FULGOROIDEA OF TRINIDAD—FENNAH 485 
each lobe, about eleven in number, much longer than the remainder, the 
most dorsal tooth bifurcate, a pair of curved spines ventrally, attached 
near middle line distally, each spine with a semicircular excavation at 
basal third on one margin with a short curved spine at the same level 
on other margin. Genital styles broad, with sides strongly curved, 
dorsal margin straight, upturned near apex, ventral margin slightly 
convex, upturned distally, apical angle obliquely truncate as seen in 
profile. 
Described from six males and eight females collected by the writer

and on Rhoeo discolor (May 25, June 7, 1942) at St. Augustine, and

Male: Length, 6.0 mm., tezmen, 7.0 mm. 
Frons with a series of rather transversely linear pustules inside each 
lateral margin; median carina distinct on vertex, posterior half of 
pronotum and on mesonotum; posttibiae with four spines, the basal 
spine minute. 
Dark testaceous; eyes dark gray banded with fuscous arcs, ocelli 
bordered red, pronotum mostly pale, dark testaceous near anterior 
margin of disk and narrowly along posterior margin, with approxi- 
mately 15 fuscous dots on each side, arranged in two rows, the first 
submarginal anteriorly, mesonotum fuscous, slightly paler on disk; 
teomina fuscous between Sc and costal margin, and in posterior half 
of clavus, with an irregular reticulum of pale veinlets, corium other- 
wise testaceous-transparent, membrane more distinctly brown, vein R 
testaceous, remainder of veins on corium brown, a smal] fuscous spot 
on M at basal fork, a similar spot on Cu near basal cell, veins of mem- 
brane fuscous; wings transparent, somewhat clouded pale fuscous dis- 
tally, veins brown. 
Anal segment strongly deflexed distad of anus, telson long. Aedeagus 
complex; a laterally compressed broad tapering median process at 
middle of dorsal border, directed vertically, distad of this, on each side 
of aedeagus dorsally a pair of slender vertical spines, with their tips 
curved anteriorly, between the posterior of these and the apex a pair 
of slender vertical processes on each side, half as long as the anterior 
pair, the basad of this pair furcate, the distad simple; a curved, elon- 
gate, spinose process loosely attached near apex, giving off two parallel 
shorter spines at right angles about middle. Genital styles broad, dor-
