Pregenital sternite of female very shallowly convexly produced on 

 posterior margin. 



Male, length 7.6 mm., tegmen 7.6 mm. Female, length 8.5 mm., 

 tegmen 10.0 mm. 



Specimens examined: Holotj^pe male, allotype female (USNM 

 62007), and 78 males and 88 females on "roucou" (Caesalpinia hondu- 

 cella) in a gully near Plymouth, Montserrat, B. W. I., Jan. 17, 1939, 

 Fennah. A single female from St. Kitts, Jan. 23, 1942, Fennah, 

 also is assigned to this species. 



This species is distinguished by the strongly produced laterodorsal 

 angles of the pygofer and hj the shape of the processes of the aedeagus. 



Acanalonia hetvanorrae, new species 



[Figure 5,s-u 



Of same form, size, and color as A. honducellae, new species. Post- 

 tibiae apically to 8 spined, basal metatarsal joint 9-spined. 



Anal segment of male moderately long, anal foramen situated 

 slightly distad of middle, apical margin rather broadly rounded. 

 Pygofer with laterodorsal angles bluntly rectangulate, not produced, 

 lateral margins vertical, not oblique. Aedeagus of same form as in 



A. honducellae, iimer pair of processes distally decurved and acumi- 

 inate; apical processes reflected below aedeagus, devoid of secondary 

 appendages, and acuminate at apex. Genital styles of same form 

 as in A. honducellae. 



Pregenital sternite of female produced caudad at middle in a semi- 

 circular lobe, margin distinctly excavate on each side of this lobe. 



Specimens examined: Holotype male, allotype female (USNM 

 62006), and 12 males, 13 females, and 9 nymphs from St. Lucia, 



B. W. I., Nov. 30, 1938, Fennah. Also assigned to this species are 

 3 males, 1 female, and 1 nj^mph from Kingstown, St. Vincent, B. W. I., 

 Mar. 31, 1941, Fennah, and 1 male from Alardi Gras, Grenada, 

 B. W. I., Oct. 30, 1943, Fennah. 



This species differs from A. honducellae, which it generally resembles, 

 in the shape of the pygofer, the acuminate apex of all the aedeagal 

 processes, and, in the female, in the shape of the pregenital sternite. 



The close agreement in the shape of the anal segment of the male 

 and of the genital styles raises the question whether this species is 

 not perhaps better regarded as a subspecies of A. honducellae. With 

 the material available, recognition of A. hewanorrae as a full species 

 appears to be the better interpretation of the data, but if intermediate 

 forms should be found in Martinique, Dominica, and Guadeloupe, 

 the St. Lucian form may have to be reduced in status.
