202 EUCOELA ERYTHROCERA. 



Comes nearest to glottiana, but stouter, has the 

 antennae stouter and shorter, and quite black ; the 

 scutellar foveae are longer, and separated by a stout 

 carina ; the cup is somewhat more raised ; the apex of 

 the scutellum looked at laterally projects more and 

 is rounded, while in glottiana it is truncated; the 

 wings are clear hyaline. 



Rare. Benfleefc (T. R. Billups). 



2. Antennse with a distinct eight- to nine-jointed abrupt 



dub. 



Antennae in ? with an 8 to 9-jointed club shorter than the body, 

 15-jointed in <$, and not very much longer than the body. Scutellum 

 rugose, cup large, shallow, its apex not projecting much. Metanotum 

 fulvous or but slightly pilose. Cubitus usually present, at least at the 

 base. Second abdominal segment with a large hair-fringe=7wcoeZa,
