Spectrographic description Measured calls (N=8) were 32.2-62.8 (48.3) mS in duration and in the 6.1-9.2 (6.8-8.5) kHz frequency range. The frequency track was single-banded and usually slightly rising. It was modulated with 2-4.5 (3) humps with a spacing of 12.4-13.4 (13) mS and a depth of 1-1.5 (1.2) kHz. Modulation troughs were evenly v-shaped, and peaks were sharp-cornered giving a sharp zig-zag appearance.
