Female abdominal sternum VII moderately produced with posterior margin 
varying interspecifically from truncate or emarginate to tapered. Ovipositor 
with broad, toothed area of second valvulae occurring throughout region 
beyond basal curvature, the primaries sloping and bearing secondary denti- 
cles, and usually with minute anteapical dorsal and ventral denticles. 
Species of Pawzloma occur from Panama to Peru, in Venezuela, and in 
southern Brazil, Paraguay, and northern Argentina. The genus is similar in a 
number of respects to Erythrogonia Melichar, many species of which have the 
rami of the paraphyses widely separated at their bases in the males, and 
females in which the valvulae of the ovipositor are similar to Pawzloma species. 
There is so much variation in both genera that it is difficult to find mutually 
exclusive characters, but none of the species of Pawiloma have the distinct, dis- 
crete pale spots on either the anterior dorsum, or forewings, or both, that 
characterizes Erythrogonia, except P. paramoena, n. sp. The form of the female 
genitalia is also suggestive of a relationship with /nuyana, new genus, but the 
anal processes of the males of the latter are distinctive. 
Some specimens of Pawiloma victima (Germar) in USNM were collected on 
Persea Indica Sprengel. 
My identification of Tettigonia amoena Walker is based on an examination of 
the lectotype, as is the present identification of the synonymous Tettigonia 
maculicollis Signoret. 
My interpretation of Erythrogonia eclesia Melichar is based on an examina- 
tion of specimens in MHNP, all females, a series of females in NCS, and a 
single male from ZIL. No lectotype was selected earlier because I did not 
know whether this would duplicate a selection by Medler, whose paper was 
then in press. 
The identification of Cardioscarta festiva Melichar is based on an examination 
of the lectotype and a dissection of a male specimen compared with it. 
I have identified Tettigonia multilunatula Breddin in the sense of a male 
specimen compared with the female lectotype. 
Tettigonia victima Germar is identified here in the sense of specimens iden- 
tified by Signoret in NMV.
