Cyphoderris monstrosa

Immediately after sunset the males began to sing, a faint elusive note repeated much like that of Scudderia but far less harsh and of a decidely higher pitch, in timbre suggesting that of Oecanthus. This song continued only until the evening chill (decided in this environment) commenced. So ventriloquistic was the song and so numerous the singers that indivudals were exceedingly difficult to locate and but one specimen was taken at that time, stridulating on the ground and becoming silent when approached, but not moving except to draw up its legs closely and roll over.
