03862857FFE20E7EFF09C5C7FE89F9AC.taxon	biology_ecology	Hosts. In steppes and semi-deserts, on Agropyron spp. Calling signal. Signals of seven males from the environs of Altynemel Village, 45 km east of Zharkent along the road to Saryozek, Southern Kazakhstan were recorded on 11. VI. 2019 at 22 oC. Calling signal has a duration of about 7 – 15 s and is a succession of syllables following each other with a period of 1 – 1.5 s (Figs. 40 – 42). Each syllable begins with a succession of short pulses repeating at a rate of about 70 – 80 / s in our recordings (Figs. 54 – 57). Then 5 – 8 longer pulses repeating at a rate of about 20 – 25 / s follow. Pulses are often merged with each other and are partially indistinguishable.	en	Tishechkin, Dmitri Yu.

03862857FFE20E79FF09C093FD7EFD81.taxon	biology_ecology	Hosts. Collected from Elytrigia sp. in Samara Oblast, European Russia and from Elymus sp. and other grasses in Kazakhstan. In steppes and deserts usually dwells in meadows on the shores of lakes and on riverbanks. Calling signal. Signals of males from the following localities were investigated. 1. East of Saratov Oblast, environs of Ozinki Town on border with Kazakhstan, meadow on bank of pond in steppe, 2. VII. 2004, signals of three males recorded at 24 – 27 oC. 2. Southeastern Kazakhstan, Urzharskiy Region, 27 km south of Taskesken, Elymus sp. and other grasses on riverbank, 25. VI. 2019, signals of four males recorded at 25 – 30 oC. Calling signal has a duration of about 5 – 15 s and is a succession of syllables with elaborate and variable temporal pattern (Figs. 43 – 48). Usually, a syllable begins with one or two high-amplitude rather prolonged pulses, followed by a low-amplitude fragment; then a high-amplitude prolonged pulse, as in the beginning, 3 – 6 short pulses and another prolonged pulse follow (Fig. 60). Occasionally, several additional pulses precede the main part of a syllable (Figs. 58 – 59). Due to frequency filtering in the substrate, the structure of syllables sometimes becomes indistinct (Figs. 61 – 62). Syllable repetition period ranges from 0.5 up to 1 – 1.5 s.	en	Tishechkin, Dmitri Yu.

03862857FFE50E79FF09C4FDFDE7F93D.taxon	biology_ecology	Hosts. Collected from undetermined species of Poaceae; both in the steppe and in the forest zones, usually in meadows on riverbanks. Calling signal. Signals of males from the following localities were investigated. 1. Transbaikalia, Southern Buryatia, saline meadow on the bank of Temnik River, 4 km North of Selenduma Town, 13. VII. 2007, signals of one male recorded at 23 – 24 oC. 2. The Russian Far East, Primorsky Krai, Pogranichny Region, environs of Barabash-Levada Village, meadow on the bank of Komissarovka River, 19. VII. 2002, signals of two males recorded at 26 – 27 oC. Calling signal has a duration from 5 – 6 up to 25 – 30 s and is a succession of syllables with rather variable temporal pattern (Figs. 49 – 53). Typically, a syllable consists of a high-amplitude pulse followed by low-amplitude oscillations and a high-amplitude end part with an abrupt trailing edge (Figs. 63 – 65). Occasionally, a high-amplitude initial pulse and low-amplitude oscillations are almost entirely absent (Fig. 66). Also, sometimes some syllables have elongated initial parts (Figs. 67 – 68) or additional high-amplitude pulses in the middle part (Fig. 69). Repetition period of typical (not elongated) syllables averages 470 – 600 ms in our recordings.	en	Tishechkin, Dmitri Yu.

03862857FFE50E78FF09C121FB39FD54.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Originally described from Kazakhstan in a key (Mityaev, 1971) as a valid species, this taxon only slightly differs from T. (C.) elegans in genitalia shape. Because these differences are obviously of a geographic nature, we consider this taxon to be a subspecies. Recorded from Kyrgyzstan, Central Tien Shan Mts. (Ottuk, At-Bashy, and Aktal) by Dubovsky and Turgunov (1971) as “ Callistrophia sp. n. ”, but a formal description was never published elsewhere by these authors. Investigated material from Central Tien Shan belongs to T. (C.) elegans subornata (Figs. 12 – 13, 34 – 35).	en	Tishechkin, Dmitri Yu.
