| The males in this species [[stridulate]], rubbing their forewings over each other, creating enough friction to produce a "song". This song, also known as a calling song, is the male's way of attracting [[conspecific]] females to mate with. The song of the long-winged can be heard between frequencies of 8 kHz to 19 kHz and from a distance of {{convert|4|-|5|m}} from the source. The song consists of trisyllabic echeme, a first-order assemblage of syllables, each with a short opening hemisyllable followed by a longer closing hemisyllable. The hemisyllables are the sounds produced by the upward (opening) and downward (closing) stroke of the forewings. The first two syllables are between 15 ms and 16 ms while the third lasts about 25 ms while the opening hemisyllable of the first syllable is very strong and distinctive and that of the third syllable is quiet and soft. These different aspects come together to make a distinct song that can overall be described as a soft sizzling sound.<ref>{{cite journal |author=P. A. P. Oliveira, P. C. Simões & J. A.
