“…Such signals have been described in other planthoppers (de Vrijer 1984, Heady and Denno 1991, Gillham and de Vrijer 1995, VirantDoberlet and Ž ežlina 2007 and leafhoppers (Shaw et al 1974, Inoue 1982. Although the structure of male syllables shows some similarities among types, different types were emitted in a stereotyped behavioral sequence, and each type was associated with a speciÞc stage indicating that even relatively subtle differences can convey behaviorally relevant information.…”

The mating behavior of Hyalesthes obsoletus Signoret (Hemiptera: Cixiidae) was studied to determine the role of substrate-borne vibrational signals in partner recognition, pair formation, and courtship. Planthopper vibrational signals were detected from nettle, Urtica dioica L., cuttings by laser vibrometer. Either male or female could initiate the mating sequence that was divided into three sections: recognition, courtship and precopula. The females were the more vibrationally active gender in the recognition stage and males in the courtship and precopula stages. Four distinct syllables constituted the male repertoire and were emitted in different behavioral contexts. The male syllable 1 was used during the recognition duet, as a reply to female pulse trains and it formed, in combination with male syllable 4, the male precopula signal. This latter signal was emitted in the vicinity of a receptive female and accompanied by jerky lateral movements of the body and tapping of the legs to the substrate. Although nonduetting males emitted long trains composed of male syllable 2, males during the courtship phase emitted trains formed mainly by male syllable 3. Female vibrational signals consisted of pulses, emitted either in trains during the recognition phase or as single pulses, in reply to male trains in the courtship stage. In the precopula phase, the females ceased signaling. According to our results, in H. obsoletus the vibrational signals play a major role in stimulating the male search process and in ensuring the female acceptance.

“…In leafhoppers and planthoppers, female signals usually consist of a series of single pulses (clicks) that are easily distinguished from male vibrational signals (e.g. Claridge, 1985a,b;de Vrijer, 1986;Heady et al, 1986;Gillham & de Vrijer, 1995;Nuhardiyati & Bailey, 2005). In S. titanus, the female signal has no sexspecific characteristics and, in the absence of any time pattern, on its own probably also carries only minimal species-specific information.…”

Mating behaviour of Scaphoideus titanus Ball, the vector of the grapevine disease Flavescence dorée, was investigated in order to determine the role of substrate-borne vibrational signals in intra-specific communication and pair formation. Vibrational signals were recorded from grapevine leaves with a laser vibrometer. Signalling activity of single males changed throughout the day and the peak in activity was associated with twilight and early night when 'call and fly' behaviour was observed. Pair formation began with the spontaneous emission of male signals. The male calling signal consisted of a single series of pulses, partially accompanied with a 'rumble'. The male courtship phrase consisted of four consecutive sections characterized by two sound elements, pulse and 'buzz'. Female vibrational signals were emitted only in response to male signals. The female response was a single pulse that closely resembled male pulses and was inserted between pulses within the male signals. All recorded vibrational signals of S. titanus have a dominant frequency below 900 Hz. A unique feature of vibrational communication in S. titanus is well-developed intrasexual competition; males may use alternative tactics, in the form of disturbance signals, or silently approach duetting females (satellite behaviour). While the male-female duet appears to be essential for successful localization of females and copulation, it is also vulnerable to, and easily disrupted by, alternative tactics like masking.

Investigation of signals of Javesella Fennah, 1963, Muellerianella Wagner, 1963, Ribautodelphax Wagner, 1963, Chloriona Fieber, 1866, and species from some other genera showed that the calling signals in this subfamily for the most part are rather complex phrases consisting of several different elements [ de Vrijer, 1984de Vrijer, , 1986Booij, 1982;den Bieman, 1986den Bieman, , 1987Strübing, Rollenhagen, 1988; de Winter, Rollenhagen, 1990; Gillham, de Vrijer, 1995].…”

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.
