Literature

Ragge, D. R. (1990). The songs of the western European bush-crickets of the genus Platycleis in relation to their taxonomy (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae). Bulletin of the British Museum (Natural History) Entomology, 59(1): 1-35.

Behaviour

The calling song, produced mainly in the evening and at night, consists of long sequences of disyllabic echemes repeated fairly regularly at the rate of about 2-3/s. Oscillographic analysis shows that opening hemisyllables are usually absent and that the closing hemisyllables usually last about 40-90 ms, the second of each pair often being a little longer, and sometimes louder, than the first. The duration of each echeme is about 130-180 ms and the interval between two echemes is about 140-250 ms. Microsyllables are usually absent.
