Nope, not diadema ... it's either metae or sp. jenaro herrera. The reason for this is becuase diadema only has a spot on it's cheek, not a line going downwards. Colors and line length suggest sp. jenaro herrera, but would need better pics to really tell.
 
Your severum looks like an sp "atabapo" to me. They are normally light to almost olive colored with horizontal red lines on there belly. It should stay fairly light.

Nice collection of fish. Your tank looks great.
 
don't know about the acara but the severum looks like a atabapo, which is a sweet pick up. usually lighter in color from all the pics I seen.
 
I agree, definitely H. severus. Mine looks just like that. The orange/red rows of spots down the side and the dark outline under the eye (which will darken and lighten with mood) are a giveaway. Nice fish!
