039F879CFFD1912F0BDCFAECA992A52E.taxon	description	The calling song consists of long sequences (up to 1 min recorded) of pairs of syllables (di-syllabic echemes). Occasionally several syllables follow directly one after another (Fig. 7 C 1).

039F879CFFD1912F0BDCF8FBAAA2A4FC.taxon	description	According to the data presented by Zhantiev (1981) M. eversmanni belongs to this group. Its song consists of long series of three-syllabic echemes. In the temporal characters, the song is quite similar to the long verses of M. stricta and M. macedonica (see below) or in general to the song of Metrioptera bicolor (see the data in Zhantiev 1981 for this species). See below for songtype II.	en	Ivković, Slobodan, Iorgu, Ștefan, Horvat, Laslo, Chobanov, Dragan, Korsunovskaya, Olga, Heller, Klaus-Gerhard (2017): New data on the bush-cricket Montana medvedevi (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae), critically endangered in Europe (EU 28), and a comparison of its song with all known song patterns within the genus.

039F879CFFD1912F0BDCFC5CABD2A60E.taxon	description	The calling song of this species is quite complicated. Two different echemes are combined to a phrase and this phrase is repeated in a fast sequence at least for a few minutes (longest uninterrupted recording 2 min). One echeme consists of three short syllables with high amplitude (syllable repetition rate ca. 60 – 70 Hz at 24 – 25 ° C), the other of five longer ones (syllable repetition rate ca. 20 – 30 Hz at 24 – 25 ° C; Fig. 7 B) with lower amplitude. When an animal starts to sing, it often produces only the high-amplitude echemes, separated by longer intervals, and then added the low amplitude echemes. In a recording lasting 15 minutes the animal omitted the low-amplitude echemes several times and used only the loud ones with the corresponding silent intervals.	en	Ivković, Slobodan, Iorgu, Ștefan, Horvat, Laslo, Chobanov, Dragan, Korsunovskaya, Olga, Heller, Klaus-Gerhard (2017): New data on the bush-cricket Montana medvedevi (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae), critically endangered in Europe (EU 28), and a comparison of its song with all known song patterns within the genus.

039F879CFFD3912D0BDCFB6FA9F3A672.taxon	description	Typical for the group, in the calling song series of short verses alternate with one long one. While in the long verses only one type of syllables is found, the short syllables often end with microsyllables (Muñoz Alcón & Crespo Martínez 2013; Fig. 8 B), probably produced by fast closing movements of the tegmina as in M. macedonica (see Heller 1988).	en	Ivković, Slobodan, Iorgu, Ștefan, Horvat, Laslo, Chobanov, Dragan, Korsunovskaya, Olga, Heller, Klaus-Gerhard (2017): New data on the bush-cricket Montana medvedevi (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae), critically endangered in Europe (EU 28), and a comparison of its song with all known song patterns within the genus.

039F879CFFD3912D0BDCFA79AA48A40F.taxon	description	In the calling song, two types of verses are observed, short and long ones. The short verses start with a few (2 – 3) long syllables, called macrosyllables, which contain a series of impulses, and are followed by a short series of microsyllables (for details see Heller 1988). The long verses consist of a sequence of three-syllabic echemes. The first two syllables of each echeme are shorter and softer than the last one. Typically, a long verse follows immediately after a short one (Fig. 8 C).	en	Ivković, Slobodan, Iorgu, Ștefan, Horvat, Laslo, Chobanov, Dragan, Korsunovskaya, Olga, Heller, Klaus-Gerhard (2017): New data on the bush-cricket Montana medvedevi (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae), critically endangered in Europe (EU 28), and a comparison of its song with all known song patterns within the genus.

039F879CFFD2912C0BDCFA80AD13A57E.taxon	description	In an animal recorded at night, the calling song consisted of a sequence of echemes each containing 5 – 7 syllables (syllable repetition rate 40 Hz), produced in short series or without interruption for at least 45 s. The echemes were separated by short intervals of about 150 – 200 ms (Fig. 7 H) and repeated at a rate 3 Hz (Table 1). The calling songs of both songtypes of M. eversmanni (see above) are so different that either two species may be involved or it is another case of a song dimorphism as in M. decticiformis (see above and Discussion).	en	Ivković, Slobodan, Iorgu, Ștefan, Horvat, Laslo, Chobanov, Dragan, Korsunovskaya, Olga, Heller, Klaus-Gerhard (2017): New data on the bush-cricket Montana medvedevi (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae), critically endangered in Europe (EU 28), and a comparison of its song with all known song patterns within the genus.

