In Atlanticus gibbosus Scudder the wing-cycle rate during stridulation is a linear function of temperature: ŷ = 1.35 T — 9.56 (T = °C; r2 = .99). In A. dorsalis (Burmeister) the tooth-strike rate during stridulation can be described approximately as either a linear or an exponential function of temperature: ŷ = 33.55 T — 268.32 (r2 = .96) or Ln ŷ = .065 T + 4.523 (r2 = .96). Humidity and aging had statistically significant but ecologically unimportant effects on stridulatory rates. In A. gibbosus the wing-cycle rate at low humidities (25±5% RH) was reduced to the extent expected from 0.7°C evaporative cooling. In A. dorsalis aging beyond ecological life expectancy caused an increase in tooth-strike rate and the occurrence of gaps in the tooth-strike sequence.

Stridulating Uhler's katydids produce the most complex song known for insects. Series of four types of sounds are made in stereotyped sequence. Sound-synchronized high-speed photography reveals that each type of sound is produced by a distinctively different wing-movement cycle. The most complex of these cycles includes a two-step closure and a nearly silent close-open movement.

Bucrates weissmani n.sp. is known from four localities in southern Arizona. It is smaller and more slender than the other four species of Bucrates, making it superficially similar to the Central American copiphorine Caulopsis cuspidata, but more fundamental features refute the notion that it belongs in Caulopsis rather than Bucrates. Four other species of Bucrates are known. Two of these, capitatus (De Geer) and clausus (Scudder), occur in sympatry in Central America and tropical South America; lanista Rehn is known only from southern Brazil; and malivolans (Scudder) is restricted to the southeastern United States. All are easily distinguished morphologically and, for the three for which the songs are known, by their songs. Unlike the two other species of Bucrates for which the habitat is known, B. weissmani occurs on altitudinal islands at the edge of a desert. The calling song of B. weissmani resembles that of numerous species of Neoconocephalus, whereas the songs of B. malivolans and B. capitatus, resemble each other more than either song resembles that of B. weissmani.
