Abstract

A neotype is proposed for Typhlocyba carneola Stål, 1858 (=Dikraneura carneola var. shoshone DeLong & Caldwell, 1937, syn. nov.), and Dikraneura sitkana Ball & DeLong is elevated to specific rank for the taxon previously known as Dikraneura carneola. Five other species are described from the Montane Cordilleran Ecozone: Colladonus keltoni Hamilton, Colladonus okanaganus Hamilton, Macrosteles frigidus Kwon, Macrosteles similis Kwon and Macrosteles vulgaris Kwon.
