Abstract
Tricrania LeConte is revised. One new synonymy is proposed: T. murrayi LeConte 1860 = T. stansburii (Haldeman) 1852, syn. nov. More than 1000 specimens of T. sanguinipennis (Say) and over 1100 specimens of T. stansburii were assessed to provide accurate host data, phenological periods, and distributional limits for each species. Descriptions of adults and 1st instar larvae, diagnostic characters, and identification keys also are provided. A 565-bp fragment of mtDNA from the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase 1 (COI) gene, i.e. the DNA barcode region, is provided as an additional source for identification. A taxonomic history of the genus and inclusive species is given, as well as remarks on the placement of Tricrania in Nemognathinae.
