Calling signal. Signals of seven males from the environs of Altynemel Village, 45 km east of Zharkent along the road to Saryozek, Southern Kazakhstan were recorded on 11. VI. 2019 at 22 oC.
Calling signal has a duration of about 7–15 s and is a succession of syllables following each other with a period of 1– 1.5 s (Figs. 40–42). Each syllable begins with a succession of short pulses repeating at a rate of about 70–80/s in our recordings (Figs. 54–57). Then 5–8 longer pulses repeating at a rate of about 20–25/s follow. Pulses are often merged with each other and are partially indistinguishable.
