FULGOROIDEA OF TRINIDAD—FENNAH A483 
NOGODINA RETICULATA (Fabricius) 
PLATE 14, Figures 414-418 
Flata reticulata Fasricius, Systema rhyngotorum, p. 47, 1803. 
Female: Length, 6.2 mm.; tegmen, 7.8 mm. 
Vertex with anterior margin straight, flattened; frons with median 
carina present, lateral carinae obsolete. | 
Fuscous; tegmina with costal membrane infuscate, with three hya- 
line spots, apical margin broadly infuscate, a narrow interrupted fus- 
cous band from costa to commissural margin at basal third, and a simi- 
lar band along nodal line; wings infuscate at apical margin. 
Ovipositor with lateral styles broad, dorsal margin horizontal, 
shghtly curved upward distally, ventral margin excavate basally, 
apical margin rounded; second valvulae narrow, dorsal and ventral 
margins converging to middle, then slightly diverging, continuing 
subparallel to rounded apex; first valvulae narrow, dorsal margin 
straight, ventral margin slightly convex, a row of eight teeth dorsally 
on distal half, a narrow bladelike lobe attached on inner face basally, 
directed posteriorly. 
Ege ovoid, 2.4 times longer than broad, smooth, not operculate. 
Described from one female specimen taken by Dr. J. G. Myers in 
Surinam (May 29, 1929). 
Genus BLADINA Stal 
Biadina STA, Berliner Ent. Zeitschr., vol. 3, p. 324, 1859. (Genotype, Bladina 
fuscovenosa Stal. ) 
Head with eyes nearly as broad as pronotum; vertex short, about 
four times as broad as long in middle, lateral margins subparallel, 
anterior margin straight or very slightly curved, carinate, posterior 
margin broadly excavate; frons longer than broad, lateral margins 
nearly parallel to below level of antennae, then incurved to fronto- 
clypeal suture, median carina percurrent, lateral carinae absent, some- 
times indicated basally, a row of pustules inside each lateral margin; 
clypeus tricarinate. Pronotum twice as long as vertex in middle, 
anterior margin convex, posterior margin broadly excavate, median 
carina present; mesonotum tricarinate, lateral carinae straight, some- 
times meeting a curved transverse ridge anteriorly. Posttibiae with 
four spines. Tegmina with costal and commissural margins parallel, 
not diverging apically, costal membrane narrow, traversed by irregu- 
lar veinlets, Se +R united basally in a common stalk, M branching in 
basal third, Cu, simple, membrane with many supernumerary longi- 
tudinal veins, with numerous irregular transverse veinlets between 
them, usually no distinct transverse line on membrane or at most an 
irregular line.
