FAM. MEMBRACID^ 



143 



clypeus broadly rounded, extending for half its length below inferior margins of genae aiid continuing 

 the rounded inferior outhne of the face made by tliose margins. Pronotum elevated, flattened laterally, 

 strongly ridged, with a deep broad notch in the center which results in a high anterior and posterior lobe 

 on the dorsum ; metopidium triangular, about as high as wide; median carina strongly percurrent; hume- 

 ral angles broadly rounded; sides of pronotum roughly and irregularly carinate and extended downward 

 to cover at least two-thirds of the tegmina; posterior process tectiform, gradually acute, extending just 

 beyond the tips of the tegmina. Tegmina hyahne, only about one-third exposed, basal and costal areas 

 punctate and coriaceous; five apical and two discoidal cells; apical hmbus broad on anal margin and 

 obsolete on costal and apical margins. Legs simple, subcylindrical ; all tarsi about equal in length. 



Type sinuata Fabricius. 



Geographical distribution : Entylia is primarily a North .American genus. Otily a limited 

 number of species have been described but these species are represented by an ahnost unbelievable num- 

 ber of individuals. The individuals of such species as bactriana and siniia/a often appear on the host 

 plants in such numbers as to completely cover the leaves and stems. Many of the species show a great 

 deal ofvariation incolorsand in the shape of the doisal lobes so that several synonyms must be recorded.

Characteps : Closely related to the preceding genus but with the pronotum rounded and without 

 the two prominent dorsal lobes. Head irregularly triangular, roughly sculptured; base sinuate, highest 

 in middle; eyes ovate, truncate on interior margin; ocelli conspicuous, somewhat elevated, nearer to 

 each other than to the eyes and situated below a line drawn through centers of eyes; inferior margins of 

 genas sinuate; clypeus broadly rounded, extending for about one-third its length below inferior margins 

 of genae and continuing the rounded apical outline of the face made b}' those margins. Pronotum con-
