diagnosis · Plazi

Diagnosis . The advertisement call ( Fig. 8 ) is a brief note consisting of five pulses, followed by 14 pulses at a slower rate, with a duration of 0.41 s . It can be distinguished from the brief calls consisting only of a single note, H. adspersus and H. lupiroensis sp. nov . and those consisting only of a series of pulses, H. acuticeps , H. jacobseni sp. nov . , H. nasutus and H. dartevellei . The other species with advertisement calls consisting of an initial note followed by some discrete pulses can be distinguished either by their short duration, less than 0.2 s , as in H. friedemanni sp. nov . , H. howelli sp. nov . , H. igbettensis , H. poweri and H. rwandae sp. nov . , or by the lower number of slow pulses, less than 10, as in H. inyangae and H. viridis . See Table 3 for a summary of call parameters. The snout is shark-like in profile, protruding forward of the mouth in a straight line, before forming a sharp tip. It can be distinguished from the truncated, sharply- or bluntly rounded snout profiles as in H. acuticeps , H. adspersus , H. friedemanni sp. nov . , H. igbettensis , H. jacobseni sp. nov . , H. lupiroensis sp. nov . , H. nasutus , H. poweri , H. rwandae sp. nov . and H. viridis .
