Distribution. PHILIPPINES (Siargao Island; Misamis Oriental on Mindanao Island) Calling song (1J, 21.1±0.5°C) ( Fig. 36 ). The calling song is made up of echeme with variable number of discrete syllables; on average 13±3 syllables but ranges from 9 to 20 syllables. Consequently, each echeme has a duration of 5.08±1.26 s (3.08–8.27 s). The first few syllables tend to be of lower amplitudes; amplitude of syllable gradually increases to a maximum and stabilises. The average syllable duration is 51.3±3.5 ms (42.8–57.8 ms) and average interval between consecutive syllables is 375.6±5.7 ms (365.3–386.3 ms). The frequency spectrum is pure-tonal and forms a harmonic, with the energy peaking at the fundamental frequency. The dominant frequency is 5.53 kHz.

Remarks. This species was first described from Siargao Island ( Tan et al. , 2019b ). The male collected near Mt Sumagaya resembles the type in the overall colouration; FWs pale yellow with the apex having a broad black margin interrupted by two pale spots; the shape and white colouration of paraproct process white; and the genitalia having a pair of lobes of lateral valve folded dorsoventrally, forming a spiral at the apex. Here, we recorded and describe the calling song for the first time and add a locality record for this scaly cricket.
