Literature

Cole, Jeffrey A. (2010). Clinal variation explains taxonomic discrepancy in the calling songs of shield-back katydids (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae: Tettigoniinae: Aglaothorax). Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 101(4): 910 - 921.

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.
