11. Pteronemobius lineolatus (Brull��, 1835) A former record of this species from Sinj (Rebrina et al. 2015) was based on a misidentification of P. heydenii. Since P. lineolatus is distributed only in the western part of the Mediterranean (Hochkirch et al. 2016), the historical record from Cres Isl. (Schuster et al. 1998) is probably also a misidentification. Thus, we exclude this species from the checklist, until firm evidence of its presence in Croatia is provided., Published as part of Skejo, Josip, Rebrina, Fran, Sz��v��nyi, Gergely, Pusk��s, Gell��rt & Tvrtkovi��, Nikola, 2018, The first annotated checklist of Croatian crickets and grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Ensifera, Caelifera), pp. 1-95 in Zootaxa 4533 (1) on page 44, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4533.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/2615747, {"references":["Rebrina, F., Skejo, J. & Tvrtkovic, N.

O objetivo foi analisar a fauna de grilídeos, sua relação com diferentes composições vegetais, o nível de serapilheira e os efeitos da sazonalidade. Foram realizadas quatro coletas, nas quatro estações do ano, entre abril de 2008 e março de 2009. Foram coletados 503 grilídeos com armadilhas de solo, em oito pontos de coleta. Os insetos coletados foram identificados os seguintes gêneros Anurogryllus, Anurogryllus, Argizala, Hygronemobius, Nemobius, Odontogryllus e Pteronemobius. Os grilídeos não possuem afinidade com solos descampados, diminuindo consideravelmente no local mais impactado. O nível de serapilheira não interferiu na abundância e as mudanças sazonais mostraram importância na variação populacional, entretanto, a diversidade e dominância mostraram-se fiéis às alterações ambientais mesmo em menores valores de abundância. Esses resultados mostram que os grilídeos podem ser indicadores ambientais, pois respondem às modificações do meio. Composition and Diversity of the Crickets Fauna (Orthoptera: Grylloidea) in a Fragment of Atlantic Rain Forest in the Rio de Janeiro State Abstract. This study aimed to analyze the fauna of cricket, its relation with different plant compositions, litter level and seasonality effects. Four collections were performed, in four season of the year, between April 2008 and March 2009. It was collected 503 crickets using soil traps, in eight sampling points. The insects collected were identified as the genera Anurogryllus, Argizala, Hygronemobius, Nemobius, Odontogryllus e Pteronemobius. The crickets have no affinity with uncovered soil, decreasing significantly in more impacted places. The litter level did not affect the abundance and the seasonal changes shown importance in the population variation, however, diversity and dominance showed fidelity to environmental changes even in lower abundance. These results show that crickets may be environmental indicators due to the answers the changes in environment.

Pteronemobius heydenii (Fischer, 1853) P. heydenii is a hygrophilous and thermophilous species inhabiting lowland, but not overshadowed, wetlands, fens, banks of streams, rivers, and pools (Koschuh & Zechner 2000; Bedjanič 2004). In the CR, P. heydenii has been hitherto found only twice in Moravia, near Lednice (Čejchan 1985) and near Bzenec (Koč��rek 2010). A recent finding of only one individual in Bzenec-Př��voz does not confirm an established population in this locality because that individual may represent a migrant. The locality and surrounding area where this individual was found have been carefully and repeatedly searched, but no other specimen of P. heydenii has been found. Given the occurrence of stable populations of the species in the north of Lower Austria (Zuna-Kratky et al. 2009), the species may be expected to occur along the Czech-Austrian border., Published as part of Holu��a, Jaroslav, Ko����rek, Petr, Vlk, Robert & Marhoul, Pavel, 2013, Annotated checklist of the grasshoppers and crickets (Orthoptera) of the Czech Republic, pp. 437-460 in Zootaxa 3616 (5) on page 444, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3616.5.2, http://zenodo.org/record/222524

