Biology, sounds and vibratory signals of hooded katydids (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae: Phyllophorinae)

Abstract: The tettigoniid subfamily Phyllophorinae, distributed in Southeast Asia and Australia, is poorly known. Our study of the biology of Giant Katydid Siliquofera grandis (Blanchard, 1853) from a laboratory culture has shown that these insects mate more than once, the females lay a total of up to 400 eggs during their life, and these hatch after 2–2.5 months. The life cycle from egg to death takes longer than one year. In the laboratory, the insects fed mainly on leaves of various Rosaceae, Ficus, and lettuce, and … Show more

“…The function of post-copulation vibratory signals appears to be to prevent the premature removal of the spermatophore by the female. Similar, extremely high-amplitude signals were described by us in the giant katydids Siliquofera grandis (Korsunovskaya et al, 2020).…”

“…This type of signal is widespread throughout the acoustically active orthopterans. It is, for example, known among the katydid subfamily Conocephalinae (see, for example, Benediktov, 2014), many Pseudophyllinae (e. g. Morris et al, 1994; Barrientos-Lozano et al, 2020), Phyllophorinae (Korsunovskaya et al, 2020). In N. nigrispina , these signals have a clear rhythmic pattern; they are emitted by both males and females.…”

“…Function of post-copulation vibratory signals appears to result in prevention of premature removal of a spermatophore by a female. Similar, extremely high-amplitude signals were described by us for the giant katydids Siliquofera grandis ( Korsunovskaya et al, 2020 ). Of particular interest is the presence of two types of audible calling signals in species of the genus Nesoecia : with fast and slow rhythms ( Barrientos-Lozano et al, 2020 , current article).…”

“…Which sex approaches may depend on the size of the nuptial gift the female receives (McCartney et al, 2012) or on the balance of risks incurred by moving (e.g. predation) for each sex (von Helversen et al, 2012) Stationary female system is common; in these species the male usually only performs phonotaxis if female response falls into narrow time-window after his song See review by Heller et al (2015) Male aggressive song (Spooner, 1964) 'Ticking' song that may function as territorial song (Spooner, 1968) Tettigoniidae: Phyllophorinae Males of Siliquofera grandis do not have a calling song; the same may apply to other species (Korsunovskaya et al, 2020) Courtship song Courtship vibrational signals by both males and females Post-copulation vibrational signal Territorial vibrational signal Tettigoniidae: Tettigoniinae Territorial song Courtship song See Zhantiev and Korsunovskaya (2019) Tettigoniidae: Zaprochilinae The male's calling song may also serve to repel other males (Simmons and Bailey, 1993) Orthopteran group Mating system (all involve male calling song to which silent female performs phonotaxis unless otherwise stated)…”
