Female abdominal sternum VII with posterior margin moderately convex. 
Ovipositor with second valvulae each expanded beyond basal curvature and 
with large quadrate primary teeth extending almost to apex, each with a 
number of minute secondaries, apex rounded, posteroventral margin slightly 
concave and with a number of minute denticulations. Pygofer with a number 
of macrosetae on dorsal two-thirds. 
Specimens belonging to Baleja Melichar have been seen from Costa Rica, 
Panama, Gorgona Island, Colombia, French Guiana, and Brazil. Baleja 
belongs in the Paromenia complex of genera and shares with Jozima, new 
genus, and Parathona Melichar the peculiar form of the apex of the clypellus, 
but none of the species are as delicate as Jozima, and none have the aedeagal 
apex decurved in lateral view. 
The present interpretation of Tettigonia flavoguttata Latreille is based on Cen- 
tral American specimens determined by Melichar in MHNP. 
My identification of Tettigonia rufofasciata Distant is based on a study of the 
female lectotype and a dissection of a male compared with it, and the 
genitalia of the male lectotype of 7. detracta Fowler are closely similar. I have 
also studied the genitalia of the male lectotype of 7. ostrina Fowler. There are 
four color varieties of Baleja rufofasciata (Distant) at hand, one typical, one like 
typical ostrina, one from Ecuador, and one from Gorgona Island (off Colom- 
bia) the last two hitherto not mentioned in the literature; all are without in- 
tergrades, but I have not found other characters wherein they are distinct. 
My identification of Aulactzes marginula Osborn is based on the holotype 
from the Carnegie Museum. 
The genitalia of the male lectotype of Tettigonia serratula Breddin agree with 
the illustrations published here, as do those of the lectotype of Diedrocephala 
cleora Distant.
