 the pronotum only at the anterior margin, and the pronotum is roundly 

 emarginate behind. One species, Pacific. 



Genus CALLICORIXA White 1873.

 is absent. A stridular area is present. The hind tarsi usually marked 

 conspicuously with black. Three species, all from Alaska. 



Genus CORIXA Geoffrey 1762. 



Pronotum and tegmina are smooth and shining. The male asymmetry
