description · Plazi
Stridulatory file. (n=3) length 4.50–4.70 mm , 88–102 teeth, tooth density 20.6±1.4 (19.6–22.2) teeth/mm. Song. (n=27). Pulse trains 40±10 ms in length repeat at a rate of 9.6± 1.0 s- 1. Mean peak frequency is 13.98±2.30 kHz, with peak frequencies as high as 17.54 kHz in high frequency recordings. Echemes contain 2–5 pulse trains, with 1–3 (mean 1.65±0.60) s silent intervals between echemes. Karyotype. (n=3) 2n ♂ =23 ( 22t +Xt), S82-75, T82-149 , 150 , 163 . Recognition. Morphology, karyotype. Body usually green (may be tan at lower elevations), abdomen with longitudinal dorsal red stripe; body is wood brown without a dorsal abdominal stripe in A. gurneyi and usually tan in A. armiger . Black streaks present on the center of the pronotal disk, which are commonly limited to the periphery of the disk in A. armiger . Pronotum without white stripes as in A. ovatus . Male paraproct process with subapical ventrally directed tooth, unlike the apical, mesally directed tooth of A. segnis and A. strobilion . Male pronotum is not heavily rugose as in A. giganteus and A. tinkhamorum .
