Abstract: 

Seven species of bushcrickets were investigated morphologically and physiologically in order to find out adaptations of the receiver system to the parameters of the conspecific song. The following species were used: Decticus verrucivorus (D.v.), Decticus albifrons (D.a.) and Psorodonotus illyricus (P.i.); Tettigonia cantans (T.c.) and Tettigonia viridissima (T.v); Ephippiger ephippiger (E.e.), Mygalopsis marki (M.m.). Despite of partly great differences in the time-amplitude patterns and the frequency content of the different stridulatory songs, the hearing organs of the forelegs of the seven species have in some respects very similar properties. For instance, the audible range is nearly the same for all the seven species although there are differences in the morphology and the number of receptor cells between the tympanal organs of the different species. The audible range of all the seven species lies between 2 to 70 kHz which could be revealed by single cell recordings of all the auditory receptor cells (Kalmring et al. 1990).
