2001 Gryllus cayensis Walker 2001 . Florida Ent. 84: 700. Holotype male ( Fig. 127 View FIGURE 127 ); allotype female ( Fig. 128 View FIGURE 128 ) (all courtesy Kyle Schnepp): Florida, Monroe Co., Key Largo. Deposited in FSCA Florida State Collection.
Distribution. Known only from southern Florida ( Walker, 2019), and probably extirpated from the Florida Keys by past mosquito spraying that started in 1972 ( Walker 2001).
Recognition characters and song. No calling song. Only woodland inhabiting Gryllus species there although G. assimilis , G. firmus , and G. rubens also occur in southern Florida ( Capinera et al. 2004).
DNA. Multilocus 2018-002, Florida, Monroe Co., Everglades National Park, Long Pine Key, 14-v-2018. 25.401352° -80.660966°. Closest (Gray et al. 2019) to sister species G. fultoni and G. vernalis .
Discussion. The reader is referred to Walker (2001, 2019) for further information, since our exposure is limited. When DAG looked for them in Everglades National Park, in May, 2018, he was rained out on 3 consecutive nights and felt lucky to get 1 adult female to an oatmeal trail ( Fig. 129 View FIGURE 129 ). At least some individuals survived the area’s 2017 flooding from Hurricane Irma.
