Fowler records it from Mexico, Guatemala and Panama. It is 

 thus seen to occur throughout tlie eastern United States and down 

 through Central America. 



Hosts. Funkhouser gives the following hosts: Locust, wild grape, 

 bittersweet, hickory, sycamore, butternut, dogwood, daisy, joe-pye 

 weed. Miss Branch adds golden rod and pin oak. Matausch gives 

 Viburnum. Goding records it from butternut, birch, apple, walnut, 

 grape, hop tree, locust, redbud, cherry. Viburnum, Ceanothus and 

 white birch. The writer has taken it chiefly on locust, Ceanothus 

 and walnut. 



Subfamily SMILIINtE (Stal). 



This subfamily includes all but the three preceding members of 

 our fauna. In all of them the pronotum conceals the scutellum and 

 the tibiae are not foliaceous. The seventeen genera occurring in 

 Kansas may be separated by the following key: 



KEY TO GENERA. 



A. Tegmina entirely free, not covered by pronotum. 

 B. Veins of corium closely united at base. 



C. Suprahumeral horns present. Ceresa. 



CC. Suprahumeral horns absent. Stictocephala. 



BB. Veins of corium widely separated at base. 



C. Tegmina with five apical cells; veins distinct. Acutalis. 



CC. Tegmina with four apical cells; veins indistinct. 



Micrutalis. 

 AA. Tegmina partly or entirely covered by pronotum. 



B. Terminal cell of hind wing sessile, its base truncate. 



C. Pronotum without horn or crest. 



D. Dorsum low and rounded. Carynota. 



DD. Dorsum high, compressed, and foliaceous. Archasia. 



CC. Pronotum with horn or crest. 



D. Horn anterior and porrect. Thelia. 



DD. Horn a flat dorsal crest. 



E. Crest arising from between humeral angles. 



Glossonotus. 



EE. Crest arising from behind humeral angles. 



F. Crest strongly step-shaped. Heliria. 



FF. Crest sometimes slightly, but not usually step- 

 shaped. 



G. Basal costal cell of tegmina not entirely 

 punctate. Telamona. 



GG. Basal costal cell of tegmina entirely 

 punctate. Telamoncmthe. 



BB. Terminal cell of hind wing triangular and petiolate. 



C. Base of corium with three veins. 



D. Corium without cross-veins at base. Smilia. 



DD. Corium with cross-veins at base. 



E. Dorsum strongly compressed. Cyrtolobus. 



EE. Dorsum rounded. Ophiderma.
