Material examined: ÇANAKKALE: Gelibolu, between Fındıklı-Değirmendüzü, 231m a.s.l, N: 40°24.903’ E: 26°31.873’, 24.VIII.2013, 3 ♂♂, 1 ♀, leg.: D. Şirin & E. Bayram (Fig. 7 A). Calling song recorded from one male at 30 ˚C in the laboratory conditions by D. Şirin.

Description of song: Male calling song consists of a series of phrases which range from 9 to12 in number with irregular gaps (Fig. 7 B). The song generally starts with an initial phrase by the lowest amplitude and continues with a single phrase, then double phrases and two triple phrases (Figs. 7 B–C). The song durations vary between 5 and 15 s., although the song consists of irregular gapped phrases, durations of 100–108 ms, and the number of syllables (4–6) is almost similar in a phrase (Fig. 7 D). The pulse number also shows a variety (1–9) in each syllable of one phrase (Fig. 7 D). The first and the last syllables of the phrase are always in low amplitude, whereas the others generally have similar amplitude modulation (Fig. 7 D).
