Bioacoustics of Copiphora ottei

Diagnostic description.— Body small compared to other members of the genus, with wings in both sexes extending beyond apex of abdomen by only about 1/4 of their length ( Fig. 9 A). Fastigium of vertex forming small, trituberculate horn, with lateral ocelli situated on conspicuous lateral protuberances; fastigium about as long as eye diameter; dorsal part of fastigium smooth or with two rows of poorly developed, small tubercles ( Fig. 9 C). Face flat; genal carinae of head well developed, granulose. Pronotum smooth, flat dorsally; anterior dorsal margin straight to weakly concave, posterior one weakly convex; lateral lobe of pronotum about 1.8 times longer than high. Male stridulatory file nearly straight, 2.3 mm long, 223 μm wide, with 214 thin, wide, and evenly distributed teeth ( Fig. 42 F); mirror nearly circular; small, parallel vein next to AA 1 reduced to hardly discernible fold. Ventral spines of femora relatively short and thin, green; all genicular lobes, except for posterior lobe of fore femora , armed with sharp spines. Male cercus thick (although not as much as in other species of the genus), blunt, and distinctly incurved; ventral, subapical spine of cercus long, blunt apically ( Fig. 9 D). Male subgenital plate weakly narrowed toward apex, apex weakly emarginated; styli short, about 3 times as long as wide. Female subgenital plate approximately triangular, with minute, triangular apical incision. Ovipositor long, straight, ratio ovipositor/hind femur 1.4-1.6 ( Fig. 9 ). Coloration .— General coloration light olive green. Fastigium of vertex, face and mouthparts yellowish-orange to pinkish-brown, face often with 4 or 6 small, dark dots ( Fig. 9 B). Pronotum brown to dark olive green. Tegmina green, with conspicuous yellow venation; edges of tegmina red, especially in their apical portions; male stridulatory file green; legs brown, with green femoral spines; hind femora usually with well developed reticulate pattern on their outer surfaces. Abdomen green. Measurements .— Table 4 . Bioacoustics.— Call unknown.
