. Bionomics, systematics, and phylogeny of Lytta, a genus of blister beetles (Coleoptera, Meloidae). Lytta. SYSTEMATICS AND PHYLOGENY 125 Male. Antennae (Fig. 87) with segments IV-VII strongly incrassate; VII narrower than VI but obviously longer and wider than VIII; VIII a little larger than IX or X. Fore tarsi short, about five-sixths as long as fore tibiae. Fore and middle tarsal pads only moderately developed, no larger or denser than in female. Emargination of sixth abdominal sternum (Fig. 245) deeply semicircular, densely lined with short setae; lateral lobes of sternum strongly produced

Emargination of sixth abdominal sternum (Fig. 245) deeply semicircular, densely lined with short setae; lateral lobes of sternum strongly produced, slender, acute. Pygidium (Fig. 214) very acute at apex. Genitalia as in Figure 320. Female. Antennae as in Figure 133. Fore tarsi about four-fifths as long as fore tibiae. Pygidium less acute at apex, much as in male of funerea (see Fig. 215). Type locality. Temecula, Warners Ranch, or Poway, California. Geographic distribution. Extreme southern California, in and near the Coastal Range. (See Fig. 32.). Fig. 32. Distribution of Lijtta funerea (circles) and Lijtta morosa (squares.
