Bioacoustics of Brinckiella mauerbergerorum

Thorax. Lateral lobe of pronotum about twice as long as high; metazona flat, posterior edge of metazona broadly rounded ( Fig. 1 A.) Legs. Genicular lobes of front femur armed with two small spines on both sides. Mid femur unarmed ventrally, genicular lobes of mid femur armed with two small spines on both sides. Genicular lobes of hind femur unarmed. Wings. Stridulatory file flat, irregularly bent, 3.7 mm long, 0.25 mm wide, with 41 teeth ( Fig. 1 K.) Abdomen. Tenth tergite unmodified. Cercus slender, slightly sinusoidal; straight when seen from side; apex tapered, sharp ( Fig. 3 E); phallus mostly membranous, with central, inner lobes somewhat sclerotized and covered with minute teeth ( Fig. 3 A.) Subgenital plate broadly trapezoidal, with small, triangular apical incision; styli cylindrical, about twice as long as wide, parallel, separated by small gap and held horizontally. Female subgenital plate broadly trapezoidal, with wide, shallow apical incision ( Fig. 2 A.) Ovipositor. Ovipositor slightly curved, shorter than half of hind femur, dorsal edge of upper valvula parallel to lower valvula; apex pointed, with minute dentitions on both lower and upper valvulae ( Fig. 2 B.) Coloration. Coloration green, with variable markings ( Figs. 4 C–E), antennae concolorous; antennal scapus without markings. Face pale green; eyes uniformly colored. Pronotum green, with dark and light stripes on upper edge of lateral lobe, continuous with those on thorax and abdomen. Tegmen mostly dark brown, with costal area lighter than rest of wing. Legs with basal parts sometimes darker or lighter than distal parts; hind femur uniformly colored; abdominal sterna without markings; abdominal terga with horizontal dark and light stripes laterally, area between stripes sometimes lighter then rest of abdomen; subgenital plate without markings; ovipositor green.
