Bioacoustics of Habetia pilleata

Description. Coloration of face uniformly pale, marbled with light brown and yellowish; mandibles yellow, at base little darker, in apical area brown; labrum and lower area of maxillae brown. Femora with the following number of spines on ventral margins: (1) a 6, p 8; (2) a 7, p 3–4; (3) a 14–16, p 14–15. Male. Stridulatory file on underside of left tegmen 2.07 mm long with 89 teeth that are in sinuously curved basal area of file still rather large and preceded toward base by a row of tiny, indistinct dots, while at distal end, teeth becoming very dense and indistinct; over total file length with 43 teeth per mm; in central 1 mm of file with 37 teeth ( Fig. 18F ). Tenth abdominal tergite in basal half with dorsal surface faintly convex and with deeply sloping lateral margins, at base with three depressions, one in center and two laterally; apical half of tergite in dorsal view triangular with approaching lateral margins and with a moderately wide incision from apical margin for two thirds of the apical area; anteriorly of the incision is a short and narrow furrow; resulting lobes of tergite at end angularly rounded in dorsal view, but on underside forming an apical hood that is ventrally covered by membrane, has the internal surface flattened and the distal margin produced into a slight, rounded apical lobe ( Figs 10D, 10G ). Epiproct wider than long with obtusely rounded tip. Cerci narrow elongate and in apical area little curved; just before rounded tip with a strong and flattened projection with approaching lateral margins that at end is curved proximad and terminates into an acute tooth ( Figs 10G–H ). Subgenital plate with little more than apical third re-curved with tip pointing dorso-proximad; in ventral view, subgenital plate wide in basal area and deeply incised from basal margin with the incision bordered by strong carinae that are fused to become a flattened plate behind basal incision which divides shortly after into a pair of deviating carinae that, when the plate curves dorsad, are fused with the strengthened dorsal rim of the subgenital plate, thereafter the plate divides into a pair of narrow, deviating, apical lobes that are curved dorso-proximad and terminate into rounded-angular tips; the small styli insert little before end of upcurved underside of apical lobes ( Figs 10E–G ). Titillators fused, forming a ventro-posteriorly rounded duct or channel that is strongly curved around mid-length and open on dorso-proximal side; only very bases are free, roughly triangular with obtuse tips projecting disto-laterad; at apical end, the free dorso-proximal margins are oval, projecting proximad and diverging from each other, while the fused ventro-distal margin is projecting distad; both ends together form a plateau for a strong hyaline protuberance (in preparation with white content) that in apical view is oval, in lateral view becoming tubular and hyaline and terminates on both sides above the proximal ends of the sclerites into a hyaline spine ( Figs 15A–C ). There is also a pair of three-lamellar lateral sclerites. Female unknown. Measurements ( 1 male ).—Body w/wings: 46; body w/o wings: 40; pronotum: 9.5; tegmen: 33.5; hind femur: 24; anterior femur: 5.5 mm .
