“…Thus, as reported for some other coleopterans (Finn et al 1972;Michael and Rudinsky 1972) O. rhinoceros was also capable of producing different kinds of stridulatory sound varying in intensity and duration, ranging from mild chirps detectable only at a very close range to loud chirps detectable at a distance of about 150em.…”

Ahstract. The coconut rhinoceros beetle Orycres rhinoceros produces different kinds of stridulatory sound under different conditions. Intense stridulations are made quite frequently by the male during courtship and mating attempts. Males also produce characteristic stridulations during aggressive encounters with other beetles, and distress stridulations, when disturbed manually. Females also stridulate, though less frequently. Sexually immature females produce feeble repellence stridulations while courted by males. Gravid females, when confined with males, are found to mimic the courtship and mating behaviour of the males, meanwhile producing intense stridulations resembling male courtship and mating stridulation. This behaviour, presumably has an ovipository motive and. to our knowledge, is the first instance of 'pseudomale' activity to be reported in insects.Stridulatory mechanism comprises rubbing of a specialised region along the margin of the apex of the elytron -the pars stridens, against a series of striations -the plectrum, occupying the dorsum of the 7th abdominal tergite, Stridulation is possible with a single pars stridens, either of the left or right elytron, both being identical. No sexually dimorphic difference is apparent in the pars stridens. Plectral structure exhibits sexual dimorphism, being much prominent in the male.Wing-locking is necessary to keep the elytra in the stridulatory position. locking is elTected by a longitudinal flange along the median side of one elytron (either the left or right, irrespective of the sex) fitting into a corresponding depression along the other. This differs from the reported cases in other coleopterans in which the flange of the left elytron extends under the right when locked.

Standardisation of bioacoustic terminology for insects

After reviewing the published literature on sound production in insects, a standardised terminology and controlled vocabularies have been created. This combined terminology has potential for use in automated identification systems, evolutionary studies, and other use cases where the synthesis of bioacoustic traits from the literature is required. An example implementation has been developed for the BioAcoustica platform. It is hoped that future development of controlled vocabularies will become a community effort.

“…Finally, the use of sounds does not necessarily require ears; if the sounds are intraspecifically defensive in nature then the organism emitting them does not need to hear them [e.g. the sounds of earless beetles (Finn et al ., 1972; Schmitt & Traue, 1990)].…”

Persistence and regression of hearing in the exclusively diurnal moths, Trichodezia albovittata (Geometridae) and Lycomorpha pholus (Arctiidae)

Abstract. 1. Auditory sensitivities and ultrasound avoidance behaviour of two exclusively diurnal moths were examined to test the prediction that total isolation from the predatory effects of echolocating bats will result in the regression of these sensory systems and/or the defences they evoke. 2. The silent geometrid, Trichodezia albovittata, possessed large ears with auditory neural thresholds similar to or better than those of a sympatric, exclusively nocturnal geometrid moth. Trichodezia albovittata readily responded with evasive flight to ultrasound and it is suggested that if this moth has become completely isolated from bats its ears are functionally vestigial, at least in the population studied here. 3. In contrast, while the sound‐producing arctiid, Lycomorpha pholus, had low auditory sensitivity based on neural thresholds, it still responded with flight changes to ultrasound. It did not, however, produce sounds when stimulated ultrasonically. It is suggested that the ears of this moth are functionally vestigial for bat‐detection purposes but may be used for short‐distance social communication.
