On male genitalia, thecal pseudoparameres of aedeagus in dorsal position, originating closer to its apex than to its base, always much longer than theca. Claspers shorter than pseudoparameres, divergent, ending in a wide hooked spine in posterior part, and a smaller and shorter spine in anterior part (ice ax like). Song patterns. Male calling song ( Fig. 2 ) formed only by long echemes, repeated at a low rate. Echemes duration varies between 0.8 s to 1.1 s . Each echeme are separated by intervals lasting around 15 s. Echeme amplitude range covers frequency from 1.3 kHz to 1.7 kHz. The maximum of energy is contended at 1.5 kHz. Description of female ( Fig. 3 ) Head. Colouration similar to that of male (entirely green). Thorax. Colouration of pronotum and mesonotum similar to that of male (entirely green). Legs. Similar in colour to those of male (entirely green). Abdomen. Conic, not as inflated as male abdomen.

Counts are recordings at or below each taxon, so an empty branch shows as empty before you click it. A dash means the join view holds no column for that rank and cannot roll up to it.
