black markings; remainder of pronotum dull to bright green with numerous 
vermiculate black markings; clypeus mottled tan or yellow and black, the 
muscle impressions all distinct, transclypeal sulcus and at least apex of 
clypellus black, with sparse, variable black markings on lora and genae; 
thoracic pleura and legs tan and with or without black markings. 
Holotype male, Loreto, Misiones, Argentina, November 29, 1931 (A. A. 
Ogloblin); one female same data except date which is December 10, 1931 
(USNM). One male and one female, ‘““Bompland”’, Misiones, Argentina, 
January 13-14, 1927 (F. and M. Edwards) (BM). 
V. vermiculata, n. sp., is most readily separable from V. ruficauda (Walker), 
by the characters used in the key.

FIGURE 883 
Bucephalogonia Melichar, 1926a:341. Type-species: Tettigonia xanthophis Berg by subse- 
quent designation of China (1938d:183). 
Length of male 4.5-5.4 mm, of female 5.2-5.8 mm. 
Head moderately produced, median length of crown from four-tenths to 
slightly more than one-half interocular width and from one-fifth to one-third 
transocular width, anterior margin broadly rounded in dorsal view, without a 
carina at transition from crown to face, ocelli located slightly before a line be- 
tween anterior eye angles, each closer to adjacent anterior eye angle than to 
median line, crown convex with or without a slight transverse concavity, 
without a median fovea and without sculpturing or setae, lateral clypeal 
sutures extending onto crown and attaining ocelli; antennal ledges in lateral 
view with’ anterior margins convex and oblique, not carinate dorsally; clypeus 
convex, muscle impressions distinct, face without pubescence, transclypeal 
suture not entire, clypellus not strongly produced, its contour continuing 
profile of clypeus. 
Thorax with pronotal width less than transocular width of head, lateral 
margins parallel, dorsopleural carinae oblique, complete, posterior margin 
slightly concave, disk with or without transverse rugae, not pubescent; 
scutellum transversely striate or not, behind transverse sulcus. Forewing with 
membrane sharply delimited, including only apical cells and adjoining area 
along costal margin in some specimens, with entire apical one-half mem- 
branous in others, and of intermediate extent in numerous other specimens, 
veins distinct, not elevated, with four apical cells, the base of fourth more 
proximal than base of third, without an anteapical plexus of veins, texture 
coriaceous basally and without sculpturing; forewings of female in rest posi- 
tion exceeding apex of ovipositor. Hindleg in rest position with knee attaining 
posterior proepimeral margin, or not, femoral setal formula 2:1:0 (rarely 
2:1:1), length of first tarsomere approximately equal to combined length of 
two more distal tarsomeres and with two parallel rows of small setae on plan- 
tar surface. Male abdomen with a pair of short strong basiventral apodemes. 
Male genitalia: Pygofer moderately produced, truncate apically, with a few 
macrosetae on disk and near apex and a number of microsetae near and 
parallel to ventral margin. Plates extending farther posteriorly than pygofer
