FULGOROIDEA OF TRINIDAD—FEN NAH 49] 
tween them with minute orange specks, wings milk white, veins at base 
pink, apex of anal segment of female pink, protibiae and mesotibiae 
reddish. Insect powdered very pale green. 
Anal segment of female short, in dorsal view ovate, broad at base, 
tapering toward apex, apex rounded with a median notch, distal por- 
tion shallowly channeled, telson arising distad of middle. Ovipositor 
with lateral styles large, subtriangular, sinuate on dorsal margin, 
lower margin curved with a row of 21 teeth, in a single row distally, in 
pairs basally; second valvulae laterally compressed, with lower margin 
straight, an asymmetrical excavation at apex, dorsal margin convex at 
base, sinuately narrowing to apex; first valvulae broad basally, taper- 
ing to apex, dorsal margin slightly convex with ten small teeth, a 
submarginal ridge passing to apex bearing eight small teeth in basal 
two-thirds and five larger teeth distally, a thin tapering lobe, with 
minutely shagreen surface, adpressed on inner face, attached at base. 
Keg approximately ovoid, obliquely truncate at one pole, with a 
short crease extending for one-quarter length of egg, bordered on each 
side by a thickening of the shell, reticulately patterned and traversed 
by numerous fine parallel lines; length, 1.0 mm., width, 0.4 mm. 
Described from one female collected by F. W. Urich (1920), no 
locality being given. Melichar gives “Sudamerika, Brasilien, Bahia” 
as the locality for his material, and until confirmed Urich’s specimen 
must be considered a doubtful Trinidad record. 
14b. Tegmina not much expanded distally, sutural angle not produced, or if so 
rounded, not acutely pointed.

Genus EPORMENIS, new: name 
Ormenis METcALF, Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., vol. 82, p. 894, 1938 (not Ormenis Stal, 
1862). (Genotype, Poeciloptera roscida Germar by present designation.) 
Vertex very short; frons as broad as long or broader, median carina 
present only on basal half, lateral margins curved; clypeus devoid of 
carinae. Pronotum convex anteriorly, concave posteriorly, smooth, 
with a small impression on each side of middle line; mesonotum de- 
void of carinae, or with median carina scarcely indicated at base or 
apex and lateral carinae at base. Hind tibiae with two spines before 
apex. Tegmina with anterior and posterior margins subparallel, 
costal margin not ampliate, costal membrane generally wider than 
costal cell, Sc strong, simple to apex, R forking about one-third from 
base, M forking level with R fork or slightly basad, Cu, forking 
rather basad of M fork, base of R and M granulate, apical and sub- 
apical lines of transverse veins even and distinct, a few irregular cross 
veins between node and apex of clavus, apical veins forked or simple 
in irregular sequence.
