Sixteen individuals were sampled, which presents: (1) the ventral region of all tibiae black, as well as the ventral region of the apical half of the femur III, (2) wide wings, with numerous black punctuations; (3) rhomboid fastigium of the vertex, much longer than wide, with a white apex, (4) apex of the fastigium of the vertex coloured as the rest of the body, with a black spot above the fastigium tooth, (5) quadrangular mirror, with all the margins slightly curved, lateral and medial margins much longer than the anterior and posterior margins.
Bioacoustics
(
Fig. 7E–H
): Males stridulated during the night, in a long sequence of echemes (superior to seven minutes), that appear in a crescendo of amplitude. When each echeme was analysed, several hemisyllables, also in a crescendo of amplitude, appear. We also highlight that this echemes was regularly spaced. As hemisyllables, sound is just produced by the closing stroke.
