Ruspolia fuscopunctata ( Karny, 1907) View in CoL

[A] CH 4985 ♂

The specimen agrees in all measurements (length of pronotum, tegmen, hind femur, syllable repetition rate, number of stridulatory teeth) with the data given by Bailey for R. fuscopunctata .

The calling song showed a syllable repetition rate of 19 Hz (T= 22.5ºC) and was produced with a file (“crescentic” type; Bailey 1975) containing 115 teeth.

The mixed remainings of another three Ruspolia specimens ( CH 4971–3) from [C] could not be identified with certainty. Two of them belonged to specimens with files of the “crescentic” type (number of teeth ca. 80, 86) and may also be H. fuscopunctata , but could also be H. ruthae or H. ampla (see Bailey, 1975).
