A brief comparative description of the stridulatory songs of nine different tettigoniid species is given to introduce a set of four parameters (phase of sound production during opening and closing movement of the wings, syllable repetition mode, syllable similarity, and impulse pattern of the syllables) to characterize the temporal pattern of tettigoniid songs. The importance of different song parameters for female phonotaxis was investigated in two tettigoniid species (Ephippiger ephippiger and Tettigonia viridissima). Two-choice experiments revealed that the impulse pattern of the closing syllable is an important parameter for the phonotactic behaviour of E. ephippiger, whereas the syllable pattern is a decisive parameter for species discrimination in T. viridissima.
本文简要比较描述了九种不同螽斯科物种的鸣声，以引入一组四个参数（翅膀开合运动时声音产生的阶段、音节重复模式、音节相似性以及音节的脉冲模式）来表征螽斯科鸣声的时间模式。在两种螽斯科物种（Ephippiger ephippiger和Tettigonia viridissima）中研究了不同鸣声参数对雌性趋声行为的重要性。双选实验表明，闭合音节的脉冲模式是E. ephippiger趋声行为的一个重要参数，而音节模式是T. viridissima物种识别的决定性参数。
