Bland, R. G. (1985). Field Behavior And Sound Production By The Grasshopper Sphingonotus rubescens (Orthoptera, Acrididae) On Tenerife, Canary Islands. Entomological News, 96: 37-42.
Males and females of the oedipodine grasshopper Sphingonotus rubescens crepitate by producing a click-buzz sound. Males have 3 types of stridulation: (1 and 2) a common whistkle-click combination lasting less than 1 sec and often followed by a hop-turn or very short flight, and (3) a bussing lasting ca. 1.2 sec when 2 or more males are less than 1m apart. Male courtship behviour is described.
