This study contains the first report of stridulatory sound observed in Panstrongylus rufotuberculatus Champion, 1899, and also a new record of this species in Venezuela. The conditions in which stridulation occurred are described, as well as the general environmental characteristics of the localities where it was found. This triatomine only performs the sound in conditions of extreme provocation.

Sound is an important medium of communication among insects. Some longhorn beetles produce sounds during their daily activities, and these sounds play a role in courtship, predation, and defense. However, whether there are differences in the sounds emitted by longhorn beetles and how to distinguish and recognize these sounds have not been investigated in detail.

Distribution areas, in terms of size and shape, are usually related to dispersal capacity, and the latter is partly related to flight capacity in insects. Thus, wing condition (brachypterous or macropterous) is expected to correlate with the area size of the species distribution range. Here, we studied this aspect for the first time in Passalidae, a subsocial group of saproxylophagous beetles.

The acoustic communication system (ACS) in bark beetles has been studied mainly in species of the genera , and . Specifically, ACS of the roundheaded pine beetle, , has been little studied. In this study, we described the stridulatory apparatus of this beetle using optical and scanning electron microscopy and recorded the call types produced by males in three behavioral contexts: stress, female-male-, and male-male interactions.

Stridulation is used by male katydids to produce sound 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 remain undescribed and their acoustic signals are unknown. This study aims to measure and quantify the mechanics of wing vibration, sound production and acoustic properties of the hearing system in a new genus of Pseudophyllinae with taxonomic descriptions of two new species.

The songs of seven grasshopper species of subfamily Gomphocerinae from Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, and Kazakhstan were studied. We analysed not only the sound, but also the stridulatory movements of the hind legs to more entirely describe the songs. In , , and , the legs are moved in a relatively simple pattern; four other species, , , , and demonstrate more complex leg movements.
