Discriminant Function Analysis of songs in the Locustella mandelli complex based on 11 variables. Note clear separation of L. chengi sp. nov. and L. mandelli mandelli/melanorhyncha from each other and from the other taxa; tight clustering of L. seebohmi, topotypical L. timorensis (Timor), assumed L. timorensis from Alor, and some L. montis populations; a second L. montis cluster; and L. mandelli idonea with a somewhat intermediate position between the two latter clusters.
