TRYXALIN^. 



In the TryxalincE the vertex of the head is nearly horizontal, 

 the face quite oblique, generally forming an acute angle at the 

 union with the vertex. Lateral foveolae are usually well de- 

 veloped, though sometimes absent. The eyes are usually longer 

 than that portion of the cheek below their orbits. The antennae 

 are variable, being acuminate, depressed, or rarely clavate, and 

 situated between or below the middle of the eyes. The pronotum 

 has the front and rear margins of the disk nearly equal in width ; 

 all the carinae are usually distinct, the median carina cut by one 

 sulcus and not raised in the form of a crest. The tegmina and 

 wings are often short and rudimentary, but sometimes fully 

 developed in members of the same species. The inner wing is 

 usually transparent, without bright colors or a black band.
