Antennal Appendage 

 (fig. 2). A projecting pro- 

 cess on the first or third 

 segments of the antennfe 

 of the males of certain gen- 

 era. This appendage may 

 be simply a slight projec- 

 tion of one side of the 

 distal extremity of the seg- 

 ment, or may be long and 

 curving, and may arise 

 from the middle of the 

 segment. 



Antennal BANDS(rm<.&., 

 fig. 1). Pale to dark-col- 

 ored chitinous bands ex- 

 tending along the lateral 

 margins of the forehead, 

 interrupted and divided 

 into two parts when the 

 clypeal suture is distinct, 

 sometimes divided into 

 three parts {Nirmi nigro- 

 picti).

Antennary Furrows (ant./., fig. 3). The 

 furrows on ventral aspect of head of mem- 

 bers of the Liotheidfe in which the antennae 

 lie, concealed from dorsal view. 



Clypeal Hairs {clyp. h., fig. 1). Usually 

 short, .fine hairs on the margins, frontal and 

 lateral, of the clypeus. 



Clypeus {clyp., fig. 1). That part of the 

 head in front of the clypeal suture; prominent 

 throughout the group. 

 Clypeal Suture, or, in descriptions of the head, the suture {clyp. sut., 

 fig. 1). The distinct or indistinct suture separating the clypeus from the 

 rest of the head; when distinct, appearing as a narrow uncolored line; 

 when indistinct, usually recognizable on the lateral margins of the head 

 by a small emargination. 



Forehead That part of the head in front of the mandibles and an- 

 tennae
