Mecopoda confracta Liu, 2020

Recording: CHINA, Yunnan, Jin Ping , 23 viii 2013, leg. K-G Heller & Cx Liu (paratype CH7680, collected as nymph)

For comparison, we present oscillograms of the song of this Chinese species ( Figs. 8 , 9 ) in the same scale as the other species. The recorded male typically started to sing with isolated echemes, changed to a slow and irregular rhythm and switched ( Fig. 8 ) to the species-specific fast echeme repetition rate only after some minutes. For detailed data of the song of the species see Liu Cx et al. (2020).
