Abstract
La estructura del órgano estridulador de Agapanthia dahli (Richter, 1821) consiste en una placa estriada o pars stridens situada en la cara dorsal del mesonoto y un rascador o plectrum constituido por un engrosamiento del margen posterior interno del pronoto. El sonido se produce cuando el insecto mueve el pronoto con respecto al mesonoto, deslizando así el plectrum contra la pars stridens. La estructura de la señal emitida es típicamente bisilábica, reflejando el movimiento bidireccional de la pars stridens con respecto al plectrum. Se describe por primera vez el órgano estridulador y la señal acústica, y se discute el posible papel de la estridulación en esta especie. [ABSTRACT] Structure of the stridulatory organ and analysis of the acoustic signal in Agapanthia dahli (Richter, 1821) (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae).— Agapanthia dahli (Richter, 1821) have a stridulatory organ consisting of a grooved plate or pars strindens at the dorsal side of mesonotum and a scraper or plectrum in the internal posterior margin of the pronotum. Sound is produced when the insect moves the pronotum, sliding the plectrum against the pars stridens. The structure of the signal is typically disyllabic, reflecting the bi–directional movement of pars strindens with respect to the plectrum. We describe the stridulatory organ and acoustic signals for the first time, and discuss the possible role of stridulation in this species.
