No. 34-] HEMIPTERA OF CONNECTICUT I CICADELLIDAE. 85 



Subfamily Jassinae. 



Jassides. 



The great number of leaf hoppers with the ocelli located on the 

 margin of the vertex where such is definite or on that portion of 

 the head between the vertex and front when there is no perceptible 

 limit to either, are included in this family. 



Key to Tribes. 



1. Elytral nervures branching on the disc, ocelli on or near margin 



of vertex. ( Fig. 8,6.) 2 



Elytral nervures not branching en the disc, branched at base, 

 ocelli often wanting. (Fig. 8, 5.) Typhlocybini, p. 147 



2. Ocelli on vertex near margin, or between vertex and front, and 



remote from the eyes. (Fig. 8, 3.) Acucephalini, p. 85 



Ocelli on margin between vertex and front, usually very close to 

 eyes. (Fig. 8, 2.) Jassini, p. 89 



Tribe ACUCEPHALINI. 



Vertex and face distinctly separated, generally by a well-defined 

 margin, the ocelli on or adjoining margin, or margin being absent, 

 on rounded portion between front and vertex. Appendix very 

 narrow or wanting.
