New and Little Known Fulgorids from the West Indies 
(Homoptera).

(Presented at the meeting of November 1, 1923.) 
From time to time Mr. G. N. Wolcott has forwarded to 
the writer fulgorids from Porto Rico and other West Indian 
Islands; some of these he named at the time of their reception, 
others he placed on one side for future study. Among the latter 
the following appear to be undescribed, or needing some com- 
ment. A study of the male genitalia of the species reported as 
common to various West Indian Islands and the mainland is 
very desirable, and is likely to show a higher endemism than has 
hitherto been evident. 
CIXIIDAE. 
Cubana tortriciformis sp. nov. 
Female. Length, 5 mm.; tegmen, 8 mm. 
The base of the vertex not quite so angularly emarginate as in the 
type. Brown, the carinae of head and thorax lighter brown or yellow, legs 
light brown, abdomen light brown, slightly infuscate. Tegmen light brown 
or stramineous, with lighter and darker markings; the darker brown mark- 
ings are, one from base of costa over first claval vein, a large, irregular 
V-shape mark with its apex near Mf, and one arm touching the mark over 
the first claval vein and the other reaching the middle of costa; a small 
mark aeross costal cell slightly more distad, a fainter one at base of 
stigma and continued in a curye to apex of clavus, another subparallel to 
last starting distad of stigma, where it is broadest, a broader dark mark 
over apical Se and R reaching to M, a thin line slightly apical to that; 
at apex between M3 and 4 a black round mark. The veins dark in dark 
area and lighter in light area; the middle of the subapical cells semi- 
hyaline, wings slightly fuscous and opaque, veins brown. 
One female from Mameyes P. R., 3000 feet elevation, Acc. 
No. 29-1924 (G. N. Wolcott). 
This is the third species to be placed in this genus, the other 
two being from Cuba. The genus is near to Cotylepceps, but 
can be recognized from it by the longitudinal median carina on 
vertex. 
Type in the National Museum, Washington. 
Proc. Haw. Ent. Soc., V, No. 3, December, 1924.
