The large crickets are common, especially in muddy places near 
the shore. Specimens with long wings and others with short wings 
occur together, as in the United States, the short-winged ones being 
more numerous. These are G. abbreviatus, but the two kinds are 
considered only dimorphic forms of one species. It varies widely in

color, from brown and mottled to black, and occurs from Massachu- 
setts to Florida. It is very nearly allied to G. Pennsylvanicus 
Burm.= G. neglectus Scud., which often occurs with it in the United 
States, and may, perhaps, also occur in Bermuda, for some of the 
specimens agree pretty closely with the latter. 
The form G. ductuosus, with long wings, was recorded by Uhler. 
Dr. Fr. Dahl recorded the genera Cylindrogryllus Sauss. and 
Orphula Stal, 1873=Stenobothrus.
