tergite reduced to a slender median strip and the ventral plate has a wide anterior basal portion with two attached, posteriorly extending arms. Section 2 is subdivided into four groups, based primarily on the nature of the female genitalia. These structures of the species of Section 1 have each bursa copulatrix elongate and membranous, with at least the posterior half having parallel striations. In Section 2, the females of Group A have the round or elliptical bursa copulatrix entirely membranous; of Group B, similar to the preceding but with symmetrical ornamentation, either in the form of areas or strips of minute spines or setae, or in elongate spines surrounding or partially encircling the areas of minute spines; of Group C, the bursa copulatrix has a sclerotized, usually longitudinally striate strip extending between the ductus bursae and the origin of the ductus seminalis; and, of Group D, the bursa is an elongate structure with numerous prominent stellate spines encircling the organ. A total of 43 species are recognized in this paper. Of these, three are endemic to the Juan Fernandez Islands, while the remaining 39 are endemic to the mainland of Chile. Of the latter, the following 29 are described as new: anticura, atacamaensis, aysenae, cabrasae, caburgua, canchasae, correana, curacautinae, encoensis, grappleri, horismoides, juncalensis, malchoensis, mallecoensis, maule, nahuelbuta, nublae, osornoensis, petrohue, picada, pucatrihue, recintoensis, seatacama, taracapa, tenoensis, trancasae, transexpiata, valdivia, vallenarensis, and yelchoensis. The following new subjective synonyms are proposed: Heteropithecia Vojnits (1985), Neopithecia Vojnits (1985), and Propithecia Vojnits (1985) are placed under Eupithecia Curtis (1825); akerbergsi Vojnits (1985) under spurcata Warren (1904); praelongata Warren (1900) and davisi Vojnits (1985) under sibylla Butler (1882); and kristenseni Vojnits (1985) under rosalia Butler (1882)"--P. 271.Item The Eupithecia (Lepidoptera, Geometridae) of Mississippi and Louisiana. American Museum novitates ; no. 2809(New York, N.Y. : American Museum of Natural History, 1985) Rindge, Frederick H."Seven species of Eupithecia (Larentiinae) are found in the states of Mississippi and Louisiana. One of these, occurring throughout the southeastern United States, has been misidentified as herefordaria; it is described as E. matheri, new species (type locality: Vicksburg, Mississippi). The true herefordaria Cassino and Swett is redescribed; it is found only in southeastern Arizona. Two other new species are described: E. vicksburgi (type locality: Vicksburg, Mississippi) and E. broui (type locality: Weyanoke, Louisiana). The other taxa found in these two states are E. peckorurn Heitzman and Enns (reported for the first time from both states and eastern Texas), miserulata Grote, jejunata MeDunnough, and swettii Grossbeck. Diagnostic notes are given for exudata Pearsall, from the Middle Atlantic states, to distinguish it from matheri and jejunata. All species are described; the adults and genitalia are illustrated"--P. [1].Item Generic descriptions of New World Lithinini (Lepidoptera, Geometridae). American Museum novitates ; no. 2838(New York, N.Y. : American Museum of Natural History, 1986) Rindge, Frederick H."The six genera of Lithinini from North America have been studied and described previously, but practically nothing is known about the members of this tribe from the remainder of the New World. Moths from Chile and adjacent Argentina have been studied for this group, and a number of genera are defined. The following genera and their type species (all described as new) are proposed: Yalpa (Y. dalcahue), Callemo (C. monotonos), Guara (G. rhaphis), Siopla (S. derance), Nucara (N. recurva), Acauro (A. rotundus), Calta (C. lamella), Yapoma (Y. chone), Duraglia (D. xanthe), and Laneco (L. suffuscus). The following generic changes are proposed: Proteopharmacis Warren, 1895, is placed as a junior subjective synonym of Odontothera Butler, 1882; Catrielia Orfila and Schajovskoy, '1959' (1960), is placed as a junior subjective synonym of Euclidiodes Butler, 1895; Incalvertia, replacement name and new status is proposed for Calvertia Warren, 1908, not Bourguignat, 1880. On the specific level, Lacaria monrosi Orfila and Schajovskoy, 1959, is placed as a synonym of L. schajovskoyi (Sperry, 1954); as this leaves the former species that was incorrectly identified without a name, Lacaria orfilai, new species, is proposed for this taxon. Orfila and Schajovskoy, 1959, published the new tribal name Lacarini. After studying the group, I place the name Lacarini as a junior subjective synonym of Lithinini. All the genera included in this paper have some of their diagnostic characters listed in several tables, are fully described, and are separable by using the keys to the adults based