Calling song (Figs 2D, 3D, 4D). Consists of an echeme-sequence. At 26°C, each echeme-sequence consists two parts, the first being 6±2 (5–10) isolated syllables, followed by the second being 11±4 (5–16) echemes made up of two syllables (doublet) each. For the first part, the average syllable duration is 22.1±1.5 ms (19.6–25.2 ms) and the average interval between consecutive syllables is 0.14± 0.03 s (0.12– 0.20 s). For the second part, the average echeme duration is 58.8±1.8 ms (57.5–64.1 ms) and the average silent interval between consecutive echemes is the same as the average silent interval between consecutive syllables in the first part of the song. The average syllable duration of the doublet is 22.4±0.5 ms (21.5–23.2 ms), barely longer than that in the first part; and the average silent interval between the two syllables is 13.1±0.7 ms (11.8–14.1 ms). The frequency spectrum is pure-tonal and forms an harmonic series, with the energy peaking at a dominant fundamental frequency of 7.39 kHz.
