 Key to Genera. 



1. Antennae short; first segment shortest of all, not reaching apex 



of head and not clavate at apex. Head strongly deflexed from 

 base. Scutellum sub-equilateral. Apical margin of corium 

 toward apex of clavus more or less sinuate and outer apical angle 

 obviously rounded. First tarsal segment of hind legs short, about 

 as long as second and third together Phlegyas 



2. Antennae longer; first segment longest of all, far surpassing apex 



of head and clavate or swollen at apex. Head not strongly 

 deflexed. Scutellum commonly longer than wide. Apical margin 

 of corium straight, with outer apical angle sub-acute. First 

 tarsal segment of hind legs longer than second and third together

P. abbreviatus (Uhler). (PI. xvi, 24.) 



Bull. U. S. Geol. Geog. Surv. Terr., i, 313, 1876. 



A very common species occurring in both the brachypterous and

 reaching beyond the fourth abdominal segment, is the most com-
