preservative has a pattern of fine blackish spots across the dorsum, in addition to a moderately contrasted hourglass-patch on the anterior dorsum and second dark patch on the posterior dorsum. In life, the female had a more reddish brown dorsal color, and reddish brown color also in the iris; it contains a large number of mature oocytes, recognizable without dissection.

(air temperature not recorded), consist of multiple tonal notes, sounding like whistles. Within calls, inter-note intervals become longer from the beginning to the end of the call. All notes exhibit a distinct upward frequency modulation, with a frequency shift comprising approximately 400 Hz. The first note of each call is lower in relative amplitude when compared to subsequent notes. Amplitude modulation within notes is only slightly expressed (most distinct in first note), with increasing amplitude reaching its maximum at the second half of the notes duration. Numerical parameters of nine analyzed calls of three different individuals (among them call vouchers
