Abstract:

Cyphoderris monstrosa Uhler, one of only 2 species of Prophalangopsidae in the United States, produces intense short trills at about 13 kilohertz at 25°C. Pulse rate averages 71.4 per second and trill duration ranges from 0.5 to 2.0 second. Males switch wings regularly while calling, a phenomenon not typical in Gryllidae and Tettigoniidae.
