 Taphuraria, iJist. A. M. N. H. (7) xvi, p. 25 (1905). 



Eyes projecting beyond the anterior angles of the pronotum ; 

 pronotum subquadrate, not distinctly narrowed anteriorly as it is, 

 with few exceptions, in the Tihicinaria ; abdomen about as long as 

 space between apex of head and base of cruciform elevation t ; a 

 more or less distinct posterior metasternal process visible in males 

 between or at the base of the opercula. 



This division includes a large number of genera very widely 

 distributed ; perhaps, but not certainly, absent from the Nearctic 

 Eegion. 



Synojms of Genera. 



A. Wings with six apical areas. 



a. Tegiuiiia witli trausver&e vein at base of 

 second apical area nearly vertical. 



(I. Front of head a little shorter than ver- 

 tex, their margins continuous ; the 

 front not produced, and about, or 

 nearly, twice broader than long .... Abroma, p. 105. 



a'. Front of liead about as long or a little 

 shorter than vertex, their margins dis- 

 continuous and almost at right angles 

 to each other ; the front prominent, 

 not nearly twice as broad as long. . . . Lemuiu.\xa, p. 160.
