Because call parameters, especially lemiioial tea lures, vary with tempera!uie, male body si/e, breeding urge, aiul interaction between calling males, direct comparisons of published data are often misleading, llowevei, the mating calls of /.. linino- from northeastern India (Assam and Meghalaya) (Roy and Illepfandt, 1993; Roy, 1996) and Nepal (Dubois, 197?) differ considerably from our results, especially in spectral features (dominant band at i- 2 kHz. in contrast to 2-4 kHz in the olhcr popnlaiions). As the detailed siains ol the Lininonecies litnnocharis complex is still unsettled, there may be several cryptic species.
