What the sources say about this taxon, as written.

behaviour · bio.acousti.ca

The song consists of a soft chirping, usually in groups of four syllables that merge together in warm temperatures into short chirps lasting c. 0.2sec. The chirps follow one another in rapid successioj, sounding rather like 'zizizizib'.

behaviour · bio.acousti.ca

In warm sunshine the calling song consists of long sequences of echemes repeated fairly regularly at the rate of about 2-4/s and each usually consisting of 3-5 (very rarely 2 and occassionally 6) syllables. Oscillographic analysis shows that opening hemisyllables are often absent and that the closing hemisyllables usually last about 10-30 ms and are repeated within an echeme at the rate of about 25-35/s. The duration of a single echeme of four syllables is about 100-200 ms and the interval between two echemes is about 100-300 ms. In dull weather and at night the echeme repetition rate can drop to less than 1/s and the syllable repetetion rate to less than 10/s; in such conditions the closing hemisyllable sometimes lasts more than 100 ms and a four-syllable echeme more than 600 ms. The first syllable in an echeme is usually quieter than the remaining ones. Microsyllables are usually absent, but occassionally a few are added at the end of an echeme, especially the opening echeme of a sequence (see Figs 261, 267, 2730.

behaviour · bio.acousti.ca

The song consists of a brief chirp, repeated at a. rate of 2 to 4 times per second, and continued in prolonged bursts lasting several minutes. The sound is rather quiet, and often obscured by the sound of the wind in its exposed habitat. However, when picked up with the aid of a bat detector it is quite distinctive. Males do not congregate, as males of the dark bush-cricket do, but 'duets' can often be heard when the osng of one male interacts with that of another. However, in laboratory experiments such alternating duets have been shown to break down after some time, and the interaction may simply function to enable the males to space themselve sout across the availbale habitat (Latimer, 1981a, 1981b).
