FULGOROIDEA OF TRINIDAD—FENNAH 503 
ACANALONIA UMBELLICAUDA, new species 
PLATE 16, Ficures 493-502, 510 
Male: Length, 8.0 mm.; tegmen, 8.5mm. Female: Length, 7.9 mm.; 
tegmen, 9.7 mm. | 
Vertex 3.3 times as broad as long, anterior margin straight, carinae 
obsolete; frons broader than long (1.2:1), flattened, with median 
carina present throughout, lateral carinae present only at base. 
Pale green; costa pallid, anterior margin of genae, protarsi and 
mesotarsi, and a row of short linear markings inside apical margin of 
tegmen fuscous, procoxae and mesocoxae fuscous speckled with 
whitish spots. 
Anal segment of male large, narrow in dorsal view, produced on 
each side beyond anal opening into a large lobe, broadly triangular 
in side view and twice as long as preanal portion, with a notch near 
its base. Pygofer with lateral margins straight, ventral posterior 
border transverse, devoid of a process. Aedeagus tubular, a flattened 
bladelike process arising on each side at middle, directed posteriorly 
and slightly upward, expanding distally and truncate at apex with a 
short spine at one angle; a pair of slender spines arising at apex, 
curving ventrad and directed anteriorly for nearly whole length of 
aedeagus. Genital styles broad, dorsal margin convex, ventral margin 
straight, rounded apically, a small peglike process with a sclerotized 
tip on dorsal margin near base. 
Anal segment of female elongate, produced beyond anal opening 
in a grooved lamina notched at apex. Ovipositor with lateral styles 
large, concave on dorsal margin, ventral margin curving through a 
quarter circle, greatest width 1.4 times length; first valvulae with a 
dorsal outer row of six small teeth near apex, and a longer inner row 
of five broader teeth. Pregenital sternite with hind margin sinuate, 
slightly produced near middle line, with a V-shaped notch medially. 
Described from one male and three females collected by the writer 
at St. Augustine, Trinidad, B. W. I., on various dates between April 
1942 and March 1943 on Caesalpima and Asparagus. Holotype male 
in B.M.N.H.; allotype, U.S.N.M. No. 56711. This species is dis- 
tinguished by its flat frons, by the shape of the anal segment of the 
male and of the aedeagus, by the shape of the lateral styles of the 
ovipositor, and by the fuscous-speckled protibiae and mesotibiae. It 
is very near the female type of A. complanata Walker, described from 
an unknown locality.
