A new species of Indigryllus (Orthoptera, Gryllidae, Eneopterinae, Xenogryllini) from Kerala, India, with first data on acoustics and natural habitat
Résumé
In India, the cricket subfamily Eneopterinae is represented by two known genera, Xenogryllus Bolívar, 1890 and Indigryllus Robillard & Jaiswara, 2019. The latter was recently described and is known from a single species I. kudremu Robillard & Jaiswara, 2019 from Karnataka, India. The species was known exclusively from its morphological features and there existed no information on its biology and acoustic features. The present study is a step ahead in understanding the natural history and acoustic signalling in the genus. Based on a collaboration initiated by citizen science observations on the website iNaturalist, we describe a new species, Indigryllus sagani sp. nov. from Kerala, India, with details on its habitat and acoustic signals.
