Item Amber fossil Enicocephalidae (Heteroptera) from the Lower Cretaceous of Lebanon and Oligo-Miocene of the Dominican Republic : with biogeographic analysis of Enicocephalus. American Museum novitates ; no. 3071(New York, N.Y. : American Museum of Natural History, 1993) Grimaldi, David A.; Michalski, Caroline.; Schmidt, Kathleen.Item Revision of the New World Enicocephalomorpha (Heteroptera). Bulletin of the AMNH ; no. 200([New York] : American Museum of Natural History, 1991) Wygodzinsky, Pedro W.; Schmidt, Kathleen."The taxonomy of the New World Encicocephalidae is treated in detail at the generic and specific level with the exception of Systelloderes Blanchard, for which only the genus is diagnosed. The tribe Systelloderini is resurrected to contain the genus Systelloderes within the Encicocephalinae. The new genera Chiricocoris, Lysenicocephalus, Neoncylocotis, Urnacephala, and Xenicocephalus are described. Thirty-eight new species are described in 9 genera. Enicocephalus marimutti Kritsky and E. yvonneae Kritsky are treated as junior synonyms of E. cubanus Barber; E. emarginatus Champion is treated as a junior synonym of E. pilosus Champion; Oncylocotis braziliensis Kritsky is treated as a junior synonym of Neoncylocotis stannardi (Kritsky). Several new combinations are created, particularly for species transferred to the genus Neoncylocotis. Keys are provided for all genera except Xenicocephalus, and for all species except those of Systelloderes. General reviews are provided for the following subject areas: biology; somatic structures and diagnostic characters; and genitalia, homologies, and the phylogeny of the New World taxa. Scanning electron microscopy is used intensively for the study of morphological structure, and the results in the form of micrographs are presented in conjunction with numerous line drawings"--P. 5.Item Survey of the Microcoryphia (Insecta) of the northeastern United States and adjacent provinces of Canada. American Museum novitates ; no. 2701(New York, N.Y. : American Museum of Natural History, 1980) Wygodzinsky, Pedro W.; Schmidt, Kathleen.A survey of the Microcoryphia of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania as well as the New England states and the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland showed four species present. Petrobius brevistylis and Trigoniophthalmus alternatus were probably introduced from Europe on ballast; Pedetontus saltator, new species, and Machiloides petauristes, new species, are native. Petrobius canadensis Paclt, 1969, is synonymized with Petrobius brevistylis Carpenter, 1913. The presence of Petrobius maritimus (Leach) in North America is not confirmed. Machilis variabilis Say, described from 'North America,' is not identifiable. Males were not found among the hundreds of specimens of North American Trigoniophthalmus alternatus examined, making a parthenogenetic mode of reproduction highly likely. Males were rare in Petrobius brevistylis (approximately 3 percent of all specimens examined), and were not discovered among the limited material of the new species of Pedetontus and Machiloides"--P. [1].
