Eupholidoptera excisa

Description

Eupholidoptera excisa (Karabag, 1952)

Distribution. E. excisa is endemic to Anatolia. It was recorded only from Adana and Osmaniye provinces of Turkey (Figure 7A) (Karabağ 1952; Salman 1983; Çıplak et al. 2009; Çıplak et al. 2010).

Song recording. Male specimens collected from Turkey, Osmaniye, Düziçi, Düldüldağı Mountain, 37°21.49’ N, 036°29.22’ E, 1301 m, 26.VII.2017 (by H. Sevgili, D. Şirin, M.S. Taylan & A. Mol) and calling song recorded from two males at 30–32 °C in the field (by D. Şirin & M.S. Taylan).

Description of song. Eight records from two males were evaluated. The calling song consists of a series of isolated syllables (Figure 7B) with interval of 1.77– 3.79 s (2.38 ± 0.62). Syllable durations vary between 107 and 128 ms (117.82 ± 4.28). A syllable usually comprises single element and show its maximum intensity is in the middle (Figure 7C). Syllables rarely last for a kind of quieter pulse whose duration varies between 2 and 3 ms (2.25 ± 0.09) with interval of 7–10 ms (9.15 ± 0.88).
