Note. This species was recorded stridulating at night (around 20: 30) from low, shrubby vegetation along the coast of the Jacquinot Bay in the village of Palmalmal. The stridulating male was sitting on a branch of a tall bush, about 2 m above the ground; the recording was made from a distance of about 1 m. The call (Figs. 2 A–B) consisted of short, loud syllables (as defined by Ragge, 1990), produced with the frequency of 6 syllables/s at 26 °C; each syllable lasted 0.027 s (± 0.0036, n= 40).
