FULGOROIDEA OF TRINIDAD—FENNAH 447 
in B.M.N.H. This species is very like cyanea but is readily distin- 
guishable by the shape of the male anal segment, genital styles, and 
aedeagus, and less easily in the female by the straight-sided first valvu- 
lae. In color it is distinguished by the pale subapical joint of the ros- 
trum, the pale legs, the crimson abdomen, and in the female by the 
pale yellow first valvulae. 
Genus PATARA Westwood 
Patara WerEstwoop, Trans. Linn. Soe. London, vol. 19, p. 13, figs. Ga—d, 1845. 
(Genotype, P. guitata Westwood, ibid.) 
Vertex small, triangular; frons very narrow, margins contiguous to 
near apex; vertex and frons in profile forming a curve; genae devoid 
of a subantennal process; antennae reaching beyond apex of head, sec- 
ond segment large, cylindrical, not compressed. Small, delicate spe- 
cies, exhibiting sexual dimorphism in the second segment of the 
antennae. 
PATARA TRIGONA, new species 
PLATE 10, Figures 195-201 
Male: Length, 2.3 mm.; tegmen, 2.7 mm. 
Antennae with second segment subcylindrical, expanding slightly to 
apex, uniformly minutely granular except at apex and along a narrow 
dorsal triangular area extending basad from apex. Tegmina with 
commissural margin only slightly excavated at apex of clavus. 
Vertex, frons, genae, pronotum, and lateral areas of mesonotum 
fuscous; clypeus, rostrum, scutellum, and legs pallid; antennae yellow, 
clouded with very numerous minute piceous granules, bare portion pal- 
lid; eyes red; abdominal sclerites and genitalia pale fuscous, mem- 
brane red; tegmina fuscous, margin from middle of costa to apex 
of clavus white, apical veins white submarginally, claval vein distad 
of junction white to near apex, apical margin of tegmina tinged pink; 
wings hyaline, slightly suffused fuscous, veins darker. 
Anal segment very short, subquadrate, posterior angles produced 
obliquely outward. Pygofer with lateral margins slightly sinuate, 
hind margin ventrally somewhat emarginate in middle, devoid of a 
medioventral process. Aedeagus tubular, bent dorsad apically, a small 
lobe on left dorsal margin two-fifths from base; two spines on left 
side toward apex, both directed anteriorly, the ventral spine at least 
1.5 times as long as the dorsal; two longer spines on right side directed 
anteriorly, the lower sloping obliquely upward. 
Described from one male taken by the writer in St. John’s Valley, 
Trinidad, B. W. I. (June 12, 1942), resting on a low bush. Type,
