  • Songs of Holcostethus strictus (Fabricius): a different repertoire among landbugs (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae)
    Pavlovčič, Petra ; Čokl, Andrej
    Songs emitted during mating by male and female Holcostethus strictus were recorded as substrate vibrations. Spectra of the vibrational signals have a dominant frequency peak between 100 and 260 Hz ... and in this respect reflect thegeneral characteristic of the family Pentatomidae. Songs of H. strictus differ from the song repertoire of the southern green stink bug Nezara viridula (L.) (Pentatomidae) in many respects. The female calling and courtship songs differ in echeme and phrase duration. The male calling song iscomposed of spectrally different subunits. The copulatory song is composed of echemes of two types, which constitute a phrase of less regular temporal structure. In H. strictus, males start to sing first and female songs are less complex than in N. viridula. The female calling song is evoked by male calling and does not trigger male response. The female and male courtship song phrases are superimposed on one another and we have not observed any obvious regularity in their exchange. The possible role of different songs in H. strictus is discussed and compared with that in other pentatomide landbug species.
