FULGOROIDEA OF TRINIDAD—-FEN NAH 497 
This genus is apparently near Leptodascalia Melichar but differs 
in the frontal proportions, the proportionately much wider costal 
membrane, and the shape of the sutural angle of the tegmina. 
Genotype: Ormenis nigrospersa Fennah.

The examination of further material makes it possible to amplify 
the original description with the following data: 
Aedeagus with periandrium tubular, slightly curved upward dis- 
tally, dorsal margin with a minutely toothed ridge on each side at 
base, bluntly pointed at apex, where it is slightly impressed, not quite 
reaching to tip of aedeagus, a short cleft on each side laterally, below 
which is‘ a process curved backward, ventrad and then anteriorly, 
bifurcate about middle into two spines of unequal length, the longer 
about half as long as aedeagus; penis tubular, bifid for a short dis- 
tance at apex, the middle portion at base of cleft pointed, the sclero- 
tized apicolateral armature consisting of a minute vertical spine 
anteriorly, a scroll-like curved ledge ventrally, and a rather large 
lateral pouch. 
Ovipositor with first valvulae tapering upward to a point, a pair 
of minute teeth on each side at its base, a thin lobe on inner face 
attached at base tapering distally; second valvulae with lower margin 
obliquely tapering upward, dorsal margin curved downward at base, 
then raised in a long transparent domelike elevation, distad of which 
it is sinuately decurved to apex. 
Egg ovoid, surface delicately reticulate, a longitudinal groove 
extending for four-fifths length, bordered laterally with minute hair- 
like processes. 
A series of six males and four females is at hand taken by the writer 
at Santa Margarita, Trinidad, B. W. I., on various dates between July 
and September 1942. The type is in the U. S. National Museum.

Vertex short, anterior margin straight or nearly so; frons a little 
longer than broad, lateral margins slightly curved and raised, median 
carina present only in basal half. Pronotum convex anteriorly, con- 
cave posteriorly, with an impression on each side of middle line; mes- 
onotum inflated. devoid of carinae. Tegmina about twice as long as
