Flying song
Not observed.
Calling song
It consists of two parts. The first part comprises brief echemmes with 32 ± 13.2 (15–51) syllables, lasting 0.17 ± 0.08 (0.067 –0.261) seconds. This part resembles some very ‘sharp’ clicks. The second part is formed by a long echemme that can last about 4.34 ± 0.91 (3.2– 5.3) seconds. This signal part has approximately 266 ± 49.4 (228–334) syllables, with a note emission rate of 152 ± 32.4 (116–195) per second.
Stress call
Comprised of a series of short echemmes lasting about 0.16 ± 0.01 (0.138 –0.166) seconds, emitting 14.3 ± 3.3 (12–21) syllables. It’s a high-pitched sound, and the frequency values are not as evident as in other cicadas. The frequency value is not presented in broad-range frequency as in the others; it ranges between 12 and 13 kHz, even though the values of 12.7 ± 0.25 (12.4–13.1) kHz are sampled.
Collection site
Parque Natural Municipal Saint-Hilaire. The cicada sings in open regions near the forest edge. It was collected on 27 October 2021, at 26°C, at 11 am. It was observed producing sounds in bushes, approximately 0.25 metres from the ground. Additionally, it was observed producing sounds in bushes, approximately 0.25 metres from the ground. Additionally, it produced signals near the Tympanoterpes sp. ( Figures 3A–B View Figure 3 and 5C View Figure 5 ).
Remarks
We are waiting for future taxonomic studies to confirm the identification at the species level.
