Seven new species in the genus Bibloplectus Reitter, 1881 are described: Bibloplectus ellisi Owens and Carlton, new species; Bibloplectus levis Owens and Carlton, new species; Bibloplectus parki Owens and Carlton, new species; Bibloplectus quadratum Owens and Carlton, new species; Bibloplectus suteri Owens and Carlton, new species; Bibloplectus steevesi Owens and Carlton, new species; and Bibloplectus tishechkini Owens and Carlton, new species. New species are integrated into the previously published key, supported by illustrations of diagnostic characters, and a revised key and checklist to eastern North American species is presented. All new species described in this study were obtained from, and are deposited in, collections of the Field Museum of Natural History (FMNH). Additionally, label data for 1122 Bibloplectus specimens from the FMNH and from 111 specimens from the Louisiana State Arthropod Museum (LSAM) were combined to provide updated distributional information on existing species and note significant range extensions.
描述了1881年雷特(Reitter)的比布洛普莱克图斯属(Bibloplectus)中的七个新物种:埃利斯比布洛普莱克图斯(Bibloplectus ellisi)欧文斯(Owens)和卡尔顿(Carlton),新物种;莱维斯比布洛普莱克图斯(Bibloplectus levis)欧文斯和卡尔顿,新物种;帕基比布洛普莱克图斯(Bibloplectus parki)欧文斯和卡尔顿,新物种;四方比布洛普莱克图斯(Bibloplectus quadratum)欧文斯和卡尔顿,新物种;苏特里比布洛普莱克图斯(Bibloplectus suteri)欧文斯和卡尔顿,新物种;斯特维斯比布洛普莱克图斯(Bibloplectus steevesi)欧文斯和卡尔顿,新物种;以及蒂谢奇基尼比布洛普莱克图斯(Bibloplectus tishechkini)欧文斯和卡尔顿,新物种。新物种被纳入先前发表的检索表,并配有诊断特征图作为支持,同时还给出了北美东部物种的修订检索表和名录。本研究中描述的所有新物种均采集自自然历史博物馆(FMNH)的藏品,并保存在该馆。此外,还整合了自然历史博物馆1122份比布洛普莱克图斯标本以及路易斯安那州节肢动物博物馆(LSAM)111份标本的标签数据,以提供现有物种的最新分布信息,并记录显著的分布范围扩展情况。
