The male calling song, heard mainly at dusk and during the night, is very similar to that of P. falcata, consisting of isolated syllables repeated, often quite irregularly, at intervals within the range 1-3s. Each syllable lasts for about 50-150ms and usually consists of 2-7 tooth impacts. Heller (1998) has shown that, as in P. falcata, the sound is produced entirely by the opening stroke of the fore wings. We have not heard this species produce the clearly-defined echemes that seem to be a normal component of the calling song of P. falcata.
Der Gesang ist leise bis mäßig laut und besteht aus Reihen von Einzelsilben, die in Anständen von 0,2-3s vorgetragen werden. Die Länge der Silben ist unterschiedlich und länger als bei Phaneroptera falcata. Das Maximum der Lautstärke liegt bei 14-22kHz und somit überwiegend im hörbaren Bereich. Der Gesang wird vom späten Nachmittag bis zur Morgendämmerung vorgetragen; bei bedecktem Himmel singt die Art auch am Tag.
