Ruspolia fuscopunctata Karny 1907
Description
Ruspolia fuscopunctata (Karny, 1907)
[A] CH 4985 ♂
The specimen agrees in all measurements (length of pronotum, tegmen, hind femur, syllable repetition rate, number of stridulatory teeth) with the data given by Bailey for R. fuscopunctata.
The calling song showed a syllable repetition rate of 19 Hz (T= 22.5ºC) and was produced with a file (“crescentic” type; Bailey 1975) containing 115 teeth.
The mixed remainings of another three Ruspolia specimens (CH 4971–3) from [C] could not be identified with certainty. Two of them belonged to specimens with files of the “crescentic” type (number of teeth ca. 80, 86) and may also be H. fuscopunctata, but could also be H. ruthae or H. ampla (see Bailey, 1975).
