HETEROPEZINAE 

 This subfamily comprises a few peculiar forms. The metatarsus 

 is usually longer than the following segment and there are at most 

 three long veins. The ocelli are wanting and the second tarsal 

 segment is somewhat shorter than the first. The American repre- 

 sentatives of this group may be separated by the following table. 



Key to genera 



a Wing; membrane finely haired, the long veins simple 



b Tarsi quadriarticulate, the metatarsus longer than the second seg- 

 ment Miastor Mein. 



bb Tarsi biarticulate, the metatarsus shorter than the second segment... 



Oligarces Mein. 

 aa Wing ; membrane thickly scaled 



b Three simple long veins, the tarsi 5 segmented Brachyneura Rond. 



Miastor Mein. 



But one American representative of this genus, M. americana 

 Felt, is known. This species was taken at Highland, N. Y., on 

 either beech or chestnut leaves.
