Substrate Drumming and Wing Stridulation Performed during Courtship by a New Brazilian Cricket (Orthoptera: Grylloidea: Phalangopsidae)

In August 1992 we collected a few specimens of an undescribed phalangopsid cricket from the leaf litter inside a small patch of remnant forest in Botucatu, State of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Prior to fixation, these specimens were kept alive in the laboratory for a few weeks and we had the opportunity to observe the courtship and copulatory behaviors as well as record the acoustic emissions performed by courting males.
