MATING BEHAVIOR OFNEOCONOCEPHALUS ENSIGER(ORTHOPTERA: TETTIGONIIDAE) WITH NOTES ON THE CALLING SONG

Darryl T. Gwynne

Open publisher page 31 citations

Abstract

Abstract Neoconocephalus ensiger(Harris) mating is described from field observations. The sequence of mating events is presented along with a brief description of the physical parameters of the calling song. Mating differs from other tettigoniids in that the copulation time is longer and there is no external evidence of a spermatophore. The significance of these differences is discussed.
