Abstract

This paper concerns the acoustic emission and the stridulatory apparatus in the adults of Copris incertus Say and is part of a comparative analysis on communication mechanisms in scarab beetles (Coleoptera).

Acoustic emissions of uneasiness and protest were recorded and analyzed to obtain time and frequency measurements; the stridulatory apparatus, consisting of a pars stridens and a plectrum, was analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy.
