Comments
All North American species of Dexiogyia were described by Casey (1894[2], 1911) (as Thiasophila and Ischnoglossa) and differentiated based on slight differences in body proportions, punctation, pubescence and color. An examination of the relevant types revealed no differences between them in their aedeagi or spermathecae and slight differences in external morphology, which were attributed to intraspecific variation. Therefore, Dexiogyia angustiventris was selected as the valid name for this species based on its appearance before Dexiogyia asperata (Casey) in Casey (1894)[2], and Dexiogyia asperata (Casey) syn. n., Dexiogyia abscissa (Casey) syn. n., Dexiogyia tenuicauda (Casey) syn. n., Dexiogyia intenta (Casey) syn. n.and Dexiogyia alticola (Casey) syn. n.are here placed in synonymy with Dexiogyia angustiventris (Casey). To provide nomenclatural stability we have selected and designated lectotypes for Thiasophila angustiventris Casey, Thiasophila asperata Casey and Ischnoglossa intenta Casey. Additionally, one non-type specimen (Iowa, male) of Dexiogyia angustiventris and five non-type specimens in Casey’s collection (NMNH) of Dexiogyia alticola (California, Siskiou Co., 3 females, 1 male, 1 sex?) were examined.
Seevers (1978)[1] noted that the European species Dexiogyia corticina (Erichson) was probably distinct from Dexiogyia angustiventris based on the longer and shaper teeth on male tergite 8 in the latter species. After examination of dissected specimens of Dexiogyia corticina from Leipzig, Saxonia, Germany (ZMB), we consider both as valid but extremely similar species. Dexiogyia corticina may be distinguished from the Nearctic Dexiogyia angustiventris based on the tubus of the median lobe with a ventral swelling in lateral view (straight in Dexiogyia angustiventris (Fig. 84) and the shorter, obtuse teeth of male tergite 8 (Fig. 85).
Dexiogyia has been associated with subcortical microhabitats, especially those of pine and in the ‘burrows of wood-boring beetles’ (Seevers 1978[1]). This is the first record of the genus from Canada and due to its association with pine (Seevers 1978[1]), we suspect this species to be transcontinental in Canada.
