Abstract

This note describes the advertisement calls of Rhaebo haematiticus, recorded in Tobar Donoso, province of Carchi‒Ecuador, providing for the first time a quantitative analysis of its spectral and temporal variables. The calls of three populations were analyzed and compared with calls of Rhaebo blombergi and Rhaebo guttatus, two species of the genus Rhaebo present in Ecuador for which acoustic descriptions were available. The results indicate unique interspecific features and intraspecific variations in the advertisement calls, which should suggest the revision of the R. haematiticus as a complex of cryptic species.
