Description of song.
Totally five records from two males were examined. The calling song includes isolated syllables (Figure 13b, c) with an interval 1.76-2.52 s (2.18
+/-
0.15). Syllable duration varies between 73-88 ms (80.41
+/-

analyses showed that each syllable includes three elements (quieter-louder-quieter) (Figure 13d). First element of a syllable (rarely absent) is a quieter part and its duration varies between 3-6 ms (3.67
+/-
0.29). The first element of syllable is followed by a louder part after an interval of 4-7 ms (5.57
+/-
0.81). The louder part (middle element) of syllable consists of 12-18 (15.33
+/-
1.96) pulses and its duration varies from
33
to 38 ms (35.26
+/-
1.88). The louder part is followed by another quieter part (last element) after an interval of 25-32 ms (27.83
+/-
2.40) and its duration varies between 2 and 4 ms (3.10
+/-
0.60).
