Synopsis of the subfamilies. 



'. Venation of tegmina complex, usually with numerous supernumerary 

 veins, the apical cells irregular and numerous, and the anteapicals at 

 least 3; pronotum reaching far cephalad of eyes, but normal poste- 

 riorly; sculpturing of vertex, pronotum, and scutellum largely a coarse 

 striation; ocellar sulci closed toward the eyes; clavus apparently 

 with a single median vein, although distally sometimes with super- 

 numerary veinlets; "posterior tibise quadricarinate, with six strong 

 spiniferous spurs on the outer margin, shortly but strongly spined on 

 the upper margin, and feebly bristled on the others" (Kirkaldy). 



Stenocotinse. 

 '. Venation of tegmina simple, without supernumerary veins, the apical 

 cells 4; sculpturing of vertex, pronotum, and scutellum largely a very 

 coarse puncturation ; ocellar sulcus open to eyes. 

 b\ Ocelli nearer to median line than to eyes; pronotum extending ceph- 

 alad of eyes; tegmina with 2 anteapical and 1 basal cell; clavus 

 with 2 longitudinal veins; posterior tibiag sulcate and with few 

 spines and short hairs Megophthalminae.
