Montana macedonica Berland & Chopard 1922

Description

Montana macedonica (Berland & Chopard, 1922) — Fig. 8 C.

Localities: Bulgaria, Rila Mts, above Bistritsa Vill., 1150–1300 m (N 42°05', E 23°13'), 27.vii.2016, leg. D. Chobanov. Republic of Macedonia, Cer southeastern of Kičevo (N 41°25', E 21°03'), 9.viii.1981 (Heller 1988). Republic of Macedonia, Titov Veles, Lake Mladost, 3.viii.1997, leg. Fer Willemse.

In the calling song, two types of verses are observed, short and long ones. The short verses start with a few (2–3) long syllables, called macrosyllables, which contain a series of impulses, and are followed by a short series of microsyllables (for details see Heller 1988). The long verses consist of a sequence of three-syllabic echemes. The first two syllables of each echeme are shorter and softer than the last one. Typically, a long verse follows immediately after a short one (Fig. 8 C).