039F879CFFD2912C0BDCFEDFACE6A1E2.taxon	description	Localities: Austria, Burgenland, Illmitz, 1973 (Ragge & Reynolds 1998). Austria, Niederösterreich, Ebergassing, 2008 and 2012 (sic dates as given by Roesti & Keist 2009). Czech Republic, Lanzhot, 2006 (Kocarek et al. 2013). Ukraine, SE Ukraine, Lugansky reserve, 11. vi. 1996, leg. A. Benediktov (2 males). In the calling song verses of 1 – 2 s duration often alternate with pauses of about 3 – 4 s. According to Ragge & Reynolds (1998) and sound files in Roesti & Keist (2009) the verses consist of sequences of disyllabic echemes with syllable repetition rates around 40 to 70 Hz and echeme repetition rates of 15 to 30 Hz (Fig. 7 E 1). In two other recordings the echeme structure of the song could not be identified (Table 1). However, animals from Ukraine obviously had a much lower syllable repetition rate. Their song did not show an echeme structure, but the syllable repetition rate agreed quite well with that of the echemes in the topotypical Central European populations (Fig. 7 E 2). The number of teeth in the stridulatory file did not differ between localities (Fig. 6 B; Table 1).	en	Ivković, Slobodan, Iorgu, Ștefan, Horvat, Laslo, Chobanov, Dragan, Korsunovskaya, Olga, Heller, Klaus-Gerhard (2017): New data on the bush-cricket Montana medvedevi (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae), critically endangered in Europe (EU 28), and a comparison of its song with all known song patterns within the genus.

039F879CFFD2912B0BDCF84EAA3FA211.taxon	description	In the calling song of M. helleri, echemes with duration of 0.1 to 1.5 s are produced with intervals of about 2 s (Ciplak et al. 2006). The echemes contain 3 – 7 (rarely 2 – 8) syllables with a few microsyllables at the beginning (Fig. 7 K). The syllable repetition rate of the macrosyllables is about 6 Hz, distinctly lower than in the other Montana species mentioned above.	en	Ivković, Slobodan, Iorgu, Ștefan, Horvat, Laslo, Chobanov, Dragan, Korsunovskaya, Olga, Heller, Klaus-Gerhard (2017): New data on the bush-cricket Montana medvedevi (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae), critically endangered in Europe (EU 28), and a comparison of its song with all known song patterns within the genus.

039F879CFFD5912B0BDCFE92A9ACA189.taxon	description	The calling song of M. tianshanica differs from that of all other Montana species. It consists of relatively short, polysyllabic (ca. 3 – 9 macrosyllables) echemes (syllable repetition rate ca. 25 Hz) separated from each other by intervals of about the same duration (Fig. 7 I). Regularly some echemes contain microsyllables at the beginning and only few macrosyllables.	en	Ivković, Slobodan, Iorgu, Ștefan, Horvat, Laslo, Chobanov, Dragan, Korsunovskaya, Olga, Heller, Klaus-Gerhard (2017): New data on the bush-cricket Montana medvedevi (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae), critically endangered in Europe (EU 28), and a comparison of its song with all known song patterns within the genus.

039F879CFFD5912B0BDCFD6AAA0AA7AC.taxon	description	The most characteristic property of the calling song of M. tomini is the extraordinarily large duration of its syllables (Fig. 7 J). At 20 ° C the last syllable of a bi-syllabic echeme lasted about 200 ms. Only M. helleri is in the same range (150 ms at 30 ° C). However, both species differ considerably in the number of impulses per syllable: M. helleri has 32 impulses (and 39 teeth in the stridulatory file; Ciplak et al 2006), M. tomini ca. 80 impulses (and 108 teeth; Fig. 6 C). Concerning the number of syllables per echeme, there is a surprising variability (Figs 7 J 1, 7 J 2). One animal (CH 5317) showed consistently always three to six (eight) syllables per echeme (cage recording at 16 ° C), the others only two to four.	en	Ivković, Slobodan, Iorgu, Ștefan, Horvat, Laslo, Chobanov, Dragan, Korsunovskaya, Olga, Heller, Klaus-Gerhard (2017): New data on the bush-cricket Montana medvedevi (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae), critically endangered in Europe (EU 28), and a comparison of its song with all known song patterns within the genus.
