Of two Mexican specimens of Tettigonia multicolor Signoret in NMV, one had 
the head missing, the other had the abdomen missing. I did not select a lec- 
totype. I compared the head of the second specimen with the present illustra- 
tion (fig. 713a) of Graphocephala flavovittata Metcalf. 
The male holotype of Keonolla gemella DeLong and Currie was destroyed, 
except for the genitalia, in shipping. The genitalia are as in the original 
description and illustration. I have also examined the male paratype, from 
which the illustration (fig. 702a) of the anterior dorsum was made. 
A male specimen of Tettigonia guerreroensis Fowler, compared with the female 
lectotype has genitalia like figure 718 in the present work. 
As pointed out above, there is no type for Tettsgonia hieroglyphica Say, and 
the original description is nearly worthless, Signoret (1858a:xxxii) synon- 
ymized it with his own Tettigonia gothica. The specimen Ball (1901e: pl. III, 
fig. 1) illustrated as hieroglyphica was compatible with Signoret’s action. The 
paler varieties of hieroglyphica have the median anchor-shaped marking on the 
crown always extending laterally along the basal margin. A male specimen 
from Iowa determined as hveroglyphica by Ball in the USNM agrees closely 
with the figure cited above. The genitalia of this specimen are like those of the 
lectotype of Tettigonia hieroglyphica var. dolobrata Ball. Some of the darker 
varieties of Ateroglyphica have the pale anchor-shaped coronal marking (ex- 
panded at basal margin as described above) and some do not, appearing like 
Ball’s 1901e: pl. III, fig. 2 illustration. These intergrade in color. There is 
some intraspecific variation in the degree to which the male paraphyses are 
expanded anteapically (fig. 724) and this has led to some confusion in the 
past, I think. I have studied the lectotype of Tettigonia lugubris Signoret and it 
is like the variety of hzeroglyphica illustrated here (fig. 724a). I have studied the 
lectotype of Tettigonia gothica Signoret (see p. 827 of present paper), the lecto- 
type of Tettigonia separanda Fowler, and the lectotype of Tettigonia amulae 
Fowler. 
The present identification of Graphocephala ignava Ball is based on specimens 
in the USNM bearing label ‘“‘D. ignava nov.” in Ball’s handwriting. Fowler’s 
Tettigonia ignobilis is known to me only from the type-series. 
I examined the lectotype of Tettigonia lemniscata Fowler, a female, but failed 
to compare it with typical specimens of 7. aurolineata Fowler which it closely 
resembles and with which it may be synonymous. 
I did not see the type-specimen(s) of Tettigonia lucast Signoret, from 
Guatemala. The original description says the specimen(s) were from the 
museum in Paris. There are two specimens from Mexico in the NMV. My in- 
terpretation of Neokolla lurida DeLong and Currie is based on the holotype. 
The holotype of Keonolla minuenda DeLong and Currie is a pale variety of 
which some specimens grade into the very distinctive variety illustrated here 
(fig. 727a). 
I have examined holotypes of Tettigonia nigrifascia Walker and of each of the 
nominal species listed in synonymy under it in the list of species, below. 
My interpretation of Tettigonia pectoralis Fowler is based on an examination 
of female lectotype (fig. 698) and a study of males subsequently associated 
with the illustration of the lectotype.
