shaft slender, curved gradually dorsally, with a pair of slender acute dorso- 
apical processes. Paraphyses with rami narrow, scarcely stalked, slender, 
elongate, tapered, acute. 
Female unknown. 
Aguatala, new genus, is known only from the type-species, from Venezuela 
(2). In form, Aguatala resembles Erythrogonia species to some extent, but is 
more robust. The male plates are similar to many Erythrogonia, also.

Structural characters as in generic description. 
Head and pronotum sordid yellow, with a narrow transverse purple stripe 
across posterior half of pronotum; scutellum purple; forewings sordid yellow 
with a purple spot near transcommissural margin on each clavus and a semi- 
circular purple arc on each wing meeting its complement posteriorly at claval 
apex but narrowly failing to reach the commissural margin near scutellar 
apex, the anterior extremities of each arc connected with the smaller claval 
spot, the posterior extremities so connected (holotype) or not; a black spot 
before apical membrane; upper portion of clypeus and median portion of cly- 
pellus concolorous with crown, remainder of face black except narrow pale 
margins of genae; propleura pale, remainder of thoracic pleura and venter 
brown; legs concolorous with crown except pale brown posterior tibiae and 
tarsi.

Type-species: Tettigonia fairmairei Signoret. 
Head moderately produced, median length of crown varying from one-half 
to approximately two-thirds interocular width and from one-third to four- 
tenths transocular width, without a carina at transition from crown to face, 
ocelli located slightly before a line between anterior eye angles, each approxi- 
mately equidistant from median line and adjacent anterior eye angle, disk 
with a slight transverse concavity between ocelli, without sculpturing or setae, 
lateral clypeal sutures extending onto crown and attaining ocelli; antennal 
ledge with anterior margin obliquely convex in lateral view; face convex, 
clypeus with muscle impressions distinct, clypellus with contour of its lower 
portion more nearly horizontal than profile of remainder of face, weakly 
pubescent. 
Thorax with pronotal width greater than transocular width of head, lateral 
margins convergent anteriorly; dorsopleural carinae incomplete, posterior 
pronotal margin concave, disk of pronotum not or weakly transversely rugose. 
Forewing with membrane including all of apical cells, a short portion of costal 
.
