Dryophanta, Foerster, Yerh. z.-b. Ges. Wien, 1869, 335 ; Mayr. 



Genera, 35. 

 Liodora, Foerster, 1. c. 



Cheeks without furrow, half as long as the eyes. Antenna? 14 $ , 

 longish, the third joint not much longer than the fourth. Parapsidal 

 furrows entire; in some species there is a transverse furrow at the 

 base of the scutellum ; keels on the median segment recurvate. Abdo- 

 men longer than the head and thorax ; the second segment sometimes 

 at the apex above produced. Claws bifid. Wings elongate ; the radial 

 cellule open, long, and narrow, the areolet present. Head, thorax, and 

 legs thickly haired; the antenna? and tibia? with long, stiff, erect hair. 

 Ventral spine pilose. Thorax more or less punctured or aciculate. 



The sexual forms have the body only very sparsely 

 haired, the mesonotum without sculpture, and the 

 antennae and legs without stiff hairs. The head is 

 not dilated behind the eyes ; the ventral spine not 

 thickly haired. 



The <$ has the antennas 15-jointed, the third joint 

 emargiuate, the abdomen petiolate. 



The species are blackish, variegated with brownish, 

 the legs reddish-brown, more or less black. The 

 agamic females are mostly easily separated, but the 

 sexual forms are so much alike that it is impossible to 

 distinguish them. 



Besides our species there are three other Palas- 

 arctic species known, namely D. pubesescentis, Mayr 

 (=foli, Schenck, perhaps only a race of /oZw), D. 

 comifex, Htg., and D. flosculi, Gir.
