- Abstract
The stridulatory apparatus in 8 species of Piesma Le Peletier & Serville was examined. The apparatus is a modification of the hind wing's cubitus, and it differs among species of Piesma with respect to the number, shape and size of the stridulatory ridges. Differences in the properties of the stridulatory ridges between subgenera generally support the current placement of P. maculatum (Laporte de Castelnau) and P. capitatum (Wolff) in the subgenus Piesma s. str., and the placement of the other Palaearctic species of the genus in Parapiesma Péricart.
