description
Description of song. Four records from two males were examined. The calling song consists of a series of regular phrases (Figure 9 B) with an interval of 1.251 – 5.700 ms (2.983 ± 0.98). Phrase durations vary between 407 – 466 ms (439.6 ± 17.36) and phrases consist of 7 – 9 (8.12 ± 0.45) syllables. Generally, the first and second syllables at the beginning of the phrase are quieter and shorter (having low amplitudes) than the following syllables (Figure 9 C). Syllables period duration varies between 49 and 67 ms (57.74 ± 3.58) without an interval. Oscillographic analyses show that each syllable contains two parts (except first syllable) (Figure 9 D). First part of the syllable is relatively shorter and quieter than the second part of the syllable (Figure 9 D). First part of the syllable lasts for 14 – 18 ms (15.71 ± 1.32) and is followed by a second part after an interval of 0 – 3 ms (1.42 ± 0.42). The second part of syllable is much louder (except of the first syllable) and longer than the first part; its duration varies between 28 – 44 ms (33.51 ± 3.77) and includes 22 – 36 (28.18 ± 3.12) pulses (Figure 9 D).
distribution
Distribution. P. grandis is endemic to Anatolia. It was recorded only from Antalya province of Turkey (Figure 9 A) (Karabağ 1952; Karabağ 1958; Çıplak 2000; Ünal 2018). Song recording.

Mol) and calling song recorded from two males at 26 – 27 ° C in the field (by D. Şirin & M. S. Taylan).
