Summary The mating call of ♂Pelodytes punctatus was analyzed by oscillograms and sonagrams. Above water surface, 2 types of call differing in several parameters are uttered in alternation. There is also a release call. The mating call, not uttered in series and consisting simply of uniform, short, noise-like sound pulses, seems rather undifferentiated compared with the Pelobatinae, a view supported by the more primitive habits ofPelodytes.
