Family GRYLLIDAE: Crickets 

 Gryllus Linnaeus 



G. assimilis Fab. SI: Immature individuals of the form pennsylvanicus Burm. 

 live over winter under stones, etc., and mature in early May, when the males 

 may be heard singing. The ovipositor in this form is short. The form 

 hictuosus Serville appears about midsummer from eggs hatched in the spring, 

 and survives until Nov. It has a long ovipositor. Long-winged examples of 

 assimilis are often attracted by light. On Sep 26, 1908, a male and a female 

 were seen eating a living Arphia siilphurea. They are more commonly 

 vegetable feeders, perhaps from necessity. 



LI : Form pennsylvanicus from Rockaway, Je ; Half Way Hollow Hills, Jl ; 

 Nissequogue, Je ; Orient, Je, Lath ; Yaphank, Jl ; Gardiners I., Je. Form 

 luctuosus from Aqueduct, Hempstead, Fire L, Central Pk., Selden, Yaphank, 

 Amagansett, Gardiners I., Cold Sp. Harb., Southold, Orient, Aug-Sep. 



Away from the coast and at a greater altitude assimilis is smaller and 

 darker-colored, and is represented by the form neglectus Scudd. Specimens 

 have been examined as follows : West Pt. ; Debruce ; Callicoon ; (Dliverea ; 

 Keene Val., Not ; Wilmington ; Ithaca ; W. Danby ; Potter Swamp ; Conesus 

 L. ; Portageville ; near Olean. 



G. domesticus L. West Farms (Akhurst, in Psyche, voL9, p. 293, 1902).^ SI: 

 This introduced species is usually not common, but is occasionally met with in 

 houses, where it is sometimes regarded as a nuisance. Where there is sufficient 

 heat it may be heard singing in winter, the song being much more rapid than 

 that of assimilis. The long-winged form is sometimes found about lights. 

 LI: Brooklyn, taken on a sugared tree, Aug 19, 1916; Flatbush, Nov 25, 1909, 

 found in a cellar, Zab ; Yaphank, Jl, 1909, in a house,
