Nisitrus vittatus (Haan, 1844)

E-H
Remarks.-
This species was found abundantly around the station at the forest edge. During the day, the males can be heard calling on plant foliage. We also observed them feeding on flowers (
Tan et al. 2017b
). We compared this species with other congeners from Malay Peninsula and Borneo with help from T. Robillard. Tentatively, we considered the specimens from Kuala Belalong as
Nisitrus vittatus
, which can also be found in Malay Peninsula and Sumatra (
Robillard and Tan 2013
). There are some minor differences in acoustic and morphological characters between our Bornean specimens and those from other parts of Southeast Asia. We need more material from Borneo to better understand the species.
