Synoptic Table to the Genera of the Tribe PAEAGIINI 



Eyes emarginate; parapsidal furrows absent Metaparagia Meade Waldo. 



Eyes not emarginate; parapsidal furrows distinct Paragia Shuckard. 



Synoptic Table of the Genera of the Tribe MASAEIDINI 



A. Maxillary palpus consisting of 6 segments, the labial of 4 



Ceramiopsis Zavattari. 



AA. Maxillary palpus consisting of 4 segments, the ligula beneath with many 

 transverse scale-like appendages. 

 B. Middle tibia with 2 apical spurs, shorter than the first 4 segments of the 

 tar.sus united, the fourth segment longer than broad; antenna of the 

 male like that of the female, gradually incrassate toward the apex, 

 the penultimate segment much broader than long, the ultimate segment 

 short, conical, not hooked; mandible of the male slender, acute, with 

 two serrations on the inner margin somewhat removed from the apex 

 and a strong basal tooth; clypeus of the male broader than long; 

 second ventral segment of the male unarmed; squama slender and 

 acute; 7 the uncus reduced to a small basal piece,''' not readily observ- 

 able; the sagitta and the volsella much enlarged and fused with those 



of the opposite side'' „ Ceramius Latreille. 



BB. Middle tibia with only 1 apical spur,8 longer than the first 4 tarsal 

 segments together,8 the fourth segment broader than long; antenna 

 of the male unlike that of the female, the penultimate segment on its 

 outer margin much longer than broad, the ultimate segment long, digiti- 

 form, forming a hook; mandible of the male obliquely truncate with 

 3 strong apical teeth but no basal tooth; clypeus of the male longer 

 than broad; second ventral segment of the male unarmed; squama 

 clavate;8 uncus elongate ;§ sagitta and volsella small and not united 



with those of the opposite sides Paraceramius Saussure. 



BBB, Twelfth segment of the antenna of the male forming a large hook; 

 clypeus of the male longer than broad; mandible of the male obliquely 

 truncate and terminating in 3 or 4 short teeth; abdominal segments 

 constricted at base, the second ventral segment of the male bearing a 



tubercle Ceramioideso Saussure. 



AAA. Maxillary palpi consisting of 2 or 3 segments. 



B. Scape elongate, cylindrical or curved, more than twice as long as the 



pedicel. 



C. Antenna of the female composed of 7 distinct segments, short; that 



of the male composed of 12 distinct segments, strongly incrassate but 



not forming a globular club, convex beneath Jugurtia Saussure. 



7 These characters are drawn from an examination of the male of the type 

 species, fonscolombei, only. 



8 These characters are drawn from an examination of the male of only one 

 species, lusitanicus, the genotype. 



9 I have not seen the genotype of Ceramioides, so state the characters indi- 

 cated by Saussure.
