Gryllus sp.

Comments. Identification at species level is not given because most of the records for Central and South America have been determined as Grylllus assimilis ( Fabricius, 1775) when in fact this species probably does not have such a wide distribution. Most of the records were made in base of the original description by Saussure (1874, 1877) and they can actually be little studied species.

A revision of the genus Gryllus is badly needed. Significant contributions have been made by David et al. (2003), Desutter-Grandcolas & Robillard (2003) and Martins & Zefa (2011). Provisionally, we provide figures of the specimen, which could belong to any of the species described for the region.

Specimens examined. 1 male ( Figs. 22 View FIGURE 22 A–D) (PSO-CZ).
