FULGOROIDEA OF TRINIDAD—FENNAH A487 
Anal segment of male in profile expanding distally, deflexed beyond 
anus, dorsal margin almost straight, ventral margin sinuately convex, 
apex truncate, with a median channel to anal foramen. Aedeagus 
tubular, bent into a U shape, comprising dorsally a thin fiat mem- 
brane concave at apex, its sides strongly deflexed and tapering to 
apical angles where they are produced into a point; below this mem- 
brane a pair of processes on each side, the outer in the form of a 
slender tapering rod, pointed at apex, the inner similarly curved, 
broader, rounded at apex, with a slender filament arising subapically 
on its ventral margin, enclosing a U-shaped hollow; ventrally a pair 
- of processes on each side, the inner long, bladelike, semimembranous, 
tapering gradually to apex, the outer small, less than half length of 
preceding, sinuate, with the pointed apex directed dorsally. Genital 
styles fairly broad, dorsal and ventral margins convex, apical process 
vertical, somewhat peglike, slightly curved anteriorly, truncate at 
_ apex. 
Anal segment of female short, in profile obliquely truncate distally, 
rather deflexed beyond anus, lateral angles not produced. Ovipositor 
with lateral styles broad, dorsal margin straight, ventral margin con- 
_ vex, curving strongly upward distally, devoid of an apical process; 
first valvulae elongate, narrow, dorsal margin straight with three 
single teeth, widely spaced, and distad of them two alternated rows of 
about three teeth each, apex pointed with a single tooth below it, ventral 
margin shallowly convex; a thinner lobe of same size as preceding ad- 
pressed against its inner face, attached at base. 
Egg elongate-ovate, narrower at one pole, with a slight impression 
laterally near the more rounded pole, smooth, 1.2 mm. long, 0.5 mm. 
wide. 
Described from one male and four females collected by W. Buthn 
at Hacienda Tenguel, Ecuador (Aug. 20, 1920), labeled “abundant on 
cacao.”

Vertex short, more than four times as broad as long in middle, an- 
terior border transverse, slightly angulately produced, carinate, lateral 
margins subparallel, strongly raised, posterior margin rather deeply 
roundingly excavate, median carina obsolete; frons longer than broad, 
flat, lateral margins raised, subparallel, scarcely diverging to level 
of antennae then curved inward to frontoclypeal suture, median carina 
distinct, obsolete in apical seventh, lateral carinae distinct on basal half, 
obsolete on apical half; clypeus tricarinate; antennae with first seg- 
ment very short, second segment cylindrical, slightly expanded dis-
