| Summary: | Abstract Cerodontha ( Icteromyza ) pilosa n. sp. is described from the Yukon Territory. The Palaearctic species C. ( I. ) lineella (Zetterstedt) is recorded for the first time in North America, based on specimens from northern Canada and Alaska, and C. ( I. ) pollinosa (Melander) is synonymized with C. lineella . Cerodontha pilosa is most similar to C. ( I. ) longipennis (Loew) and C. ( I. ) lineella . Distinguishing characters and a modification of Spencer’s key to Canadian species of Cerodontha are given to separate these species. |
