Plate 4 

 Callimome adult and details 



The large drawing represents a typical specimen of Group A. It will be noted 

 that the stigmal vein is sessile and that the cross furrow is present on the apical 

 one-third of the scutellum. In Group B the stigmal vein is petioled and the 

 cross furrow on the scutellum is generally not readily conspicuous. The small- 

 est joint of the antennae is the ring- joint. The submarginal vein is always longer 

 than the marginal vein. 



For subfamily characters the reader will observe the two tibial spurs on the 

 hind tibia, the relatively smooth lower margin of the femora, and the thirteen 

 joints of the antenna. The comparative sizes of the fore and hind femorae are 

 also shown (fig. 4). 



There are in the main two principal types of sculpture. The most common 

 tj'pe in Group A is made of punctures of various sizes. On the smaller species 

 the punctures are generally very close together, while on species as large as 

 califorrdcum the punctures are very large. The two sketches (figs. 1 and 2) are 

 drawn to scale from areas on the thorax. Most of the species in group B have 

 a more rugose type of sculpture as is indicated in the sketch to the right (fig. 3). 



The side view drawing (fig. 5) of the thorax shows the principal characters 

 mentioned in the keys.
