Abstract
Monopetalonema alcedinis (Rudolphi, 1819) is reported in Megaceryle a. alcyon (Linné) (belted kingfisher) from Ontario. The new material is described and several features of this important species are pointed out, viz. the cephalic papillae are double; the male caudal alae meet on the ventral surface in front of the anus; there is a median papilla immediately in front of the anus as well as two pairs of postanal structures (? phasmids and postdeirids); the cuticle of the body is covered with cuticular bosses; the distal filament of the left spicule is alate. M. alcedinis is compared with the other species assigned to the genus (arthricola, angustispiculum, upembanum, upembanum kilwezi, solilarium) and the egg and first-stage larva are described in detail.
