FULGOROIDEA OF TRINIDAD—FENNAH A481 
- Described from eight males and nine females collected by the writer 
at Santa Margarita, Trinidad, B. W. I., on various dates in July and 
August 1942. This species is nearest to A. surinamensis Schmidt, 
from which it differs in the proportions of the vertex and in the vena- 
tion of the costal area. Holotype male and allotype, U.S.N.M. No. 
56705; paratype in B.M.N.H. 
100. Subcosta not giving off furcate veins to costal margin, tegmina pellucid, with 
a line of transverse veins distad of middle. 
Tribe TAMBINIINI 
ROESMA, new genus 
Vertex much longer than broad, produced before eyes in a taper- 
ing process as long as pronotum and mesonotum combined, shallowly 
tectiform, slightly upturned distally, median carina narrowly fur- 
cate on basal third, simple on distal two-thirds, lateral margins paral- 
lel between eyes, gradually converging almost in a straight line dis- 
tally, abruptly curved mesad at apex; frons much longer than broad, 
flattened, median carina distinct, lateral margins subparallel, slightly 
concave or sinuate basad of antennae, thence somewhat ampliate, 
curving inwardly to suture distally; clypeus short, with a weak median 
carina; rostrum scarcely reaching to mesocoxae; antennae with sec- 
ond segment three times as long as first, about three times as long 
as greatest width, expanding to apex, with sensoria in distal half. 
Pronotum about as long as eyes, convexly produced anteriorly, rather 
deeply emarginate posteriorly, disk tricarinate, two carinae on margin 
behind eye on each side; mesonotum tricarinate, lateral carinae meet- 
ing median carina anteriorly, scutellum transversely grooved at line 
of junction with disk. Hind tibiae with three spines. Tegmina 
with an extremely short Sc+R+M stalk, not exceeding one-third 
length of basal cell, Sec + R fork very close to nodal line of cross veins, 
M forking about middle of tegmen, with a second fork on posterior 
branch before cross veins, Cu, forking between first M fork and union 
of claval veins, claval veins uniting one-third from base, apex of 
clavus nearly three-quarters from base of tegmen. Ovipositor with 
third valvulae armed with fourteen teeth on apical margin. Egg 
subcylindrical, rounded at one pole, obliquely truncate and opercu- 
late at other, opercular rim thickened, slightly expanded anteriorly, 
surmounted laterally with a vertical membranous collar, joined an- 
teriorly to a short knoblike vertical chorionic process. 
This genus differs from Athestia Melichar in the shape of the 
vertex and of the tegmina, and in venation, and from Remosa Distant 
in the shape of the vertex, in the posteriorly forked median carina, in 
the number of teeth on the third valvulae and in the shape of the egg. 
Genotype: Roesma grandis, new species.
