Tylopsis lilifolia

The male calling song usually consists of short echemes of about 2-5 'tick'-like syllables. The syllables in each echeme are separated by untervals of about 300-700ms and the echemes are repeated at rather irregular and much longer intervals, usually between 10 and 70s. Each syllable is very short-lived, usually lasting less than 10ms, and seems to consist of only a few tooth impacts, usually 3-6 but occassionally up to 10 or more. Sometimes one or more (most often the first) of the syallables in an echeme lasts rather longer, up to 100ms, with the component sounds more widely spaced.

One Corsican male studied produced (in darkness) long sequences of ungrouped syllables repeated at intervals of about 1-2s. Each syllable lasted 50-70ms.[1]
