Bioacoustics. Tegmina (Fig. 3), stridulatory file (Table 1), and spectrum of the song do not show large differences to the typical Hetrodini pattern. The calling song (Fig. 10D; after Kowalski & Lakes-Harlan 2013) consists of long series of syllables (song type B in Fig. 5). With a mean duration of the series of more than 3 minutes it comes close to a continuous trill (song type A).
