Bioacoustics. Tegmina ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 ), stridulatory file ( Table 1 View TABLE 1 ), and spectrum of the song ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 ) do not show large differences to the typical Hetrodini View in CoL pattern. The calling song consists of a long, uninterrupted trill (song type A) with a SRR of about 28 Hz ( Fig. 10E View FIGURE 10 ; see Table 2 View TABLE 2 ).

Genitalia. The titillator is relatively large and massive with short basal parts and a slightly bifurcate tip ( Fig. 11A View FIGURE 11 ). The lateral sclerites are weakly developed.

Chro mosomes: 2n = 17 (16 + X0), FN = 28; pairs 1–5 meta/submetacentric, 6–8 acrocentric, X chromosome submetacentric (2 males); thin C-positive paracentromeric bands in all chromosomes and an interstitial one on the pair 2 ( Fig. 12I View FIGURE 12 ).
