Abstract

Corynoptera vagula Tuomikoski (northern Europe; Canada: Quebec), Corynoptera fera Mohrig & Heller (central and northern Europe) and Corynoptera nyxa (Mohrig & Menzel) are rediagnosed, and three allied Nearctic species are described: Corynoptera armigera sp. n. (Canada: Yukon), C. fratercula sp. n. (USA: Alaska, Canada: British Columbia), and C. robustior sp. n. (Canada: Ontario). All species are illustrated and a key to the males is provided.
