Bioacoustics of Gryllus (Gryllus) bryanti

Figs 17 , 22 , Table 1 Although not known from the United States , this cricket is endemic to the Bahama Islands, which are less than 80 km away from the closest US location along the Florida coast. Since our earlier publication ( Weissman et al. 2019 ), we have documented this cricket on a third island in the Bahamas : San Salvador, 24.122279° -74.45678°, 23-i-2019 , 1♂ , N. Lee, deposited CAS. Recognition characters and song. Known only from 3 islands in the Bahamas . Body color as in Fig. 22 . Song ( Fig. 22 ) at 25°C typically with widely spaced single pulses delivered at 7–15/10 seconds at a pulse rate of 0.8– 2.1. DNA . GBM05, from Andros Island, multilocus appears ( Fig. 6 , p. 28 ) to be one of several Gryllus near the base of a continental North American species group, distinct from the Afro-Eurasian G. bimaculatus and G. campestris Linnaeus. We interpret this result cautiously, however, as we lack DNA samples for other geographically nearby species G. jamaicensis Walker , G. mandevillus Otte & Perez-Gelabert , and G. bermudensis Caudell (probably most closely related to G. firmus [ Kevan 1980 ]).
