Abstract
AbstractThis paper compiles parameters of calling songs from 14 cicada species inhabiting Iran. In addition, calling song parameters ofChloropsalta smaragdulawere analyzed for the first time. A taxonomy based on song parameters was designed, including Iranian cicadasTibicen plebejus,Cicadatra lorestanica,Cicadivetta tibialis,Tettigetta golestani,Pagiphora annulata,Tibicina haematodes,Cicada orni, Pagiphora annulata,Chloropsalta smaragdula,Cicadatra hyalina,Psalmocharias querula,Cicadatra persica,Cicadatra alhageos,Cicadatra atraandCicadatra barbodiout of 44 species reported from Iran. In addition to common acoustic parameters, four new complex spectral features such as variance, kurtosis, spectral centroid and short time energy were used. These additional features were necessary to construct a comprehensive identification key based on acoustic parameters. Our acoustic identification system provides a highly accurate species recognition method, which could be of general relevance in cicada taxonomy.
