| Abstract: | A taxonomic revision of the Nearctic C. flavidus species group is provided with a key to species, descriptions, distribution maps, and illustrations of wings and antennae for each of the 9 species currently recognized in this group (of which 7 were previously known: C. atlanticus, C. brunneus, C. celatus, C. dixianus, C. flavidus, C. pudicus and C. reicherti). The relationships and identification of these 9 species are based on analysis of morphological similarity involving 13 critical characters. A total of 4843 specimens from 14 institutions was examined during this study. Two new species in the C. flavidus group are described, C. sandyi sp. nov. (from Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi, USA) and C. tumidicornis sp. nov. (from Florida), both previously misidentified as C. atlanticus. The male of C. dixianus is described for the first time. |
