New data on vibrational calling signals of Fulgoroidea (Homoptera: Auchenorrhyncha) from the Asian part of Palaearctic with new records of three species of Cixiidae

Abstract

Calling signals of three species of Delphacidae (Kelisiinae and Delphacinae), 13 species of Cixiidae, one species of Meenoplidae, two species of Dictyopharidae (Dictyopharinae and Orgeriinae), and two species of Caliscelidae from the Asian part of Palaearctic are described and illustrated by oscillograms and sonograms. Species of Cixiidae, Meenoplidae, and Dictyopharidae produce simple calling signals consisting of uniform short pulses; in Delphacidae and Caliscelidae signals have much more complex temporal and frequency pattern. Signal recordings of Cixius sibiricus, C. granulatus, and Reptalus narynensis were made far outside their known ranges; for these species drawings of male genitalia of specimens from new localities are given. РЕЗЮМЕ. Описаны призывные сигналы 3 видов Delphacidae (Kelisiinae и Delphacinae), 13 видов Cixiidae, 1 вида Meenoplidae, 2 видов Dictyopharidae (Dictyopharinae и Orgeriinae) и 2 видов Caliscelidae из азиатской части Палеарктики, приведены их осциллограммы и сонограммы. Представители Cixiidae, Meenoplidae и Dictyopharidae издают сигналы со сравнительно простым временным рисунком, состоящие из коротких однотипных пульсов; сигналы Delphacidae и Caliscelidae имеют гораздо более сложную временную и частотную структуру. Записи сигналов Cixius sibiricus, C. granulatus и Reptalus narynensis были сделаны в точках, лежащих за пределами их известных ареалов; для этих видов приведены рисунки гениталий самцов из новых местонахождений.

A taxonomy based on acoustic features of some Iranian cicadas and calling song description ofChloropsalta smaragdulaHaupt, 1920 (Hem: Cicadidae) from Isfahan, Iran

“…Calling and courtship songs are important for mate recognition and necessary for a successful reproduction (Claridge 1985;Marshall and Cooley 2000;Sueur and Aubin 2003;Tishechkin 2003). "Rivalry signals" are produced in cicada male-male interactions at close quarters to maintain distance among competing males (Popov 1975;Cocroft and Pogue 1996;Tishechkin 2003). In some species males produce "distress signals" in dangerous situations, e.g.…”

“…In some species males produce "distress signals" in dangerous situations, e.g. when stressed by predators (Tishechkin 2003). Females are silent, but some species generate short wing clicks as an acceptance signal (Cooley and Marshall 2001).…”

“…In many species singing males switch from calling song to "courtship signal" as soon as the female joins the male before mating (Lei et al 1994;Chou et al 1997;Cooley and Marshall 2001). Calling and courtship songs are important for mate recognition and necessary for a successful reproduction (Claridge 1985;Marshall and Cooley 2000;Sueur and Aubin 2003;Tishechkin 2003). "Rivalry signals" are produced in cicada male-male interactions at close quarters to maintain distance among competing males (Popov 1975;Cocroft and Pogue 1996;Tishechkin 2003).…”

“…(e.g. Dugdale and Fleming, 1978;Clardige 1985;Tishechkin 2003;Gogala and Trilar 2004;Quartau and Simões, 2006;Puissant and Sueur, 2010;Marshall et al 2011). Therefore, song parameters can be used for species differentiation and description, showing remarkable differences even among closely related species (e.g.…”

Contributions to the study of vibrational signals of Palearctic Cicadellidae (Homoptera: Auchenorrhyncha) – new recordings of interesting or rare species with notes on their taxonomy, biology and distribution

“…The main results of the study of signals of small Auchenorrhyncha of Russia and adjacent territories were published in early 2000s [Tishechkin, , 2001[Tishechkin, , 2003a; these four articles include signal descriptions of more than 250 species. Later we published some additional data on signals of Fulgoroidea [Tishechkin, 2008[Tishechkin, , 2016 and Cicadellidae . Also, signal oscillograms and sonograms (dynamic spectrograms) of a number of species can be found in Tishechkin and Burlak [2013], but they do not give a complete picture of the signal structure.…”
