(Id. Prothorax anteriorly armed with a porrect process pointing slightly 

 upwards, or ending in a prominent angle ; behind process con- 

 vex ; unarmed above lateral angles; tegmina surpassing apex 



of posterior process; body sericeous Aconopliora Fairm. 



cc. The two discoidal cells of corium difl'eriug in size, the interior much 

 larger and longer than exterior; prothorax unarmed anteriorly 

 above head, and above lateral angles on each side not produced ; 

 back of prothorax convex, posterior process compiessed or 

 tectiforra towards apex ; margin of back destitute of a sulcus. 



h. Prothorax highest at middle, posterior process compressed, superior 

 margin very acute; head broad, transverse, apex broadly 

 rounded ; ocelli equally distant from each other and the eyes. 



Euinela Stal. 



hh. Prothorax highest forward, dorsum almost wholly convex, posterior 

 process tectiform towards apex ; head angular at apex, front 

 somewhat prominently deorsum ; ocelli nearer to each other 

 than to the eyes Daruoirtes Fairm. 



Tribe Heniconotini Godg. 



AA- Tegmina double the length of wings; head broad, eyes prominent; poste- 

 rior prothoracic process long, nodose and spined, more than 

 half of apical part a little recurved. 



a. Anterior tibise dilated ; prothorax densely and strongly punctured, posterior 

 process rugose-reticulate towards apex....Heteronotus Lap. 



na. Anterior tibiae simple; prothorax smooth or obsoletely and remotely punc- 

 tured Heiiieoiiotus Stal. 



Subfamily Smiliin^ Stal. 



Tribe Cerasini Godg. 



A. Tegmina free, clavus uncovered, the interior margin of this touching the 

 exterior margin of the posterior prothoracic process, this latter 

 visibly narrowed behind the lateral angles. 

 a. Passing out of base of corium two longitudinal veins, radial and ulnar, 

 contiguous at or near base, forked a little before middle of 

 tegmina; three discoidal cells, rarely four, the middle one elon- 

 gated, the others almost equal to it in length, the fourth, when 

 present, placed before these; interior and external basal cells 

 long, extending beyond middle of tegmina, not or slightly en- 

 larged towards apex ; five terminal cells middle one apical. 

 6. Posterior prothoracic process 3-forked ; apical cell of wings stylated. 

 c. Posterior prothoracic process armed anteriorly with two erect spines, 

 behind which it is narrowed into short recurved styles, apex 



forked Cyphoiiia Lap. 



cc. Posterior prothoracic process sensibly narrowed backward, strongly 

 swollen in front, not bispined, not reflexed behind the tumidity, 



fi-oni the middle 3-forked ; otherwise as in c Poppea Stal. 



bb. Posterior prothoracic process not 3-forked. 



d. Prothorax much elevated in front, horned above lateral angles, pos- 

 terior process very acute throughout Ceresa A. et S.
