Calyria fenestrata
(
Fabricius, 1803
)
new record
Tettigonia fenestrata
Fabricius 1803: 43
.
(South America)
REMARKS.—This species was previously known from a specimen collected in an unknown locality in South America (
Fabricius 1803
). Berger provided specimens for determination from the Estacion Cientifica San Francisco,
Zamora-Chinchipe Province
, and these represent the first known locality for the species. The lack of an apical spot on the fore wing and the ferruginous body coloration distinguishes this species from the other
Calyria
species in
Ecuador
.
Berger (2001)
reported the species in low, shrubby, open vegetation between
1850 m
and
1900 m
elevation. The species avoided the forest and was allows active in full sunshine (
Berger 2001
). The song is reported to be a series of short syllables between 25–36 ms duration separated by interpulse intervals of about 67 ms with a peak frequency between 9–10 kHz (
Berger 2001
)
DISTRIBUTION.—The species has been reported previously only from South America without any more specific information on locality provided (
Metcalf 1963c
). These specimens represent the first known locality for the species.
