alutaceous sculpture ; pronotal collar without a median longitudinal groove 



erythromera Forster (p. 54) 



14 (12) Females with antennal flagellum in dorsal view very slender, with the first 



funicular segment about twice as long as broad, the distal segments sub- 

 quadrate to slightly longer than broad ; transverse line of scutellum usually 

 complete. Males. Length 2-1 to 2-7 mm. ; funicular segments two to 

 seven longer than broad [Europe] . . subpunctata Forster (p. 55) 



- Females with antennal flagellum relatively less slender, with the first funicular 



segment relatively shorter, the distal segments at least slightly transverse ; 

 transverse line of scutellum usually absent or broadly interrupted in the 

 middle, rarely complete (if so, very faint). Males. Length 1-3 to 2 mm. ; 

 funicular segments two to seven subquadrate or, if longer than broad, then 

 North American species ......... 15 



15 (14) Females with antennae longer, first funicular segment longer than broad, the 



following segments subquadrate, distal segments slightly transverse. 

 Males with funicular segments two to seven longer than broad. Length 

 2 mm. or slightly more. Scutellum usually weakly convex. Tarsi often 

 pale proximally. [North America] . . haematobiae Ashmead (p. 55) 



- Females with antennae shorter, first funicular segment subquadrate, the 



following segments transverse, distal segments 1-5 to 2 times as broad as 

 long. Males with funicular segments two to seven subquadrate. Length 

 1-3 to 2 mm. Scutellum flat. Tarsi black. [Europe] fuscipes Nees (p. 56)
