on 4 November 2019 (estimated air temperature 16 °C). Calling males were easily disturbed and stopped calling when being approached at distances of less than 10 m. Therefore, recordings are of poor quality, as the recorded individual was calling at considerable distance (estimated&gt; 15 m) and there is considerable background noise in the recording. A call voucher could not be collected, but the male holotype was caught at a spot from where the same type of call was emitted (although the individual could not be directly observed calling), making it very probable that the calls described here belong to

. Although the poor recording quality hampers access to some call parameters (i.e. pulse structure and exact rate), the call can be described as follows. The advertisement call consists of a single, short, pulsed note, repeated at regular succession (Fig.

). Calls (= notes) exhibit a very slight upward frequency modulation and are clearly pulsed, although the poor recording quality prevents any reliable counting of pulses; however, it can be estimated from some sections of the calls that pulse rate is greater than 200 pulses/second. Numerical parameters of 23 analysed calls are as follows: call duration (= note duration) 132-186 ms (151.3

14.1 ms); inter-call interval 804-1041 ms (882.3

25 Hz), with a second peak in call energy of similar intensity at around 2800-2930 Hz; prevalent bandwidth 1200-4000 Hz; calls were repeated at a rate of 52-63 call/minute.
