nites, except for a median linear spot posteriorly on latter, brown or 

 fuscous; anal segment castaneous-piceous, genital styles ventrally 

 light fuscous. Tegmina subhyaline, corium and membrane castane- 

 ous-fuscous except at base, and a large hyaline spot on costal margin 

 one quarter from base, and a narrower and more elongate area in 

 region of node; clavus lightly marbled with yellowish fuscous. Wings 

 lightly and uniformly infuscate. 



Anal segment of male rather short, anal foramen situated about 

 one-third from base, apical margin convex; anal segment in profile 

 weakly declivous distad of anal foramen, lower margin concave, 

 lateroapical angles broadly and strongly produced ventrad, acute at 

 tip. Pygofer with dorsal angles roundly produced. Aedeagus long, 

 tubular, curved upwards distally, a narrow subvertical lobe on dorsal 

 surface at base near point of suspension; a pair of moderately long 

 straight spines arising laterodorsally near apex, each with a minute 

 spine dorsally at its base, directed cephalad and lying close against 

 aedeagus. Genital styles subtriangular, ventral margin straight, 

 dorsal margin ascending straight from base to near middle, then 

 abruptly descending to base of dorsal process; apical margin deeply 

 convex, dorsal process relatively short and stout, shortly bifurcate 

 distally with the anterior limb directed dorsad and the posterior 

 laterad. 



Anal segment of female moderately long, apical margin transverse. 

 Third valvulae of ovipositor broadly triangular, narrowing distad, 

 apical margin unpigmented, tumid, and membranous. Pregenital 

 sternite with posterior margin transverse, a very short and broad 

 unpigmented setigerous eminence at middle. 



Male, length 3.3 mm., tegmen 4.3 mm. Female, length 5.0 mm., 

 tegmen 5.3 mm. 



Specimens examined: 26 males, 30 females, and 4 nymphs, mostly 

 taken on Lantana sp., Soufriere, St. Lucia, B. W. I., Feb. 25, 1941, 

 Fennah. Holotype male, allotype female, USNM 62016. 



This species is distinguished readily by the bold color pattern and 

 by the shape of the male and female genitalia.
