Given the specific name singaporensis, meaning ‘coming from Singapore’. The description is based upon two specimens, a 15 mm male collected at the Tenga airbase in 1958 and a 22 mm female collected at an unspecified location in Singapore in 1901. The male has an exceptionally dense stridulatory file, suggesting that its call would be quite distinctive. Science Thought
