description
Comparative notes. S. scalaris is a mesophilous species living in more or less dense grass. For this reason, the mountains of Central Asia represent an isolated part of its range, similarly to G. sibiricus. Nevertheless, the songs of males from the Central Tien Shan Mts. do not differ from the songs recorded in Europe, the Caucasus, and Siberia.
