Notes on the geographic distribution and biology of Meloidae (Coleoptera) in North and Central America

This paper covers 45 species in the U.S.A., Canada, Guyana, and Mexico in the genera Epicauta Dejean, 1834, Gnathium Kirby, 1818, Lytta Fabricius, 1875, Megetra LeConte, 1859, and Meloe Linnaeus, 1758, to include three new country records, 12 new state/provincial records, seven new host records, and numerous range extensions.

Spastomeloe, a New Genus of Meloini from Peru (Cole?ptera: Meloidae)

In the new genus Spastomeloe, described in the present paper, the alate condition of Spastonyx is combined with the first larvaltype, thus rendering wing development and larval type fully incompatible in the cladistic sense and, as discussed below, considerably strengthening the argument that the genus Meloe is polyphyletic.
