The male calling song (Fig. 16) is composed of sequences with a duration of 4.8 to 12.5 s and separated from one another by 7.1 to 8.8 s of silence. Each sequence is introduced by a short phrase composed of 1 to 5 groups of pulses, followed by a long phrase composed of 21 to 64 echemes. Each echeme is composed of 6 to 9 groups of pulses. Frequency ranges from 5500 to > 22 500 Hz. The main power is located between 15 000 and 18 000 Hz, and the maximum power is located around 16 000 Hz.
