Abstract:

The genus Rolandylis Gibeaux is considered a valid genus (revised status) with three species based on the following autapomorphies: 1) maxillary palpus absent, 2) valve broad at base with an erect proximal costal process with spiculations, and 3) base of aedoeagus with winglike lateral projections. Two new species of Rolandylis from the eastern United States are described, R. fusco and R. virilia. The type species of Rolandylis, R. catalonica Gibeaux, is a new synonym of R. maiana (Kearfott). The head and wing venation are illustrated, as well as the habitus and genitalia of all species. The genus is known from the United States (Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, and Maine), Canada (Nova Scotia), and France. The phylogenetic relationships of Rolandylis within Nearctic Cochylini are discussed.
