Diagnostic description.— General characteristics as described above; all individuals collected so far macropterous. Stridulatory file of male 1.70-1.72 mm long, with 54- 58 teeth, maximum width of file 69-72 μm ( Fig. 40 A); teeth of file thick, peg-like, nearly uniformly arranged along entire length of file. Left (upper) mirror of stridulatory apparatus as in Fig. 1 F, at least 1.5 times longer than eye diameter. Fastigium of vertex about as wide as scapus, its sides slightly diverging towards apex. Outer ventral edge of hind femur unarmed. Male cercus as in Fig. 39 C; ovipositor short (ratio ovipositor/hind femur 0.56-0.64), straight ( Fig. 2 B). Coloration .— General coloration green but abdomen strikingly marked with dark brown and yellow longitudinal, parallel stripes on its dorsal surface; dark brown band on dorsal surface of head and pronotum bordered with thin, yellow stripes. Measurements .— Table 2 . Bioacoustics.— Typical of the genus, the call of C. magdalenae is high duty and low Q. It consists of a regular series of paired buzzes (pulse train groups) produced every 0.26- 0.96 s (avrg. 0.43± 0.18 s , n=26) at 34°C ( Fig. 51 C-D). Each pair lasts 0.44- 0.86 s (avrg. 0.68± 0.09 s , n=60). The first pulse train group in a pair is usually longer (avrg.0.34± 0.06 s , n=20) than the second one (avrg.0.27± 0.05 s , n=20). The audible part of the call has most of its energy allocated between 8 and 16 kHz.
