Abstract

Six new species and one new subspecies of <i>Idiocerus</i> are described: <i>I. cabottii</i> from N.S., <i>I. canae</i> from Alberta, <i>I. glacialis</i> and <i>I. indistinctus</i> from B.C., and <i>I. albolinea</i>, <i>I. musteus arsiniatus</i> and <i>I. setaceus</i>, widespread east of the Cordilleran region. The identities of <i>I. duzeei</i> Provancher (N.S.-Ont.) and <i>I. interruptus</i> Gillette & Baker (N.S.-Colo.) are discussed, and these species are removed from synonymy.
