FULGOROIDEA OF TRINIDAD—FEN NAH 467 
complete, joined near middle of frons by a V-shaped ridge, sometimes 
incomplete, arising from basal and apical angles of frons on each side; 
frontoclypeal suture distinctly arcuate, deeply impressed; clypeus 
broadly triangular, with a tumid median area medially toward base; 
antennae with second segment globose; eyes not large, with a minute 
tooth posteriorly. Pronotum broad, slightly broader than head with 
eyes, approximately three times as long as vertex, anterior margin 
strongly convex, posterior margin shallowly excavate, median carina 
present, though usually not complete, sometimes joined by a transverse 
callus or ridge on each side; mesonotum broad, tricarinate, the lateral 
areas variously ornamented by calloused elevations or ridges; scutellum 
thickened. Tegmina with sides subparallel, obliquely truncate at apex, 
costal cell rather narrow, veins basad of nodal line prominent, with 
transverse veins irregular, numerous supernumerary longitudinal 
veins distad of nodal line with transverse veins in simple ladderlike 
series; clavus with veins uniting near their junction with commis- 
sural margin. Hind tibiae with four or five spines. Abdomen with 
last visible segment with tergite broadly rounded posteriorly, produced 
above anus.

Head, pronotum, mesonotum, procoxae, and mesocoxae brown or 
dark testaceous; a small median spot anteriorly on vertex, an elongate 
spot on each side of frons basally, a large spot on each side of middle 
line at level of antennae, a median spot on clypeus at base black; pro- 
notum with a median spot apically, a cloud behind eyes extending 
laterad into a spot, a round spot on each side of middle of disk, a round 
spot on lateral lobe below antennae piceous; mesonotum with two large 
spots touching middle line in middle of disk, two spots anterolaterally, 
two large spots posterolaterally, a small spot on each side at base of 
scutellum dark fuscous or piceous; a small dark cloud below insertion — 
of tegmen, with a large dark spot on pleurite below it, and a spot near 
base of procoxae and mesocoxae; legs reddish, tarsi dark; abdomen 
red; tegmina with costal vein red, remainder mostly yellow, trans- 
verse veins red basally, pale in a median transverse band, distad of this 
pale reddish orange to nodal line, intervenal areas black, reddish in a 
median transverse band, four pale spots in costal cell, about six paler 
spots in pale transverse area, and about six pale spots on clavus, trans- 
verse veins narrowly pale at base of membrane, darker distally, longi- 
tudinal veins fuscous; wings vitreous with a large area of crimson-red 
and black at base, veins dark.
