Species diversity does have a pivotal role in the study and perception of biodiversity (Boero, 2010). One of the goals of Zoology is the study of the animal diversity, that is, the animal species, and Taxonomy is one of the basic disciplines to achieve it. Currently, biodiversity research requires a multidisciplinary approach (Boero, 2009), many different disciplines being involved, such as morphology, molecular biology, ecology, ethology…, that provide new characteristics to be considered. The study of biodiversity should proceed with the contribution of integrative taxonomy (Boero, 2010), taking into account, in addition to the traditional taxonomy, other disciplines of great utility, such as the study

In this context, behaviour and sounds are relevant characteristics to discover new taxa (Valdecasas, 2011). Sound production in insects is widespread and has been recorded in different orders. It is involved in different behaviours, the most important of which are defence against predators, aggression and mating or sexual behaviour. Four types of senses are used by insects in their sexual behaviour: tactile, visual, chemosensory and acoustics. The acoustic sense is that generally have received more attention, this stimulus is often heard by humans and their production involves the movement of specialized structures that can be seen, usually directly. The types of sounds produced and producing mechanisms can be framed primarily in three categories: stridulation, vibration and percussion. The sounds of insects have been classified in the context of behaviour in several types: call or proclamation, courtship, aggregation, aggression, mating and sounds of interaction (Lewis,
