Endemic for Turkey - central Anatolia (Figure 16a) ( Kaltenbach 1967 , 1970 ). Figure 16. Distribution map (A) and male calling song of Saga cappadocica (B sequences of repetitive units C a group of repetitive units and D a complete repetitive unit). Song recording. Male specimens collected from Turkey, Ankara, Cubuk-Sabanoezue yolu 6 km, Mutlu koeyue yolu, 40°14.760'N , 33°05.199'E , 1090 m, 10.VII.2011 (by D. Sirin ) and calling song recorded from 3 males at 24 °C in the field (by D. Sirin ). Description of song. Total of six records from three males was examined. Oscillographic analyses showed that two possibilities (i) each syllable contains three similar elements (usually crescendo) and phrase consists of a great number of them or (ii) there are micro-phrases of three syllables in a crescending sequence and phrase consists of a great number of this micro-phrases (Figure 16c). So, repetitive unit term was used for this situation to describe the song. The calling song consists of repetitive unit sequences of variable duration (Figure 16b). The phrase begins with 1-2 repetitive units that are quieter than the following ones. Phrase duration varies between 1.02 and 8.12 s (4.15 +/- 1.29). The number of repetitive unit in 100 ms is approximately 2.5 and repetitive unit duration varies between 36 and 42 ms (39.11 +/- 1.90) with an interval of 6-9 ms (6.72 +/- 0.19). Each element includes 4-8 impulses and the duration of each element (Figure 16d) varies between 5 and 9 ms (7.16 +/- 0.79).
