Character Gender Neduba Agalothorax Phymonotus
* Character states unique to Phymonotus .
Etymology. The genus name Phymonotus is the Greek prefix “ phymo ” for swollen, and the Greek suffix “ notum ” in recognition of the unusually enlarged, dome-shaped pronotum. The species name jacintotopos is composed of “ Jacinto ” for the Spanish name of the San Jacinto Mountains, and the Greek suffix “ topos ” for place, recognizing the San Jacinto Mountains, where the genus and species are endemic. Pronounced in English “haw-sintoe-toe-pose.” We recommend the common name: “San Jacinto shield-backed katydid.”

Measurements. See Table 2 View TABLE 2 for values of all morphological characters measured, including the minimum, maximum and average, for both males and females. See Appendix 1 for an illustrate guide as to where measurements were taken on specimens.
Karyotype ( Fig 7 View FIGURE 7 ). 2n3 =24(22t + XtYt), consisting of 11 pairs of medium to small telocentric autosomes, a very large telocentric X chromosome and a small telocentric Y chromosome ( Figs 7 View FIGURE 7 a [idiogram], b [mitosis]). First metaphase shows 11 autosomal bivalents and a consistently associated large X and small Y ( Fig 7 View FIGURE 7 c), and at first anaphase with 11 autosome halves with X at top pole and 11 autosome halves and Y at the bottom pole ( Fig 7 View FIGURE 7 d). Seven males analyzed.
Calling song ( Fig 8 View FIGURE 8 ). The calling song of P. jacintotopos consists of single “swick” pulses with intervals of between 0.8 and 1.0 seconds between pulses at temperatures of 23–25 C ( Fig 8 View FIGURE 8 a). In the field these swicks are usually delivered much more slowly since the ambient temperature is much lower. Fig 8 View FIGURE 8 b displays a 40X magnification of the 5th pulse showing 9 units, which probably represent individual tooth strikes. These tooth strikes are produced at an average rate of 286 per second. The number of units in the 8 swicks shown in Fig 8 View FIGURE 8 ranged from 7 to 10 with unit rates varying from 231 to 286 per second. If these units are tooth strikes, that is surprisingly few teeth used considering that males average 91 teeth in the file ( Table 2 View TABLE 2 ). We believe that a combination of pronotal shape and “broadcasting properties,” combined with infrequent pulses, results in singing males being extremely difficult to triangulate in the field.
Natural history. P. jacintotopos appears to have one generation per year with adults known from August through January. Phymonotus appears to be arboreal and closely associated with conifer trees, especially Jeffery ( Pinus jefferyi ) and Ponderosa ( Pinus ponderosa ) pines in montane mixed-conifer forests composed of Jeffery and ponderosa pine, white fir ( Abies concolor ) and incense cedar ( Libocedrus decurrens ). The body coloration and patterns of Phymonotus provides camouflage on the bark of Jeffery pine ( Fig 1 View FIGURE 1 ) and other conifer trees. The type series was collected mainly from ground covering Vinca (periwinkle) in a landscaped residential yard beneath a Jeffery pine forest over-story. During a second visit to the type locality, many individuals were heard calling from the pine trees, and none were found near the ground. In natural situations individuals have been found almost exclusively in tree canopies and on tree trunks high above the ground where their mottled dark reddish-brown coloration provides good camouflage. The stout, toothed ovipositor of the female may be used to oviposit into bark, as Rentz and Birchim (1968) suggest for Neduba and Agalothorax . E. R. Tinkham (field notes) kept live adults in captivity and noted that they readily fed on the needles of both Jeffery and ponderosa pine, and on the foliage of incense cedar. P. jacintotopos appears to be adapted to cool temperatures as males have been heard calling on cold nights, and have been collected in early January while snow was on the ground and ambient temperatures near freezing (E. R. Tinkham, field notes). Males may also call during the day late in the season when night temperatures are apparently too cold. We found P. jacintotopos to be common in Fern Valley, where many individual males could be heard calling from trees at night.
Phymonotus View in CoL males may produce thoracic gland secretions ( Gwynne 2001) as a nuptial meal for females prior to and during mating. D. C. F. Rentz (personal communication April, 2011) informed us that E. R. Tinkham reported to him that males produced a fluid from under the tegmina during courtship, and that females fed upon the fluid prior to mating. We did not observe courtship, mating, or thoracic gland secretions in Phymonotus View in CoL , but we did find evidence of dried fluid on the dorsal postnotal segment and first abdominal tergite of many pinned male specimens. We did not find any evidence of visible gland openings, but the dorsal postnotal segment of Phymonotus View in CoL males does possess shallow lateral depressions that may serve to retain fluid. Thoracic gland secretions might be extruded from membranes under the dorsal postnotal segment. Such thoracic gland secretions are known to be secreted from the metanotal gland by male tree crickets ( Oecanthus ) ( Walker and Gurney 1967), and the secretions are known to increase insemination and to extend the reproductive life-span of female black-horned tree crickets ( Oecanthus nigricornis F. Walker ) ( Brown 1997). We did not find evidence that females chew on the male wings, also an indication of nuptial meals offered by male hump-winged crickets ( Cyphoderris View in CoL ) to females during courtship and mating ( Gwynne 2001). Examination of numerous pinned specimens of Agalothorax View in CoL and Neduba View in CoL males revealed no indication of dried thoracic gland secretions as found in Phymonotus View in CoL , but both genera do possess the same lateral depressions in the dorsal postnotal segment as we found in Phymonotus View in CoL . Further research should be conducted to determine the presence and nature of thoracic gland secretions in Phymonotus View in CoL , a feature unknown in any other Nedubini View in CoL or Tettigoniini View in CoL world-wide.
Distribution. Phymonotus is known only from the San Jacinto Mountains, Riverside County, California ( Fig 3 View FIGURE 3 ). Phymonotus has been found only in the Fern Valley and Boulder Basin Campground areas on the west side of the San Jacinto Mountains near the town of Idyllwild, from approximately 1,500 m to 2,500 m elevation. Despite extensive field surveys by us in the nearby San Bernardino, San Gabriel, and Tehachapi Mountains, which also support conifer forests and related Agalothorax and Neduba species, no Phymonotus were heard. Other related Agalothorax and Neduba taxa occur throughout southern California at lower elevations in chaparral, pinyon/juniper woodland and desert shrub, especially on Joshua tree ( Yucca brevicauda ).
