PORTO SANTO ISLAND - ♂: BL=17.34 mm (n=1); EL=13.28 mm (n=1); HW=2.00 mm (n=1); FL=7.03 mm (n=1).</p><p>Sounds. -</p><p>The song of the species consists of continuous long echemes without gap, as has been already mentioned (Gorochov 1993, Cordeo et al. 2009) as a conspecific song trait (Fig. 3C).</p><p>Notes. -</p><p>Oecanthus dulcisonans is primarily distinguished from O. pellucens by the shape of the metasternal plate. In the specimens of O. dulcisonans, this plate is longer and thinner than the metasternal plate of O. pellucens (Fig. 2A, D-F). In terms of size, the specimen from Porto Santo measured 17.34 mm in body length, slightly exceeding the 14.00-17.00 mm reported for this species in other works (Gorochov 1993, Cordero et al. 2009, Braud et al. 2015, Reitmeier 2018). However, specimens from Madeira, both male and female, fall within the size range. In contrast, some measurements differ from previous publications. For example, the mean length of the hind femur was 7.98 ± 0.50 mm for males from Madeira and 7.03 mm for the male from Porto Santo, deviating from the 8.70-10.00 mm range reported in other studies (Gorochov 1993, Cordero et al. 2009). Additionally, the mean length of the protruding wing was 2.59 ± 0.32 mm for specimens from Madeira and 2.00 mm for those from Porto Santo, which is less than the 3.00-4.00 mm reported in other studies (Braud et al. 2015, Reitmeier 2018) (Table 1). Notably, the mean length of the oviscape in females exceeded the value reported by Braud et al. (2015). The specimen from Porto Santo was discovered stridulating on a stem within a one-meter-high patch of spontaneous herbaceous vegetation, predominantly characterized by Hyparrhenia hirta E. Fourn. This habitat was located between buildings (Fig. 4A). Several individuals were also heard during the night along the southwest coast of Porto Santo in the vicinity of Praia do Zimbralinho, Cabeço da Ponta, and Campo de Baixo (Fig. 1). Similarly, specimens from Madeira were observed stridulating on stems in patches dominated by H. hirta, on Ponta de São Lourenço and Reis Magos, with the presence of plant species such as Euphorbia piscatoria Aiton, Echium nervosum Dryand., and the invasive Opuntia tuna (L.) Mill. on Reis Magos (Fig. 4B). Several individuals were also heard at night in Garajau and Porto Novo.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/9DDAF5B02EF15BD0970BA3D983F35A03	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Soraya leg.; on: Rumex maderensis Lowe; UMACI .</p><p>Measurements. -</p><p>MADEIRA ISLAND - ♂: BL=12.98 ± 0.11 mm (n=2); EL=10.93 ± 0.37 mm (n=4); HW=1.23 ± 0.37 mm (n=4); FL=7.93 ± 0.57 mm (n=4).</p><p>Sounds. -</p><p>Regular gaps occur between each echeme in songs, which is also shown in Cordeo et al. (2009). The echeme repetition rate (the number of echeme per second) is approximately 1.0/s (Fig. 3D), which resembles the 1.0-1.5/s between 20°C and 25°C reported by Ragge and Reynolds (1998).</p><p>Notes. -</p><p>The mean elytra length measurements of the males, averaging 10.93 ± 0.37 mm, align with the reported range of 9.00-11.00 mm provided by Braud et al. (2015). Additionally, the mean length of the protruding part of the inner wings, a key feature for distinguishing this species from O. dulcisonans, measured 1.23 ± 0.37 mm, surpassing the one millimeter reported by Reitmeier (2018) and Braud et al. (2015). Similarly, the mean length of the posterior femur, measuring 7.93 ± 0.57 mm, exceeded the values reported by Cordero et al. (2009). The specimens from Ponta do Pargo were discovered stridulating on a stem within a one-meter-high patch of Hyparrhenia hirta E. Fourn. near a lighthouse. We also captured a nymph amid the endemic Rumex maderensis Lowe, where some adults of the species were also heard. Previous records of O. pellucens report this species from five of the ten municipalities of Madeira Island: Ribeira Brava (GBIF 2022), Funchal (Chopard 1938, GBIF 2022), Porto Moniz (GBIF 2022), Santana (Chopard 1938), and Câmara de Lobos (Lange 1990). These records are scattered across several institutions abroad, and most of them predate the description of O. dulcisonans in 1993. Others consist of online photographic records in which the main distinguishing character between the two species, the metasternal plate, is not visible. Since validating these records is challenging, the specimens documented in this paper represent the only valid first-hand data for this species on the Madeira archipelago. No specimens of O. pellucens were found on Porto Santo Island.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/198FF649A2B155CD8E7428D37D5528E8	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
