Literature

HELLER, KLAUS-GERHARD; Sevgili, Hasan (2005). Systematics and bioacoustics of the Poecilimon sanctipauli-group (Orthoptera: Tettigonioidea: Phaneropteridae). European Journal of Entomology, 102(2): 265 - 277.

Behaviour

In both subspecies the male calling song does not consist of isolated syllables as in the other three species, but of sequences of 25–120 syllables with a duration of 10–30 s (Fig. 6; rarely as short as 6 s; all data recorded at ca. 25°C). Each syllable has two parts, which are more equal in duration than in P. sanctipauli (Fig. 8) Correspondingly the bulge in the stridulatory file is situated near the middle (Fig. 5). Females respond acoustically to male song (see Heller et al., 2005 for details).
