The present identification of Tettigonia auroguttata Signoret rests on a dissec- 
tion of the male lectotype. This species exhibits a considerable amount of 
variation in pygofer, style apex, and aedeagus, some of which is illustrated. 
There is a possibility that a species complex is involved. The lectotype of 7. 
wcterica Signoret also falls within the limits of auroguttata as presently inter- 
preted. 7. caicus Walker is known only from the female lectotype, from Rio de 
Janeiro. 
There is a possibility that Aulacizes tsabellina Fowler, as interpreted here, is a 
species complex. The male lectotype has been dissected as have the male lec- 
totype of Tettigonia erumpens Fowler and of 7. spectralis Fowler. The present in- 
terpretation of 7. rufa Walker rests on the male lectotype of that species, as 
does the identity of 7. sordida Signoret. The identity of Aulacizes splendidula 
Osborn is based on a male paratopotype from the Carnegie Museum. 
No specimens of Tettigonia macroptera Latreille have been seen by the writer, 
but the species was correctly placed in Paromenia by Metcalf (1965a:258), 
judging from the original illustrations. 
Tettigonia pellucida Signoret is known only from the female lectotype of 
Tettigonia longipes Walker from Quito, Ecuador. The head of the lectotype is 
more deltoid than usual for the genus, and the writer has not been able to 
find other specimens to correspond to that type in this character.
