Description

Acanthoplus speiseri Brancsik, 1895

References: Mbata 1992, Bateman & Fleming 2013

Like the other species of the genus, A. speiseri has also a quite low number of stridulatory teeth in the left file (mean 28; Mbata 1992). The calling song is described as „uninterrupted buzz similar to that of other Acanthoplus species“ (Bateman & Fleming 2013) without giving any detailed data.

Chromosomes: The karyotype was studied by Mbata (2005): 2n = 25 (24 + X0), FN = 26; pairs 1–12 and the X chromosome acrocentric.
