To find a mate, male and female bush-crickets of the family Phaneropteridae typically engage in duets. The male sings and the female responds. For mutual recognition, the amplitude pattern of the male song and the species-specific timing of the female response have been shown to be very important. In the seven studied species, belonging to the genera and , these duets are extremely fast and nearly completely in the ultrasonic range. The females produce very short sounds by fast closing movements of the tegmina. They respond with species-specific delays of 20 to 150 ms after the beginning of the male song. The different latency times are probably not important for species recognition, since in sympatric species they are quite similar.
为了找到配偶,扇螽科的雄性和雌性灌丛蟋蟀通常会进行二重唱。雄性唱歌,雌性回应。研究表明,对于相互识别而言,雄性歌声的振幅模式以及雌性回应的物种特异性时间非常重要。在属于[具体属名缺失]属的七个研究物种中,这些二重唱速度极快,且几乎完全在超声波范围内。雌性通过翅的快速闭合动作发出非常短的声音。它们在雄性歌声开始后20到150毫秒的物种特异性延迟后做出回应。不同的延迟时间可能对物种识别并不重要,因为在同域物种中它们非常相似。
