slightly concave in some species. Pygofer with few macrosetae located parallel 
to apical and posteroventral margin. 
All of the species of Soosiulus are red or orange, marked with black. 
The range of the genus is from Costa Rica and Panama through the 
Amazon Valley in Brazil and to Peru and Bolivia. The genus is similar in ap- 
pearance to Ladoffa, new genus, and the form of the aedeagus of several of the 
species (e.g. servulus (Melichar); decoris, n. sp.; falcifer, n. sp.) suggests a 
relationship to Ladoffa and other genera in the Diedrocephala complex, but the 
forewings are not concave apically, and the variations in the connective are 
not found in Ladoffa. Soosiulus is also similar to Ramosulus, new genus, in the 
treatment of which distinguishing characters are discussed. 
This genus is named in honor of Dr. Arpad Sods of the Magyar Nemzeti 
Muzeum whose assistance and cooperation have contributed to this work, and 
whose hospitality made a January visit to Budapest a warm memory. 
I have placed Tettigonia configurata Walker in Soosiulus after a study of the 
lectotype, which is without an abdomen. 
The male genitalia of the Fabrician type of Soostulus fabricuu (Metcalf) agree 
well with figure 300. The present interpretation of Tettigonia salutaris Fowler 
rests on a comparison of the anterior dorsum of the female lectotype, with an 
earlier sketch of those structures (fig. 305a). 
The male genitalia of the lectotype of Cardioscarta solida Melichar agree well 
with figure 314. A male compared externally with the lectotype of Tettigonia 
trivirgata Fowler has genitalia like those illustrated here.
