Discussion.
Only three specimens from
Romania
were available for comparison with a similar species from
Serbia and Montenegro
described below as
I. clara
sp. n.
In general morphology both species are very similar but the tegmina are little longer as compared to the pronotum in
I. modesta
than in the latter species and the female ovipositor is longer and less curved (compare
Figs 2
and
3
). The male cerci are nearly identical. Stridulatory file and stridulation were recently described by
Orci & Heller (2004)
. The length of the file and the number of stridulatory teeth are of diagnostic value to tell apart
I. modesta
from
I. clara
, although the number of teeth in the male from Mehadia is only 95 (
Tab. 3
) and thus quite lower than the number of 124 to 143 stridulatory teeth given by
Orci & Heller (2004)
for Hungarian and Transylvanian males. In
I. clara
from
Montenegro
and
Serbia
the number varies between 58 and 72. Measurements and some morphometrical data are summarised in
Tabs. 2–3
.
