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 ( Fig. 10F View FIGURE 10 ) consists of long series of echemes (ERR 0.3 Hz; as song type C 1 in Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 ). An echeme has 48 syllables which are repeated at a rate of 26 Hz (all data for 21ºC).

Genitalia. The titillator is very massive with long basal parts ( Fig. 11B View FIGURE 11 ). Its main part is nearly as wide as long, a little narrowed at base and showing a broad and flat or broadly rounded tip. Also the lateral sclerites are well-developed. The titillator of our specimen agrees very well with that of the neotype ( Fig. 11C View FIGURE 11 ).
