| Summary: | Phthinia mikmaqi Fitzgerald & Kerr n. sp. Figs. 20–24 Type material. Holotype: ♂ (Fig. 20) [CNCI], “Mount Uniacke, N.S. 5.VIII.1958, J.R. Vockeroth” / “ HOLOTYPE 13N263, Phthinia mikmaqi ♂, Fitzgerald & Kerr, 2014 ” [red label], mounted directly on side of pin, nearly complete specimen, missing part of left front leg, terminalia dissected. Etymology. This species is named after the First Nations people, Mi’kmaq, whose territories include the Canadian Maritime Provinces where this species was found. The Mi’kmaq people are politically active, and fight to protect clean water and other natural resources in New Brunswick from “fracking” and other polluting forms of land exploitation. The Mi’kmaq people are an inspiration for environmental engagement worldwide. Diagnosis and comments. In the Nearctic region, P. mikmaqi n. sp. is most similar to P. neptunei n. sp., but can be distinguished by the bilobate gonostylus in P. mikmaqi n. sp. and trilobite gonostylus in P. neptunei n. sp.
