Abstract. The North American sawflies (Hymenoptera) occurring north of Mexico with larvae feeding on ferns (Polypodiopsida) are reviewed. They include the introduced European stipe borer Heptamelus dahlbomi (Thomson) (Heptamelidae) and 21 external feeders in the tribes Aneugmenini and Strongylogastrini (Tenthredinidae: Selandriinae). Host and distribution records are summarized for each species, and descriptions of larvae are provided where available. The first USA records are given for the introduced Palearctic species Strongylogaster macula (Klug) (previously known from Canada). New host records include: Athyrium asplenioides var. angustum (Willd.) T. Moore (Athyriaceae) for Aneugmenus flavipes (Norton), S. macula, and Thrinax albidopicta (Norton); Onoclea sensibilis L. (Onocleaceae) for S. impressata Provancher; and Osmunda claytoniana L. (Osmundaceae) for S. polita Cresson. A list of fern species and their sawfly associates is provided, including descriptions of unidentified larvae.

Abstract. Denning described the apparently uncommon species Polycentropus timesis (Denning, 1948) based on a single male specimen from Massachusetts. Since its original description, additional specimens of P. timesis have been collected from New Hampshire and Michigan. The previous description and illustration of the species are inadequate. Here, the male of the species is redescribed and re-diagnosed, the female is described and diagnosed for the first time, the wing venation and the genitalia of both sexes are figured, and the species is transferred to the genus Holocentropus, resulting in Holocentropus timesis (Denning, 1948), new combination.

Abstract. The species Ambrysus sonorensis Usinger, 1946 was originally described based on only the male holotype from northwestern Mexico; nonetheless, features of the females are the most reliable to correctly identify a species in the genus Ambrysus Stål. Accordingly, this study provides the description of the hitherto unknown female of A. sonorensis, including the morphological features to properly establish its identity. Additionally, important features of the male not reported in the original description, some of which validate the inclusion of the species in the A. signoreti Stål complex, are herein described and illustrated for the first time. Also, new distribution records are provided and the species range is discussed.

Abstract. Smicromorpha Girault (Hymenoptera: Chalcididae) is distributed in the old world tropics and subtropics from Australia through New Guinea, Southeast and South Asia. Since its original description in 1913 conclusive evidence of its host has been lacking although it has been collected in association with weaver ants (Oecophylla spp.; Formicidae: Formicinae) either in proximity to ant nests or, on one occasion, reared from one. In this paper we report the presence of Smicromorpha pupae within the gaster of Oecophylla longinoda workers from a nest collected in coastal Kenya. This discovery extends the distribution of Smicromorpha to the Afrotropical Region and demonstrates conclusively that they are koinobiont parasitoids of weaver ants.

Abstract. Chilophaga tripsaci (Felt) was recently discovered damaging maize, Zea mays L., in western Mexico. The species was previously known only from a collection made in 1909 on Tripsacum dactyloides (L.) L., eastern gamagrass, in Plano, Texas. Chilophaga Gagné and C. tripsaci are redescribed and a lectotype is designated for the species. It is distinguished from its five congeners by female and larval characters that are illustrated and included in a key to species.
