REMARKS. Calling signals of four species of the genus Macrosteles Fieber, 1866 from European Russia and two morphologically similar forms of Macrosteles fascifrons (Stål, 1858) from North America were previously described [ Purcell, Loher, 1976 ; Tishechkin, 2000 ]. Judging by these data, calling signals in representatives of this genus are characterized by great diversity and, as a rule, a complex temporal pattern, and are often completely dissimilar in different species. A remarkable feature of signals of M. fieberi is a combination of pure-tone and noise components.

SIGNALS. The male calling signal is a phrase consisting of two or three different pulse sequences ( Figs 42–45 ). The duration of the first sequence is 1.5– 3.0 s , the pulse repetition period in it is about 120–150 ms; the pulse temporal pattern is very variable ( Fig. 46 , the beginning of the oscillogram). Sometimes this sequence is reduced to a few pulses or is absent. The duration of the second sequence is about 0.8– 1.2 s ; it consists of pure-tone pulses following each other with a period of 39–41 ms ( Figs 46–48 ). The duration of the third sequence is 1.8– 2.7 s ; it consists of pulses with a noise frequency spectrum, following each other with a period of 31–36 ms ( Figs 47, 49 ). The total duration of a phrase consisting of three parts is 5.0– 6.7 s . If the first part of the phrase is missing, it is reduced to 2.5– 4.0 s .
