FULGOROIDEA OF TRINIDAD—FENNAH 459) 
present, the latter sometimes feeble; clypeus with a median carina 
and carinate lateral margins. Pronotum with anterior margin convex, 
posterior margin shallowly excavated, with a deeper median notch, 
median carina present; mesonotum tricarinate. Tegmina long and 
rather narrow, Sc+R forking near stigma, M forking basad of apex 
of clavus. Cu, forking still further basad, stigma with two to four 
cells, nodal line of transverse veins present, a subapical line which is: 
sometimes rather irregular, and an apical line, veins of clavus uniting 
before middle. 
This genus is the same as Cuernavaca, a subgenus of Dictyophara 
erected by Kirkaldy with DYichoptera herbida Walker as its type 
(Kirkaldy, Bull. Hawaiian Sugar Planters’ Assoc., Div. Ent., No. 12, 
p. 14, 1918). The species are most readily separated by the shape of 
the vertex, while the writer has made use of the genitalia, that of the 
first valvulae of the ovipositor being exceptionally useful.

distinct, base of frons visible from above; frons with median carina 
distinct, lateral carinae less so, frons about 1.7 times longer than wide.

on disk between median and lateral carinae, scutellum very pale, al- 
most white; femora piceous on inner surface, protibiae and tarsi dark; 
abdomen dark brown, a pale broad longitudinal band medially on 
dorsal and ventral surfaces, lateral margins pale, genitalia fuscous; 
tegmina with veins of membrane very dark, nodal line of cross veins 
narrowly infuscate from R, a broad dark oblique line from apex of 
R to apex of clavus, with a second dark band arising at apex of R 
and following apical margin to Cu;,, commissural margin infuscate 
from apex of Cu,, to a point halfway along clavus; wings with veins 
dark, anal area fuscous toward margin. |
