The song is quite similar to that of
P. armeniacus
. The males produced series with a quite variable duration of 20.0±
22.5 s
(n=11; range 2.4–75 s) at intervals of 12.2±6.3 (n=3) s. A series contained on average 200 syllables (SRR 12.6 Hz;
T
=25–29ºC;
Fig. 6
). The syllables had a duration of 51.6±3 ms (n=7) and contained 5.6±0.7 (n=7) impulses, resulting in a mean interval of 10.4 ms between the impulses (
Fig. 7
).
The spectrum of the song had its peak between 30 and 40 kHz (
Fig. 9
; high pass filter 12 kHz)
