description · Plazi

( Figs. 33 K–M, 53A–C) Diagnostic remarks. Among Mozambican katydids Melidia brunneri can be recognized by the prominently brown coloration of the stridulatory area of the tegmina ( Fig. 33L ), the unique shape of the male cerci ( Fig. 33K ), and the subgenital plate in both sexes with two widely separated narrow lobes; the ovipositor is about as long as of hind femur and its upper valvula is covered with a dense granulation ( Fig. 33M ). This species can be confused with members of the genus Parapyrrhicia Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1891 but in those the male cercus is quite different, and the apex of the ovipositor is blunt and strongly serrated. Bioacoustics. The call of M. brunneri consists of paired syllables produced at a few second intervals; mean syllable duration is 0.11103 s (SD=0.01495, n=11); the peak frequency of the call is 16.4–19.9 kHz ( Figs. 53 A–C). The call is audible from a few meters.
