Abstract

This is one in a series of papers (Metcalf and Bruner 1925a, 1925b, 1930a, 1936a, and 1944a) devoted to a survey of the homopterous fauna of Cuba. The flatidae is one of the larger families of the superfamily fulgoroidea. In our catalogue of this family there are recorded at the present time 184 genera and 894 species from various parts of the world. The number of species in the Palearctic fauna is small, and the Nearctic fauna has a limited number of species. But the Caribbean, Neotropical, Oriental, Ethiopian, Malaysian, Austro-Malayan and Australian faunas have a large number of species. The family is well represented in Cuba. The present paper records 16 genera and 42 species of which 9 genera and 32 species are believed to be new.
