Bioacoustics of Neoconocephalus vittatus

Redescription. Head: Conical in frontal view ( Figs. 15E, N , 16E ); fastigium of vertex semicircular in frontal view, slightly longer than scapus length, base three and a half times wider than scapus width, tooth weakly projected at basal portion of fastigium ( Figs. 15C, D, E, L, M, N , 16C, D, E ); fastigium of frons rounded ( Figs. 15E, N , 16E, N ). Thorax: Pronotum anterior margin almost straight and posterior margin convex ( Figs. 15D, M , 16D ); lateral lobe longer than wide, anterior margin of lateral lobe almost straight, followed by a curve with lower margin almost straight, margin of humeral sinus rounded, invagination of humeral sinus deeply concave ( Figs. 15C, L , 16C ). Wings: Tegmen with basal and apical region equally wide ( Figs. 15B, K , 16B ). Legs: Foreleg genicular lobe triangular, tympanum with two distinct regions: proximal one with a pair of open longitudinal slits and apical one with a small closed slit, tibia with six pairs of ventral spines; midleg genicular lobe triangular, tibia with seven pairs of ventral spines; hindleg femur ventrally with two inner spines and eight outer spines, tibia dorsally with 27 inner spines and 22 outer spines, tibia ventrally with 11 pairs of spines. Color : Type specimens, additional type ( holotype of N. spitzi ) and additional material mostly dark brown or brown; pronotum with light and dark longitudinal stripes; sometimes tegmen with black spots. Description of male. Tegmen : Stridulatory area well marked and long ( Figs. 15F , 16F ). Cercus : dorsal lobe with measuring half than length of lobe, ventral lobe two times longer than dorsal lobe ( Figs. 15G, H , 16G, H ). Description of female. Subgenital plate: Posterior margin in an open V-shaped with two triangular projections ( Figs. 15O ). Ovipositor: Almost reaching the tegmen apex ( Figs. 15K ). Measurements: Female holotype : BdL 25.2(25.0); FL 1.2; PdL 5.9(6.0); TegL 36.6(37.0); FlegL 5.1; HlegL 18.7(19.0); OvL 21.2(20.0).
