1. Head square across the front, with eyes very close to anterior (Fig. 11); first antennal segment much longer than width of head; forewings transparent (1 sp. in New Zealand) ................. Felisacus elegantulus

- Head not square across the front, but pointed, with eyes either at level of middle of head or closer to posterior (Fig. 1, 6, 8); first antennal segment shorter than width of head; forewings opaque.........................2

2. Eyes smaller (Fig. 1, 6), removed from pronotum by a distance noticeably greater than width of first antennal segment; pygophore without projections; first antennal segment usually completely black (Introduced; 1 sp. in New Zealand) ................................................................................. Macrolophus pygmaeus

- Eyes larger (Fig. 8), removed from pronotum by a distance approximately equal to (sometimes appearing a little less than) width of first antennal segment; pygophore with two very long hooked projections; first antennal segment pale in about apical third to half (Introduced; 1 sp. in New Zealand) .............................. ......................................................................................................................................
