No. 34.] HEMIPTERA OF CONNECTICUT: FULGORIDAE. 47 



Key to Species. 



Brownish-testaceous with a fuscous vitta behind each eye which is 



continued along the axis of the elytron axialis 



Pale flavo-testaceous with a dorsal white line which is reproduced on 



the front crocea 



K. axialis Van Duzee. 



Bull. Buff. Soc. Nat. Sci., v, 232, 1897. 



Like all its relatives this is found in swampy meadows. The 

 wingless form is common with the elytra shorter and more lanceo- 

 late. It is less abundant than Stenocranus dorsalis but like that is 

 distributed throughout the eastern United States and Canada.

 K. crocea Van Duzee. 



Bull. Buff. Soc. Nat. Sci., v, 233, 1897. 



This pale yellowish species is most at home in the Mississippi 

 Valley but it has been taken at Faneuil, Mass. In certain 

 characters it recalls Stenocranus.

Megamelanus Ball. 



Small slender insects with a long pointed head. They are found 

 on Sparta and related grasses. Length 3-4 mm. 

 M. spartini Osborn. 



Ohio Nat, v, 375, 1905. 



The females are pale yellowish while the males are darker with 

 the apex of the elytra smoky. They are common about New York 

 City and must occur in southern Connecticut. 



Prokelisia Osborn. 



I am separating this genus from Megamelus by its more slender 

 form and more ovate front with the sides more strongly arcuated. 

 Some individuals in this genus, as in Kelisia and Megamelanus, 

 have the elytra shorter and more lanceolate with the wings aborted. 



Key to Species. 



Testaceous marked with black on the abdomen, the frontal carinae 



lined with black ; length 3-3.5 mm marginata 



Flavo-testaceous, nearly unicolorous or with the head a little smoky; 



length 2.5-3 mm setigera 



P. marginata (Van Duzee). 



Bull. Buff. Soc. Nat. Sci., v, 234, 1897. 



Common throughout the United States and Canada.
