Hyperophora gracilis

Fig. 10E
Distribution:
Brazil
:
Paraná
; Paraguay: Paraguari.
New record for
Brazil
and for the
Paraná State
.
Comments:
This is the first record of the species after its original description. The type-locality is located less than
300 km
away from the ParNa Iguaçu, where only one individual was collected. Considering the number of individuals of
H. brasiliensis
collected at ParNa Iguaçu,
H. gracilis
can be considered rare. As in
H. brasiliensis
, the male was stridulating on shrubs of the forest understory, at heights greater than two meters.
Bioacoustics
(
Fig. 11F–H
): This song is described based on the stridulation of a single male, that produced echeme sequences with long duration (
ca.
15 minutes). Each echeme is composed by four to seven syllables. The echemes have a duration of more than three hours, so we were not able to rightly determine the duration.
Dominant frequency
: 14.8 ± 0.8 kHz.

: 5.1 ± 1.5 kHz.
Duration
: Syllable: 0.03 ±
