Bioacoustics of Aclodes pequegna

COMPLEMENT OF DESCRIPTION General morphology TIII serrulation lacking between subapical spurs 1 and 2 on both sides; on inner side, one spine in male, zero to one spine in female between isa2 and isa3, two to three spines in male, two spines in female between isa3 and isa4, six spines in male, five to six spines in female above isa4; on outer side, zero to one spine in male, no spine in female between osa1 and osa2, two spines in male, one spine in female between osa2 and osa3, three spines in male, two to three spines in female between osa3 and osa4, 12-13 spines in male, six to seven spines in female above osa4. Barsitarsomeres III serrulation: zero to two inner spines in male, no inner spine in female; two outer spines in male, one to two outer spines in female, in addition to apical spines.

Pronotum and FWs as on Fig. 20B, C : most lateral yellow line of vertex wider than the median one and extending on DD lateral margins. Male FWs ( Fig. 20B, C ) reaching tergite 6. Male genitalia As on Fig. 20 D-F (compare with Desutter-Grandcolas 1992b Fig. 25 ). Female Distance between FWs longer than FW width, but shorter than FW length. Measurements (in mm) See Table 13 . Variation The Mitaraka specimens are larger than the specimens originating from the type locality. They fit however the description of A. pequegna , with the following variation: FW venation ( Fig. 20B, C ) with two main veins in the harp, and six shorter ones (five in total in type material); stridulatory file with 282 teeth ( 304 in dissected paratype ); lateral field with five longitudinal parallel veins (four in type material). In the male at hand, the genitalia are somewhat longer and more narrow than type genitalia; the posterior projection of pseudepiphallic distal margin is slightly more narrow and longer than in the Nourague material, and in lateral view, dorsal margin of pseudepiphallic lophi is less angulate ( Fig. 20 D-F).
