ABSTRACT
The most elegant example of a stridulating organ known to us from the fossil record is McKeown’s (1937, Plate IV; see also Carpenter, 1992, Figure 114) Middle Triassic specimen of the orthopteroid Mesotitan from New South Wales (Figure 139). It is clearly ne evidence for a noisy environment, and its color pattern is well preserved. Guinot and Breton (2006, Figure 13) described the stridulating structures present on a Cenomanian crab. Krzeminska and Krzeminski (1992, Figure 161) illustrated the stridulating organ on the wings of two Baltic amber ceratopogonids.