The present study compared micromorphological differentiation of stridulatory apparatus between the functional right tegmen and non-functional left tegmen, analyzed under scanning electron microscope (SEM), among eight Gryllidae species. The results showed that the main differences were found on the length and shape of files and teeth. The length of stridulatory file and teeth number were lower on the left stridulatory apparatus than that on right stridulatory apparatus in all species. However, the ratio between the length of stridulatory teeth and the interval of stridulatory teeth was significantly higher on the left stridulatory apparatus than that on right stridulatory apparatus in Dianemobius fascipes , Polionemobius taprobanensis , Pteronemobius gifuensis , Teleogryllus occipitali s and Oecanthus longicauda . In addition, the length of stridulatory teeth was positively related to number of stridulatory teeth, however, the interval of stridulatory teeth was negatively related to the ratio between the length of stridulatory teeth and the interval of stridulatory teeth for left and right stridulatory apparatus. Our result illustrated that the length of left and right stridulatory file and teeth length could be an effective character to distinguish species. Left stridulatory apparatus was not entirely degraded than right stridulatory apparatus.

Pteronemobius lineolatus lebt in zwei natürlichen Auengebieten des Kantons Tessin, dem der Maggia und dem der Verzasca sowie ihren Mündungen in den Lago Maggiore. Aufgrund kürzlich entdeckter neuer Standorte entlang dieser beiden Flüsse wurde das regionale Verbreitungsgebiet dieser Art angepasst. Sie benötigt ausgedehnte Kies- und Steinbänke sowie Flächen mit feinkörnigem, sandigem oder schlammigem Material für die Eiablage. Ihre Situation bleibt sehr unsicher, weil jegliche Veränderung der Auendynamik und der Ufer dieser beiden Flüsse eine fatale Wirkung hätte., Published as part of Monnerat C., Thorens P., Walter T. & Gonseth Y., 2007, Rote Liste der Heuschrecken der Schweiz, pp. 1-62 in Umwelt-Vollzug 7 (19) on page 21, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.270238

We describe one new species of Hygronemobius, two new species of Pteronemobius from the highlands of Santa Cruz and San Cristobal and a new genus and species of Trigonidiinae. The new Hygronemobius daphne and the new Trigonidiine, Jarmilaxipha ecuadorica n. gen., n. sp. are believed to have been introduced into Galapagos (from an unknown source) within the last 20 years. We provide songs for all species

Desutter (1990), on her study of Neotropical crickets, recognized three groups of Nemobiinae in that region "Pteronemobius", Araizala (both bearing glandular supero-internal spuron male hindtibia), and Hygronemobius (with nonglandular spur). See Desutter (1990) for the other characters of these groups and her comments on material from the mountains of Colombia. As to the exact position of the Nemobiinae, traditionally it has been placed under the family Gryllidae, but Gorochov (1986) and Desutter (1987,1990) agree that it should be combined with the Trigonidiinae to form a single group (family Trigonidiidae). In the present paper we describe two new South American genera of nemobiines: Amanayara, with two species from the coastal forests of southeastern Brazil, in which the supero-internal spur of male hindtibia is glandular; and Monopteropsis, with two species from the mountains of Magdalena, Colombia, in which that spur is not glandular. The numbers indicating the portions of the phallic complex in figures 1 and 5 refer to the following structures: 1, epiphallic sclerite; 2, median lobe of epiphallus; 3, ectophallic fold; 4, ectophallic apodeme; 5, endophallic sclerite; 6, rami. Terminology follows Desutter (1990). AMANAYARA gen. n.

Acoustical communication was studied in Pteronemobius nigrovus Swan, 1972 and P. bigelowi Swan, 1972. The sound‐producing apparatus and physical structure of the sounds are described for male crickets of both species, and the extent of their inter‐ and intraspecific variation is examined. The effects of some environmental and behavioural factors on sound production are also examined. Findings are discussed in relation to present knowledge of sound reception in Orthoptera and the nature of acoustical communication in the species studied.

A new genus, Dianemobius, is diagnosed, with Eneoptera fascipes Walker, 1869, as type-species, since this species is not congeneric with Pteronemobius concolor (Walker), the type-species (a senior synonym of the originally designated Nemobius tartarus Saussure) of Pteronemobius. Notes on morphology and cytology which indicate the heterogeneity of Pteronemobius are included.

By varying the time difference between capture and release, we can show that swimming crickets Pteronemobius lineolatus are able to time compensate for the apparent azimuthal change of the sun's position.
