My understanding...
Perfecto is is a general term to mean a cigar that is tapered at both ends.
Belicoso is a "Vitola de Salida". This is essentially how a particular cigar is actually labeled for sale. The actual size/shape of these is a Campana - which is the "Vitola de Galera" - or the generic name for the vitola (regardless of marca and how the cigar is actually named).
Usually, one Vitola de Galera may have many Vitolas de Salida. However, one Vitola de Salida usually is only used for cigars of a single Vitola de Galera.
Diademas and Solomones are Vitolas de Galera. The name is often used as the Vitola de Salida as well (e.g. Cuaba Solomones), but not always (e.g. Bolivar Armonia, which is in fact a Solomones)
For example, a BBF is a Campana. A SP Beli is a Campana. But a SCdlH La Punta is also a Campana.
BTW - if you see any of these terms used for NCs, forget about trying to predict anything about the cigar - they don't have any standards the way cubans do
