or separately rounded slightly in front; anterior ocellus at base of 

 genal lobes, apparently remote from front margin of vertex. Eyes 

 large, strongly recessive and covering propleurites. AntennsB short, 

 thick. Pronotum extending far down laterad to a point lower than 

 base of forewings; propleurites short. Wings rhomboidal, coria- 

 ceous, not transparent, apex near anterior margin; second marginal 

 cell often elongate. 



Type of genus. — Ewphyllura 'phillyrse. Forster, a European species. 



SYNOPSIS OF SPECIES. 



a}. Vertex very deeply emarginate over insertion of antennae, with a prominent, 

 rounded projection between emargination and front margin of eye; wings strongly 

 rhomboidal. 

 W. Wings brown, thick, transversely wrinkled; costa somewhat sinuate. 



arctostaphyli Schwarz. 

 6^. Wings white, rather powdery, sculpture concealed; costa not sinuate. 



arctostaphyli neveipennis Schwarz. 

 a^. Vertex not emarginate over antennal insertion, or if so, not deeply; prominent 

 projection wanting; wings rhomboidal, but not strongly so. 

 6^ Forewing bicolored, brown basally and light apically; forceps of male very 

 slender, emarginate near apex on front margin, without tooth on hind mar- 

 gin; genal lobes moderately long arbuti Schwarz. 



b^. Forewings uniformly brown; forceps of male rather stout, not emarginate at 

 apex, with a distinct tooth on posterior inner margin about one-third the 

 length from apex; genal lobes short arbuticola, new species.

Euphyllura arctostaphyli Schwarz '04:235. 



Length of body 2.2 mm; length of forewing 3; width of head 1.18. 

 General color reddish brown, varying from light to very dark, more 

 or less conspicuously spotted; head and thorax reddish brown or 

 brownish yellow; abdomen blood red; legs yellowish; forewings dark 

 brown with a reddish tinge, more or less maculated with whitish, 

 often with a prominent white fascia at basal third and sometimes a 

 whitish area or fascia subapically. 



Head as broad as thorax, strongly deflexed, rugose-punctate; 

 vertex broader than long, emarginate over insertion of antennse, 

 nearly straight on posterior margin; genal lobes a little less than 

 half as long as vertex, rectangular in shape, scarcely separated from 

 vertex. Antennse short. Eyes large; ocelli small. 



Thorax very broad and strongly arched, less rugose than vertex 

 but very coarsely punctate. Pronotum half as long as prsescutum, 

 ascending, covered laterad by receding eyes; scutum strongly convex. 

 Wings thick, coriaceous, transversely rugose and rugulose, opaque, 

 more or less maculated and not wholly constant in color, more rhom- 

 boidal than in arbuti, sides parallel to apical third, about twice as
