The genusDegeeria is known by the ovate body,and basal half of the spring equal-ling the fork inlength. A species(Fig. 619) closely ft resembling the European D. nivalis Nicolet,we have found in summer resting on theleaves of the Clematis. The Lepidocyrtus al-binos Nic. (Fig. 620) is a minute pearly whitespecies found in Europe; its scales () are thin and with distinct markings. Smynthurus is short, differing greatly inform from Podura, and bears a striking resemblance to thelarva of Coniopteryx. The body is short, nearly spherical, and40.
