KEY.
I. Wings black, with a pale border . . Sp. 23, Dissosieha carolina. 11. Wings not black.
2. Disk of wings nearly or quite transpiuent, nut distinctly bounded by a blackish border (cf. Fig. zla).
3. Intercalary vein of tegmen nearer ulnar than radial vein for its entire length ; discoidal area as wide as widest part of ulnar area (Fig. 19). Wings faintly clouded with dusky at tip and usually transparent yellowish at base. . Sp. 19, ILncflptoZophns sordidus. 3'. Intercalary vein of tegmen approximated distally to radial vein. (Figs. 18a, zoa.)
4. Discoidal area of tegmen much narrower than distal end of ulnar area (Fig. 1%). Ulnar area of wing broadened distally at expense of discoidal area, being three times as wide (Fig. 18). Wings faintly clouded
with dusky opposite middle of hind margin. Sp. 18, Chortophaga viridifasciata.
41. Discoidnl area of tcgrnen about equal in width to distal end of ulnar area (Fig. zoa).
Wing with distal part of ulnar area not broadened, about equal to discoidal area in width (Fig. 20). Wings will1 dusky
venules and transparent except for faint dusky clouding at extreme tip and sometimes a slight opacity at extreme base. Sp. 20, Camnula pellucida.
21. Disk of wings opaque, colored (white, yellow, orange, red), distinctly bounded by a blackish border (Figs. 21a, 30). 5 (51, s2). Carina of pronotum entire, unnotched in side view (Figs. 16,
17).
Scutellum of vertex with a distinct, usually deep, transverse curved impression (Fig. 16a). Antennae about equal to head plus pronotum. Disk of wings bright yellow.




================================================================================

6. Hind process of pronoturn acute-angled in dorsal view, its sides con- cave.
Carina of pronotum in side view crestlike, high, arched, corn- pressed (Fig. 16).
Dusky band of wing with sub-frontal shoot extending usually one-fourth to one-third the distance across disk to base of wing. Sp. 16, AQhid xanfho'ptera.
61. Hind process of pronoturn about right-angled, 8, or a little obtuse, Q ; carina rather low (Fig. 17).
Dusky band of wing with sub-frontal shoot usually extending two-thirds of the distance to base of wing. Sp. 17, Arphia sulphnrea.
t1(s2). Carina of pronotum wit11 one notch or incisioq in side view. Scu- telluni of vertex without deep transverse arcuate impression. 7. Width of dusky wingband taken on subfrontal shoot two or three times its width elsewhere (Fig. 21~1).
Antennae short, equal to head plus
pronoturn or but little longer (if longer tlie prozona and metazona of equal length). Robust species.
8. Prozona distinctly shorter than metazona. Vertex prominent (Fig. 21). Hind process of pronotmn acute or right-angled. Wings usually red.
Antennae short, equal to head plus proiiotuin. Sp. 2 1, Hi/fiscu.s tziberculat'as.
81. Prozona and metazona of equal length; the lateral carinae not cut by principal sulcus (Fig. 22).
Vertex convex, the scutelluin but
little impressed, divided by a median and two oblique carinulae. Hind process of pronottiin obtuse-angled. Wings usually yellow- ish, sometin~es orange or red. . Sp. 22, Hip-phctts ruffo.~us. 7'. Width of dusky wingbancl on subfrontal shoot rarely over once and a half its width elsewhere.
Antennae long, once and a half or twice
as long as head plus pronoturn.
Slenderer species, the body often
compressed.
9 (91, 92). Hind tibiae not dusky-ringed. Hind part of disk of prozona
ann:i.
elevated, rising broadly on tlie c
.'
10. Carina high, arched ; Hie cleft oblique, the lobes sometimes over- lapping (Fig. 243).
Hind process acute, its sides conc;ive (Fig. 24.)
Hind tibiae red, sometimes paler at base. Sp. 24, Spharagcmon collare scudderi.
10'. Cai-ina rather low, usually sinuate on prozona; cleft nearly or quite vertical (Fig. 25a). Hind process about right-angled, its sides straight (Fig. 25). Hind tibiae distinctly pale-ringed next base. Sp. 25, Spkarafremon saxatiie. 91 (9'). Hind tibiae ringed with dusky and coral-red, and pale next base.




================================================================================

I I Oirina rather high, reachina; level of top of head. Eyes not prom- inent. Vertex projecting the width of an eye. Body distinctly co~npresseil. (,Figs. 26-260). Sp. 26, Spharagemon bol7i. I I*. Carina low. Pronotinii constricted on prozona and depressed below top of head. Eyes prominent. Vertex short, less pro- jccling. Body little compressed (Figs. 27-271:)). Sp. 27, Scirieiica mamorata.
9" Hind tibiae ringed with dusky and yellowish white. P~OZOII~ much constricted. Tegmen with many of the distal cellules in the hinder .part of the distal half two to four times as long as wide. Sp. 28, Psinidia fenestmlis.
52. Carina of pronotuin with two distinct notches, the anterior often less marked than the posterior.
12. Transverse dusky band of wings broad throughout (at least as broad as the width of a tegmen), continuous. Anterior notch of prono- turn often shallow.
13. Tegmen with most of the cellules in the hinder part of the distal half hut little longer than wide (Fig. 27b). Hind tibiae pale (ashy or rose) at base, ringed beyond with dusky and coral- red. . Sp. 27, Scirtetka marmwcifa.
13'. Tegmen narrow, many of the cellules in hinder part of distal half two to four times as long as wide (Fig. 28). Hind tibiae ringed wit11 dusky and yellowish white.
Sp. 28, Psinidia fenestraHs.
1 2 Transverse dusky wingband narrow, usually discontinuous behind, subfrontal shoot (Fig. 30).
Carina of pronotum very low, the
notches almost equally distinct.
14. Hind tibiae entirely pale.
R;idi;il veins of wing not enlarged
(cf. Fig. 30).
General color pale brown or butT and white. ~ -
Sides of 111-onotum usually distinctly angnlate at meeting of lower and hind margins (Fig. 29).
Sp. 29, Trimerotropis maritha.
