Four species of
Gnathusa Fenyes (
G. alfacaribou Klimaszewski & Langor,
G. caribou Lohse,
G. eva Fenyes, and
G. tenuicornis Fenyes) occur in the Nearctic and in Canada. Three species of
Ocyusa Kraatz (
O. asperula Casey,
O. californica Bernhauer,
O. canadensis Lohse), and three species of
Mniusa Mulsant and Ray (
M. minutissima (Klimaszewski & Langor),
M. yukonensis (Klimaszewski & Godin), and
M. odelli Klimaszewski & Webster, sp. n.), are known from the Nearctic and all but
O. californica occur in Canada. The recently described
Gnathusa minutissima Klimaszewski and Langor and
Ocyusa yukonensis Klimaszewski and Godin, are transferred here to the genus
Mniusa Mulsant & Rey. New provincial and state records are reported for:
G. eva (Alberta),
G. tenuicornis (Alberta, Oregon, and New Brunswick),
O. canadensis (New Brunswick and Newfoundland),
M. minutissima (New Brunswick), and
M. yukonensis (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, and British Columbia). The female of
M. yukonensis was discovered and is illustrated for the first time. The genus
Mniusa is reported for the first time from Canada and represents the first confirmed generic record for North America. Keys for identification of all Canadian species, images of body and genital structures, maps showing distribution mainly in Canada, and new bionomics data are provided.
