at Torotorofotsy (air temperature not recorded; call voucher not collected but agreeing in color pattern with this species) consist of a single short pulsatile note, emitted at long somewhat irregular intervals.Amplitude modulation is evident in each call, with maximum call energy present in the first quarter of the call, rapidly decreasing to a much lower level and further gradually fading towards the calls end. Numerical parameters of 52 analysed calls are as follows: call duration (= note duration) 2041 ms (31.3 ± 7.2 ms); inter-call intervals 11902520 ms (1826.7 ± 439.5 ms); dominant frequency 31563979 Hz (3629 ± 292 Hz); prevalent bandwidth 22005200 Hz. Call repetition rate was approximately between 2348 calls/minute. Within the recordings, sometimes two calls were emitted in fast succession, with inter-call intervals ranging between 98155 ms (122.7 ± 120.6 ms). It is unknown if these double clicks are a regular part of the advertisement call, or possibly have another function (e.g. territorial).
