Enyaliopsis spec. 2 Mpwapwa

This species is called Mpwapwa Armoured Ground Bushcricket and can be identified using the key in Hemp (2021). The single known male specimen of this species has a small body size and the spines of the pronotum are rather short. It resembles E. spec. 3 from the East Chenene Forest Reserve further north-west but is smaller in body size and the pronotum is less spiny.

Material examined: 1 male [CH8353 (SR, TI, CHR), TANZANIA, Mpwapwa plateau, Dodoma Region, Wotta Forest Reserve , 1840 m, March 2017, leg. C. Hemp.

Reference: Hemp 2021

Bioacoustics. The calling song ( Fig. 8H View FIGURE 8 ) consists of long series of syllables (song type B in Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 ; see Table 2 View TABLE 2 ). The spectrum of the song ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 ; peak at 13 kHz) does not show large differences to the typical Hetrodini pattern.

Genitalia. In a comparison of figures, the titillator of our specimen ( Fig. 9G View FIGURE 9 ) is most similar to that of E. monsteri Glenn, 1991 from the petersi group.

Chromosomes: 2n = 27 (26 + X0), FN = 30; pair 1 submetacentric, 2–13 acrocentric, X chromosome metacentric (1 male); thin C-bands in the paracentromeric region of all chromosomes ( Fig. 12F View FIGURE 12 )
