Abstract

Eleven species of Periclista subg. Neocharactus MacGillivray are recognized in North America. Six species occur in eastern North America: P. (N.) absens, n. sp., P. (N.) asper, n. sp., P. (N.) inaequidens (Norton), P. (N.) major, n. sp., P. (N.) subtruncata Dyar, and P. (N.) varia, n. sp. Five species are found only in California: P. (N.) bakeri (MacGillivray), P. (N.) curva, n. sp., P. (N.) pallipes (Provancher), P. (N.) parva, n. sp., and P. (N.) schiffi, n. sp. Known host plants are various species of oaks, Quercus spp. A key to species is provided, as well as descriptions and illustrations of each species.
