CC. The base of the fore and hind wings not of the usual orange-red variegated with black.

B. Expanse of fore wings more than 50 mm.
C. Base of fore and hind wings orange-red more or less variegated with black.
DD. The outer edge of the front wing of a more continuous curve. Medium-sized species, except schaefferi, which is large.
EE. Legs, especially the front pair considerably blackened.
FF. Dull bodied species or at most feebly shining, with proportionately narrower wings, and the hind margin of pronotum orange or reddish, except in tristis where it is black. Dorsum of the abdomen often with conspicuous transverse rows of short silvery hairs.
Basal cell of fore wings slightly clouded, pronotum blackish mottled each side with testaceous, the hind margin and sides reddish. Tergum with the posterior edges of the segments reddish, the vestiture more sparse than in canadensis and more in the nature of hairs. Expands about 60 mm.

Pronotum usually entirely black, except the hind margin which is testaceous, sometimes clouded each side with reddish; tergum black with much tomentum, which when removed leaves a smooth surface. A black species with the usual four orange spots before the mesonotal X, and orange membranes at the base of both pairs of wings. Expands about 62 mm.

Pronotum usually plainly edged with orange on sides as well as on hind margin.

[female] Head black; margins of front, ocelli, and a small central basal spot, dull reddish; eyes ochraceous. Pronotum dull reddish, the margins and two central longitudinal lines black. Mesonotum black; two central ” antler “- shaped fasciae, the lateral margins, and the basal cruciform elevation, dull reddish, the anterior angles of the last black. Abdomen above black. Body beneath black, somewhat greyishly pilose; face red, its central longitudinal sulcation black; rostrum black; legs reddish, the femora streaked with black beneath.
Tegmina and wings pale hyaline, their bases dull reddish, the venation blackish; the costal membrane of tegmina ochraceous.
The face is large, but laterally compressed and strongly striated, with a profound central longitudinal sulcation. The rostrum about reaches the intermediate coxae; the legs are robust, and the anterior femora have a strong spine beneath at apex and a similar spine near base.
