Poecilimon toros Ünal, 2003 (syriacus -group)

TURKEY: Antalya, road Elmali–Korkuteli, near branching off to Avdan (36.9345°N, 30.0942°E), 21.05.2009, leg. D. Chobanov, H. Braun, K.-G. Heller, 2 males recorded .

The males produced short echemes with a duration of 0.34± 0.1 s (n=21; range 0.23– 0.45 s; Fig. 8 ). The intervals between the echemes had a duration of 4.2± 4.2 s (range 0.7– 14.4 s, n=18). An echeme contained on average 14 syllables (SRR 40.8 Hz; T =24ºC). The syllables had a mean duration of 3.2 ms and contained 1–3 impulses.

The spectrum of the song had its peak near 30 kHz ( Fig. 9 ).
