Gampsocleis recticauda Werner, 1901

Distribution.

Endemic for Turkey - Western Anatolia (Figure 4a) ( Karabağ 1958, Karabağ et al. 1971).

Song recording.

Male specimens collected from Turkey, Antalya, Elmalı, Bozöyük köyü-Uzunkarış Tepe arası, 36°43.509'N, 30°09.298'E, 1768 m, 9.VII.2008 (by D. Şirin & U. Şirin) and calling song recorded from two males at 33 °C in the field (by D. Şirin).

Description of song.

Total of the six records from two males was analyzed. The calling song consists of several phrases in different duration (Figure 4b). The phrases begin with thick pulse and continue with low intensity in the first part of the phrase. The following part of phrases consists of song elements with higher intensity (Figure 4c). Phrases duration varies between 3.53-25.95 s (11.32 ± 5.53). Syllable duration varies between 33 and 40 ms (36.72 ± 1.28) with an interval of 0-3 ms (1.52 ± 0.09). Oscillographic analyses showed that each syllable contains different number of parts which are divided by the very short interval (lower than 2 ms). First and last part of a syllable generally consist of 2-4 shorter elements (each of 1 ms), while middle part consists of two longer elements (each of 6-8 ms).
