The following key includes characters of Diogmites discolor Loew based on information in Malloch (1917) and Bromley (1946). Malloch (1915) described the pupal cases of Illinois specimens identified as Diogmites winthemi (Wiedemann) . That Neotropical species does not occur in the United States. Malloch's (1915) description corresponds with our description of D. misellus Loew.
