Type. — Euparagia scutellaris Cresson ; genus monobasic. 

 Habitat. — Southwestern North America. 



(^. Head wider than the thorax ; eyes large, nearly 3 times farther 

 apart than are the posterior ocelli, emarginate ; an inconspicuous 

 tubercle between the antennae ; clypeus longer than broad, its anterior 

 margin medially produced and bidentate ; temples margined poste- 

 riorly by a fine carina, reaching to the mandibles ; occiput bordered 

 above by a second fine carina, caudad of the one bordering the temples ; 

 mandibles ending in two nearly equal teeth ; ligiila broad, not retrac- 

 tile, flat, its apex deeply acutely notched, but little longer than the 

 paraglossae ; labial palpus long, about as long as the stipes, 4-seg- 

 mented ; maxillary palpus longer than the stipes, 6-segmented. An- 

 tenna consisting of 13 segments, the scape about twice as long as the 

 pedicel, equal to segment 3, segments 3 to 6 longer than broad, seventh 

 about equal in length and breadth, 8 to 13 broader than long, together 

 slightly fusiform. 



Humeri weakly prominent ; parapsidal furrows wanting ; tegula 

 semicircular, scalelike, not covering the base of the scutellum, its outer 

 margin entire ; angles of propodeum marked only by a ridge. 



In the forewing m-cu attached to the junction of Cuj and M^. 

 Tarsal claws simple ; apex of the front trochanter with a long inferior 

 claw ; anterior femur somewhat contorted, with a prominent inferior 

 tooth at base ; the tibia normal, about as long as the tarsus, with an 

 illy formed strigil ; the metatarsus a little shorter than the following 

 4 segments together, the fourth segment as long as broad ; middle 

 femur unarmed, the apical half of the under surface flat ; the tibia 

 unarmed, a little compressed, sometimes bearing a single apical spur, 

 in other cases with two, a trifle shorter than the tarsus; metatarsus 

 two-thirds as long as the remaining segments together, the fourth 

 segment as long as broad ; posterior tibial spur acute, the apical half 

 of the inner margin oblique and armed with 3 large basal and 2 minute 

 apical teeth ; the tibia about four-fifths as long as the tarsus ; the meta- 

 tarsus a little shorter than the following segments together.
