Aglaothorax ovata gigantea
Behaviour:
Specimens could be heard at night in July...
Males stridulate with a loud zwick (Fig 37A). This race has the loudest call of any of the subspecies heard by the authors. The call can easily be heard from a moving automobile. Stridulation usually ceased by midnight as the coolness of night approached.[1]
