Division ZAMMARARIA 



Zammararia. Distant, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (7), Vol. i5, p. 38o(igo5).

 he tegmina and wings (with the exception of some species of Odopcca) are hyaline and usually more of 

 less spotted. 



The Zammararia are entirely confined to Tropical and Subtropical America, including Cuba.
