The advertisement calls of L.jinshaensis sp. nov. were recorded from the holotype specimen CIBJS20200516004 in the field on 16 May 2020 in Lengshuihe Nature Reserve, Jinsha County, Guizhou Province, China. The advertisement call of L.jinshaensis sp. nov. was recorded in the stream at ambient air temperature of 20 °C and air humidity of 87%. A SONY PCM-D50 digital sound recorder was used to record within 20 cm of the calling individual. The sound files in wave format were resampled at 48 kHz with sampling depth 24 bits. Calls were recorded and examined as described by Wijayathilaka and Meegaskumbura (2016) (link). Call recordings were visualised and edited with SoundRuler 0.9.6.0 (Gridi-Papp 2003–2007) and Raven Pro 1.5 software (Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, Ithaca, NY, USA). Ambient temperature of the type locality was taken by a digital hygrothermograph. For comparison, bioacoustics data for the related species L.bijie and L.chishuiensis were obtained from Li et al. (2020a) (link).
