have followed Blanchard (1850a:190) and other authors in listing Tettigonia 
miniata Germar in synonymy under quadrifasciata, as a result of an examination 
of specimens which were apparently syntypes of miniata from the Heyer collec- 
tion in ZIMH. 
The present interpretation of Cardioscarta sponsa Melichar is based on a 
study of the male lectotype. I have based my interpretation of Tettigonia ver- 
nicosa Le Peletier and Serville on four specimens in the museum in Paris, 
agreeing with Signoret’s illustration (1853b: pl. 12, fig. 7), but without any in- 
dication that they might be types. The male genitalia of one of the specimens 
are like the present illustration of sponsa, except for the structures illustrated in 
figure 167.
