The song is quite similar to that of P. armeniacus. The males produced series with a quite variable duration of 20.0± 22.5 s (n=11; range 2.4–75 s) at intervals of 12.2±6.3 (n=3) s. A series contained on average 200 syllables (SRR 12.6 Hz; T =25–29ºC; Fig. 6). The syllables had a duration of 51.6±3 ms (n=7) and contained 5.6±0.7 (n=7) impulses, resulting in a mean interval of 10.4 ms between the impulses (Fig. 7).

The spectrum of the song had its peak between 30 and 40 kHz (Fig. 9; high pass filter 12 kHz)
