Distribution.

Endemic for Turkey - Southwest Anatolia (Figure 13a) ( Karabağ 1952, Karabağ 1958).

Song recording.

Male specimens collected from Turkey, Antalya, Saklıkent, Bakırlıdağ-Pozan arası (It is type locality of species.), 36°49.615'N, 30°17.215'E, 1765 m, 30.VII.2010 (by A. Mol) and calling song recorded from two males at 31 °C in laboratory (D. Şirin).

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 ± 4.96). Oscillo graphic 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).
