Male specimens collected from Turkey, Elazığ, Keban çıkışı 15 km, 38°42.790'N, 38°57.428'E, 1376 m, 03.VII.2012 (by D. Şirin & A. Mol), and calling song recorded from two males at 32 °C in laboratory (by D. Şirin).

Description of song.

Five records from two males were evaluated. The calling song consists of a series of irregular number of phrases (Figure 8b) with an interval of 297-615 ms (376 ± 0.09). Phrases are consisting of 9-11 (9.84 ± 0.99) syllables. The phrase begins with a quiet syllable (Figure 8c). Oscillographic analyses showed that each phrase involves two syllable couples (Figure 8d). Syllable couple duration varies between 53-67 ms (54.10 ± 1.97) with an interval of 5-19 ms (8.37 ± 2.17). First syllable in these couples lasts 19-25 ms (22.33 ± 1.67) and contains a louder beginning part [17-23 ms (21.12 ± 2.27)] and a quieter part [1-4 ms (1.97 ± 0.78)]. First syllable in these couples is followed by a second syllable (except the first syllable in a phrase) after an interval of 6-12 ms (8.22 ± 1.63). Duration of the second syllable in these couples varies between 26-34 ms (28.57 ± 2.15).
