| description | In Ensifera (Tettigoniidae: Phaneropterinae), males produce acoustic signals through tegminal stridulation; these signals act primarily to attract sexually receptive conspecific females for mating. The study of bioacoustics is also a complementary tool in traditional morphological studies since these signals are species-specific and allow the differentiation of morphologically similar (cryptic) taxa. Acoustic signals represent an important intra and interspecific communication system. Members of the family Tettigoniidae are remarkable for producing acoustic signals that are frequently inaudible to the human ear [frequency (f) > 20 kHz]. Although Mexico is endowed with an extensive diversity of insects, few studies have focused on their acoustic repertoire. In this work, we describe for the first time, the ultrasonic acoustic calling signal of Obolopteryx eurycerca Barrientos-Lozano & Rocha-Sánchez, 2016. The specimens studied were collected in the municipality of Hidalgo, Tamaulipas, Mexico. The males’ calling signal is made up of echemes of three syllables, emitted in a continuous fashion for long periods of time (± 1h). The acoustic signal of O. eurycerca is compared with that of O. castanea (Rehn & Hebard, 1914) and the advantages of ultrasonic acoustic communication in Ensifera are discussed. |

En Ensifera (Tettigoniidae: Phaneropterinae), los machos producen señales acústicas mediante estridulación tegminal; estas señales funcionan en primera instancia para atraer hembras conespecíficas sexualmente receptivas. El estudio de la bioacústica es, además, una herramienta complementaria en estudios morfológicos tradicionales, ya que estas señales son especie-específicas y permiten diferenciar especies morfológicamente similares (crípticas). Las señales acústicas representan un sistema importante de comunicación intra e interespecífico. Los miembros de la familia Tettigoniidae se destacan por la producción de señales acústicas que frecuentemente son inaudibles al oído humano [frecuencia (f) > de 20 kHz]. México posee una amplia diversidad de insectos, sin embargo, pocos estudios se han enfocado al conocimiento del repertorio acústico de éstos. En este trabajo se describe por primera vez el canto ultrasónico de llamado de Obolopteryx eurycerca Barrientos-Lozano & Rocha-Sánchez, 2016. Ejemplares en estudio se recolectaron en el municipio de Hidalgo, Tamaulipas, México. La señal acústica de llamado de los machos consiste en la producción de equemas de tres sílabas, que se emiten en forma continua por periodos largos de tiempo (± 1h). Se compara la señal acústica de O. eurycerca con la de O. castanea (Rehn & Hebard, 1914) y se discuten las ventajas de la comunicación acústica ultrasónica en Ensifera.
