11. genus SCALMORPHUS Fowler 



Scalmopphus Fowler, B. C. A. II : 22 (1894). 



Characters : p-owler separated this genus from Philya on the basis of the diamond-shaped 

 appearance of the pronotum as viewed from above, and the strongly reticulate tegmina. These char- 

 acters seem to be sufficient for the recognition of the genus. The single porrect pronotal horn is 

 gradually acuminate, and the posterior process is likewise narrowed from its base to a very sharp point. 

 The head and the first two pairs of tibiae are broadly foliaceous. The tegmina are hvaline and the 

 cells are inclined to much irregularity. 



Type reticulatus Fowler. 



Geogpaphical distrlbution : Only two species have been described for the genus and both 

 of these apparently rare. One is the type species and the other was described by Ball from Chiricahua 

 Mountains.

12. GENUS MULTAREIS GODING 



Multapeis Goding, Can. Ent. XXVII : 274 (iSgS). 



Chapacteps : Distinguished by the very reticulate tegmina in which the multicellular condition 

 is not limited to the apical area but extends throughout the tegmen. The tegmina are broad, rounded, 

 and translucent or opaque. If horns are present, they consist of a pair of siiort, blunt suprahumerals, 

 but the presence or absence of horns is not constant within a species in either sex. The head and 

 prothorax are roughly sculptured and the tibiae are only moderately flattened. The insects are very 

 small in size and all of the described species are brownish in color. 



Type cornutus Goding.
