more distal tarsomeres, and with two longitudinal rows of small setae on 
plantar surface. 
Male genitalia: Pygofer well produced, posterodorsal margin narrowly 
rounded, macrosetae not extremely numerous, arranged in diagonal group. 
Plates triangular, not extending as far posteriorly as pygofer apex, with uni- 
seriate macrosetae and with microsetae. Style not extending posteriorly nearly 
as far as apex of connective, with or without preapical lobe. Connective very 
elongate Y-shaped, with stem much longer than arms. Aedeagus sym- 
metrical, slender, extending posterodorsally, not strongly curved. Paraphyses 
paired, symmetrical. 
Female abdominal sternum VII with a median angulate or small convex 
projection on posterior margin. Genital chamber with or without sclerites. 
Ovipositor with second valvulae variable interspecifically, each with the 
toothed portion occurring through all or apical two-thirds of dorsal margin 
beyond basal curvature, apex acute or rounded, primary teeth quadrate and 
with secondaries, apicoventral margin with very fine denticulations. Pygofer 
greatly resembling that of male in lateral view, and with similar setal pattern. 
jakrama, new genus, ranges from British Guiana, Venezuela, and Colombia 
southward and southwestward to Bolivia and northeastern Brazil. The genus 
appears to be related to Oragua Melichar and Tubiga, new genus. 
The type-species, Tettigonia serville: Signoret, is without a type-specimen. 
The present identification of this species is based on a comparison of speci- 
mens with the original illustration. There are two specimens of this species in 
the Signoret collection in Vienna, one of which has the abdomen missing, the 
other a female, neither eligible as lectotype. The species is more robust than 
in Signoret’s illustration. It contains several distinct color varieties, one as in 
the original illustration. A second variety from French Guiana is also similar 
to the original illustration but with a pronotal posterior submarginal black 
marking adjoining the black marking of the scutellum. A third variety known 
only from a single male from Bolivia has the anterior pale portion of the fore- 
wings at rest occupying almost the whole of the forewings before the trans- 
commissural black marking which occurs near the claval apex. In a fourth 
variety, from Tingo Maria, Peru, the forewings are black with a narrow trans- 
commissural pale marking just before midlength and with the apical portion 
conspicuously membranous. A fifth variety of which specimens have been ex- 
amined only from Bolivia, all of them somewhat teneral, has red forewings 
with a pair of humeral pale spots near the scutellum and a narrow transcom- 
missural pale marking close behind this and with the wing apices pale. These 
color varieties appear as distinct as many species, but no morphological dif- 
ferences have been found to separate them. Both male and female genitalia 
are similar in all of the specimens studied.
