, 1996 One of my hobbies is collecting tautonyms--a harmless and inexpensive activity. Unlike rock-collecting, tautonym-collecting is clean, requires very little exertion, and only a small amount of storage space.

Lack of correlation between vertical distribution and carrier frequency, and preference for open spaces in arboreal katydids that use extreme ultrasound, in Gorgona, Colombia (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae) [PDF]
, 2014 Male Tettigoniidae emit sound to attract conspecific females. The sound is produced by stridulation. During stridulation the forewings open and close, but it is during the closing stroke that the scraper contacts the file teeth to generate the ...

Wing mechanics and acoustic communication of a new genus of sylvan katydid (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae: Pseudophyllinae) from the Central Cordillera cloud forest of Colombia [PDF]
PeerJStridulation is used by male katydids to produce sound via the rubbing together of their specialised forewings, either by sustained or interrupted sweeps of the file producing different tones and call structures. There are many species of Orthoptera that

Nomenclatural changes for some Orthoptera (Ensifera and Caelifera)
Zootaxa, 2008 Three proposed genus group names in the family Tettigoniidae, Euschmitiidae and Eumastacidae are nomenclaturally invalid, as the genus group names have already been used by different authors in other animal groups (Coleoptera and Hemiptera). In accordance with Article 60 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, I propose substitute names ...
