LANTERNFLIES OF LESSER ANTILLES — FENNAH 27 



Yellowish testaceous; disc of mesonotum, abdominal tergites, and 

 genitalia testaceous to fuscous-piceous. Tegmina yellowish brown 

 between Sc and costal margin, and along commissural margin of 

 clavus, remainder of corium dark fuscous, almost piceous, membrane 

 wholly brown. Wings more or less suffused with brown. 



Anal segment of male with anal foramen situated about one-third 

 from base, in lateral view roundly decurved, then directed approxi- 

 mately caudad, lower lateral margins angulately produced ventrad, 

 apical margin deeply convex. Aedoagus tubular, slightly curved up- 

 ward distally, a pah of slender spinose processes arising laterally near 

 apex, directed cephalad above aedeagus; a second pair of spinose 

 processes arising ventrolaterally near apex, elongate, directed cephalad 

 and lying close against ventral surface of aedeagus almost to its base. 

 Genital styles subovate, process on dorsal margin almost vertical, 

 tapering dorsad and abruptly bent laterad at right angles at apex 

 and expanded in a horizontal wedge-shaped lobe. 



Anal segment of female in profile moderately broad and distinctly 

 curved distad of anal foramen, Pregenital sternite strongly pro- 

 duced ventrocaudad, broadly convex in anteroventral view, a bluntly 

 conical eminence medially on dorsal sm-face a little distance from 

 margin. 



Male, length 5.1 mm., tegmen 6.0 mm. Female, length 5.8 mm., 

 legmen 6.6 mm. 



Specimens examined: 4 males (one the holotype, USNM 62018), 

 2 females (one the allotype), and a nymph taken on Cyathea sp. and 

 other vegetation in mountain forest, Quilesse, St. Lucia, Feb. 21, 1941, 

 Fennah. This species is quite distinct from any so far described. 

 It differs from all in the shape of the male genitalia, from Colpoptera 

 portoricensis Dozier, new combination, in its smaller size, and from 

 Colpoptera rara Caldwell, new combination, C. monticolens Dozier, and 

 C. nemonticolens Caldwell in the shape of the hind margin of the 

 pregenital sternite of the female. 



Colpoptera meleagris, new species 



Figure l,p-v 



Testaceous; disc of frons except for a spot on each side at level of 

 antennae and some small spots on lateral margins and disc of clypeus 

 except near base reddish brown; a few spots on pronotum behmd eyes, 

 mesonotum, and pro tibiae and meso tibiae anteriorly yellowish brown; 

 abdomen brown, posterior margin pallid. Tegmina hyaline, tinged 

 pale yellow, sometimes with a broad sinuate vitta from costa at base 

 to humeral eminence, then obliquely to claval suture, thence broaden-
