FULGOROIDEA OF TRINIDAD—FENNAH 451 
drawn out into a short point lateroapically, and below this a broad 
scooplike process, slightly longer than the dorsal hood, with a median 
ridge, minutely serrate, on its upper surface, and a corresponding 
eroove on its lower. Genital styles short, broad, in side view to lower 
border sinuate, curving distally upward, the dorsal border mostly 
straight, turned slightly upward at apex, with a short vertical lobe 
subapically. 
Anal segment of female small, lateral angles produced posteriorly 
almost as far as apex of telson. Lateral styles broad, lower margin 
rounded, dorsal margin deeply excavated, an expanded lobe, approxi- 
mately quadrate, at apex. Ovipositor greatly reduced, largely mem- 
branous, with slender sclerotized components. 
Described from 31 males and 44 females taken by the writer in St. 
John’s Valley, Trinidad, B. W. I., on various dates between May 1942 
and March 1943, on various shrubs and on cacao. Holotype male and 
allotype, U.S.N.M. No. 56697; paratypes in B.M.N.H. This genus 
differs from Atopocixius Muir, Oeclidius Van Duzee, and Paroeclidius 
Myers in not having the vertex produced in front of the eyes and in 
the details of the tegminal venation. | 
Subfamily PROSOTROPINAE 
EPARMENOIDES, new genus 
Head, with eyes, scarcely two-thirds width of pronotum; vertex 
longer than wide, shallowly excavated at base, lateral margins con- 
verging somewhat anteriorly, vertex in profile curving uninterruptedly 
onto frons, median carina distinct, no transverse carina at apex; 
frons one and three-quarters times longer than wide, apex about twice 
as wide as base, lateral margins diverging for two-thirds from base, 
then curving in toward suture, carinate, median carina distinct, percur- 
rent, basal half of frons sloping evenly into vertex, distal half some- 
what convex; median ocellus absent; clypeus at base not quite so wide 
as widest part of frons, tapering acutely to apex, carinate medially and 
laterally, somewhat convex; genae slightly tumid below antennae, de- 
void of a subantennal process; antennae with basal segment very short, 
second segment distinctly longer than broad; eyes moderately emar- 
ginate ventrally. Pronotum shorter than vertex, anterior margin 
incurved behind eyes, posterior margin shallowly excavated, median 
carina distinct, lateral carinae of the disk feebly present, a carina on 
each lateral margin between eye and tegula; mesonotum feebly convex. 
posteriorly concave, median and lateral carinae distinct, scutellum acute 
at tip. Hind tibiae unarmed. Tegmina slightly more than two and 
a half times as long as wide, seven apical cells, two ante-apical cells 
distad of nodal line; common stalk of Sc+R+M about one-quarter
