Comments. Type species of the genus Salomona is S. marmorata (Blanchard,1846) by original monotypy. Stridulation. Readily audible to a human listener, this insect’s song recalls the regularity of a ticking clock and ‘ticker’ was its assigned field name. Silent intervals of several seconds (e.g., 4 s, Fig. 52A ) separated tick bouts, a dozen or so ticks per bout. There is a very stable tick period of about 300 ms ( Fig. 52B ). Forming the substructure of the ticks are trains of scarcely time-separated sinusoid amplitude fluctuations ( Fig. 52C, E ). Time separation of pulses in this species is far less distinct than that seen with Salomona ‘darth’. This appears to be a kind of subresonant stridulation, with teeth engaging at just below the repetition rates needed for sustained resonance. The spectrum, in keeping with the waveform is relatively low Q with a broad peak occupying much of the higher audio and centred near 13 kHz.
