Planaphrodes monticola (Logvinenko, 1965)

Figs 22–29 .

MATERIAL. 1. Kyrgyzstan, Western Tien-Shan Mts., Chatkal’skiy Mtn. Range, Northern shore of the Sary-Chelek

Lake, 26.VII.2008, signals of one male recorded at 27–28 °C ( Figs 22–23, 25, 27, 29 ).

2. Kyrgyzstan, Central Tien Shan Mts. , the Kekemeren River Basin , the Western Karakol River ca. 10 km from the mouth (10 km East-North-East from Suusamyr Village), mountain steppes on the right bank, 6.VII.2016. Signals of one male recorded at 21 °C ( Figs 24, 26, 28 ) .

SIGNALS. Calling signal is similar to the signal of P. bifasciatus , but differ from it by the presence of gaps in the first part, by somewhat different temporal pattern of syllables in it, and by lower amplitude of the third part.

PENIS SHAPE. Similar to P. bifasciatus by wide penis stem and the position of processes in its middle part, but differs from it by the shape of a stem and the presence of small serrated apical processes ( Fig. 29 ).
