Description

Lebinthus puyos Robillard, 2013

(Figs. 1, 6, 7)

Lebinthus puyos Robillard, 2013: 49 (original description); Baroga et al. 2016: 94 (taxonomic key).

Type material. Holotype male. Philippines. Luzon: Laguna, Los Baños, Mount Makiling, base, secondary forest on campus, 14°09’12.9”N 121°14’05.0”E, 168 m (GPS Maki1), 27.vi.2011, night, leaf litter (TR652), coll. T. Robillard (UPLBMNH) [examined]; Allotype female: same information as holotype, TR653 (UPLBMNH) [examined]; Paratypes (5♂): same information as holotype (MNHN) [examined].

Other material examined. Philippines. [Luzon]: Laguna: College, 50 m, 1♂ (JBB318), 20.ii.1958, coll. E.S. Novero (UPLBMNH ORT-01161); UPLB, Mt. Makiling, 1♀ (JBB106), 06.viii.2014, coll. J.B. Baroga (UPLBMNH); Los Baños, 300 m, 1♀ (JBB349), 21.iv.1960, coll. A. Djamin (UPLBMNH ORT-01192); [Quezon Province], Mt. Banahaw, 1♂ (JBB297), 2.vii.1994, coll. O. Reyes (UPLBMNH ORT-01140); same information as holotype, 6♂, lab colony, call recording (F0-male1, F0-male1-3, F1-male1-2, F5-male1) (MNHN).

Type locality. Philippines. Luzon: Laguna, Los Baños, Mount Makiling, base, secondary forest on campus.

Distribution. Philippines: Laguna: Mt. Makiling and Los Baños; Quezon: Mt. Banahaw (new record).

Diagnosis. This species differs from L. sanchezi by its whitish face, a fastigium that is not orange apically, without clear longitudinal bands in the vertex (Robillard et al., 2013), and male genitalia with long and rounded pseudepiphallic lophi and C-shaped pseudepiphallic parameres.

Calling song. The song of L. puyos consists of long trills (duration = 3.1± 0.8 s [1.7– 4.0 s]; period = 25.6± 2.8 s [22.4– 33.1 s]) made up of more than 200 syllables of increasing intensity (Figs. 7 A–C). Syllable duration = 12.6±1.2 ms (10–15 ms). The spectrogram analysis reveals that the frequency spectrum is completely ultrasonic. The syllables show a clear dominant peak at 23.12±1.06 kHz typically corresponding to the first peak of a harmonic series with an intermediary peak at ca. 25 to 30 kHz (Figs. 7D, 7E).

Habitat. The species is found in secondary habitats in the type locality, i.e., foot of Mt. Makiling; specimens were found in leaf litter and on top of leaves of small plants (Fig. 6A).
