The call consists of a multipulsed (12–41 pulses) note with a mean duration of 0.39 s, emitted sporadically, and a dominant frequency around 1179 Hz. By comparing the call of P. melanopogon with other species of the genus it is possible to establish similarities and differences among the analyzed parameters.
