FULGOROIDEA OF TRINIDAD—FENNAH 495 
rounded, somewhat oblique, apical process a vertical spine, curving 
slightly anteriorly. 
Anal segment of female short, broad, rounded at apex and scarcely 
defiexed. Ovipositor with lateral styles thick, broad, with a double 
row of seventeen strong teeth directed mesad on distal margin and 
a single tooth situated slightly basad on inner surface at dorsal 
end of row; second valvulae in profile tapering to a point, lower 
margin straight, oblique, upper margin straight with a round knob 
laterally halfway from base; medially in distal half a thin, vertical, 
broadly triangular plate with apex curved posteriorly; first valvulae 
broad, twisted at base, narrowed sharply to a point at apex, flanked 
on each side with a pair of short teeth; a thin tapering process at- 
tached mesally at base, directed posteriorly and adpressed to inner 
face of valvulae. 
Egg ovoid, in anterior view slightly more narrowed toward one pole, 
in side view crescentic, obliquely truncate at one end, a longitudinal 
groove present for four-fifths of length, with its margins broadly 
thickened, traversed by numerous fine parallel lines; length, 0.9 mm.; 
width in side view, 0.45 mm. 
Described from 24 males and 29 females taken by the writer at St. 
Augustine, Trinidad, B. W. I., on Liberian coffee and Cordia sp., Lan- 
tana camara, and Hibiscus between June 1942 and March 1943. This 
species is superficially similar to Hpormenis cestri (Berg) but differs 
in color and in its smaller size.
