produces two types of call, hereafter referred to as call type A and call type B. Based on our video recordings and observations in the field, we believe that call type A corresponds to the advertisement call, while call type B may be a territorial call. Notably, while calling in chorus, males were producing call type A, whereas call type B seem to be employed in two-individuals vocal battles. However, our data are insufficient to categorize with confidence these two calls with regard to their respective function and we describe both call types below. The call type and call rate produced is highly dependent on the social context.

then revised the description of the species and gave measurement values for the three syntypes. When we examined the type series in the collection of the Museum of Berlin, we realized that the syntypes 2 and 3 had been attributed new collection numbers: ZMB-57183 (ZMB-26879 type 2) and ZMB-57184 (ZMB-26879 type 3) and the jar containing ZMB-26879 type 1 bears the label "
