What the sources say about this taxon, as written.

description · Plazi

Sound. The song of one male specimen, collected at Bamboo Forest ( 2620 m ) (nr. 2 in Figure 1 ), has been recorded, analysed and plotted into an oscillogram ( Figure 44 ). The calling song consists of a series of ticking sounds, produced by backwards kicking of one of the hind legs. Series last for about 10–30s and consists of about 15–20 (5–40) ticks. When close to each other, males do not show a special rivalry song. It is not known if a specialized courtship song is produced, when a male is close to a female (pers. comm. B. Odé). A closely related species, Heteropternis couloniana , also produces a ticking sound created by the hind tibiae ( Hemp & Hemp 2003 ).
