Eurycorypha pseudomeruensis View in CoL ( Figs. 3 View Fig , 4b View Fig , and 5 View Fig )

As in E. meruensis , the calling song consisted of long (30– 60 s) series of short elements with intervals of around 1–2 s in between ( Fig. 4b View Fig ). Mostly a series contained groups containing two different echeme types, more rarely also simple echemes. In the echeme group, first a very short crescendoing group of two (1–3) relatively long syllables (duration of last and longest syllable, 24.8 ± 3.9 ms; n = 21 (7 in 3 males each); T = 26–8 °C) was heard ( Fig. 5 View Fig ), after a gap of 55 ± 13 ms followed by an echeme containing three to six short syllables (duration, 6.8 ± 3.0 ms; SRR, 45 Hz) .

In one test, a female was placed in a cage together with two males. In the recording, sound impulses could be detected which may represent female responses at 294 ± 33 ms (n = 6) after the beginning of simple echemes in the male song (containing only the first part of an echeme group).
