The call of this species is exceptionally loud and can be heard from a distance of several hundred meters. Males call both during the day and at night, producing long, uninterrupted trains of syllables (mean syllable duration 0.0695 s, SD=0.0028; n=22) at the rate ranging from 11 to 12 syllables/sec (at 17°C), with the frequency peak at about 9.3. kHz (Figs. 48D–F).
The dorsal surface of the stridulatory vein has nearly parallel edges, with little attenuation on both ends, with 87 teeth (Fig. 11A).
