Distribution. P. striolata is endemic to Anatolia. It was recorded from Niğde, Konya, Malatya, Erzurum, Erzincan, Tunceli and Van provinces of Turkey ( Figure 15A ) ( Karabağ 1958; Karabağ 1961; Sevgili et al. 2012, Ünal 2018). Song recording. Male specimens were collected from Turkey, Niğde, Çamardı, Üçkapılar Mountain, 37°50.39’ N, 034°58.19’ E, 1981 m, 08.VII.2015 (by D. Şirin, M.S. Taylan & A. Mol) and calling song recorded from two males at 25–26 °C in the laboratory (by D. Şirin & M.S. Taylan).

Description of song. Two records from one male were evaluated. The calling song consists of series regular phrases ( Figure 15B ) with an interval of 213–610 ms (310.27 ± 46.26). The phrases duration varies between 262–654 ms (423.35 ± 52.08) and consisting of 7–11 (8.65 ± 0.43) irregular syllables or 3–4 syllable couples. The phrase begins with 2–3 lower amplitude and shorter syllables (first one is the shortest) and the maximum intensity is usually reached between 1/4–1/5 of the phrase ( Figure 15C ). Syllables period duration lasts for 31–68 ms (46.48 ± 3.25) ( Figure 15D ). The number of syllables in 100 ms is 2.5–3.