on external morphology and male genitalia. Illustrations for adults and genitalia of all the genera are included. The difficulty with defining the Lithinini as a monophyletic group, based on shared apomorphic characters of the adults, is discussed. It is suggested that a careful analysis of the eggs, larvae, and pupae will have to be undertaken before any definitive characterization of the group can be obtained"--P. [1].Item A generic revision of the New World Nacophorini (Lepidoptera, Geometridae). Bulletin of the AMNH ; v. 175, article 2([New York] : American Museum of Natural History, 1983) Rindge, Frederick H."The present paper is the first attempt to define the genera of the New World Nacophorini. Owing to the very large number of species of the Ennominae, to which the Nacophorini belong, an almost complete lack of previous revisionary studies, and no earlier effort to delimit this tribe for the entire New World, the results of the present paper must be considered provisional at best; hopefully, a good starting point has been established for continuing research and understanding of the Nacophorini. A total of 187 species was studied, and 161 columns of data were obtained for each of them based on external morphology and the male and female genitalia. In a number of cases it was possible to establish the relative plesiomorphy or apomorphy for these character states. A grouping of the species resulted in their being placed in 40 genera; some of their more important characters are listed in several tables, are fully described, and are separable by using the keys to the adults based on external morphology and male genitalia. Illustrations for adults and genitalia of all genera are included. Ceratonyx, Yermoia, and Dentinalia, all previously revised by me, were found to be polyphyletic and have been subdivided. The following new genera are proposed; the type species is given only when it is described as new in this revision: Papago, Salasaca (S. spinea), Hildalgo, Cundinamarca (C. parallela), Aragua, Azuayia, Tarma, Charca (C. triquetra), Nazca, Rucana, Achagua (A. obsolete), Quillaca (Q. earina), Anischnopteris, Canelo (C. constrictus), Aconcagua, Arauco, Omaguacua, Huapianus (H. obater), and Poya. The following changes in status are proposed: Mallomus, described by E. Blanchard in the Hepialidae, was found to belong to the Nacophorini; this name takes priority over Salpis Mabille and its several synonyms. Dasystole Warren is also placed in the synonymy of Mallomus. Ischnopterix Hübner and Amblurodes Warren are synonymized under Ischnopteris Hübner. Catophoenissa Warren and Calvertia Warren are transferred to the Lithinini; Talca catophoenissoides Angulo is placed as a synonym of Calvertia fumipennis Warren. The tribe is divided into four groups based on a combination of characters including, among others, the presence or absence of a functional proboscis, a simple or complex uncus in the male genitalia, and present-day distribution. An analysis of the character states with regard to which are relatively more primitive or more derived suggests that the two most plesiotypic groups are found primarily in North America and in Chile and southern Argentina. In the New World the Nacophorini are found from southern Canada to Chile and southern Argentina, plus the Greater Antilles and the Galapagos Islands. The tribe is also known from Australia and Tasmania. This Chilean-southem South American and Australian distribution strongly suggests that the Gondwanian fragmentation contributed to the present-day distribution of the tribe. These Gondwanian elements, plus plesiotypic components in North America, indicate an ancestral distribution of perhaps pre-Gondwanian age. The Greater Antillean-Galapagos distribution, found in Thyrinteina, can possibly be explained by the ancestral moths being present on the proto-Antilles in the late Mesozoic when this volcanic archipelago connected North and South America; subsequent plate tectonic events formed the Greater Antilles in an eastern movement and the Galapagos in a southwestern shift in the middle or late Tertiary. The present distribution of Holochroa is in the southwestern United States, western Mexico, and the Tres Marías Islands; the group is not known from Baja California. This peninsula was originally part of western Mexico; it began to separate from the mainland at least four million years ago. The Tres Marías Islands are undoubtedly a fragment of the original peninsula that broke off during the rafting of the latter; the separation of Baja California was completed by late Miocene and early Pliocene. Presumably, representatives of the ancestral Holochroa were in western Mexico prior to the splitting; they, for whatever reasons, separated into two species on the Tres Marías but apparently did not survive on the Baja California peninsula"--P. 147.
