cricket - Cyphoderris monstrosa - male
Copyright © 2014 Matthew Priebe

cricket - Cyphoderris monstrosa - Male
Diamond Lake, Pend Oreille County, Washington, USA
May 16, 2014
Size: 2.5 cm
This was a very interesting cricket. The males were calling all through the underbrush. We found several males and one female looking them over. They were all heavily marked, plump, and lethargic. I am sending more pictures than usual to show all the markings.

Probably Cyphoderris buckelli
I'm about 95% certain this is actually Cyphoderris buckelli due to: 1) the appearance of terminalia (C. monstrosa has much longer palpi and there's no hint of a hook on any of the views of the subgenital plate, 2) the yellowish ventral colouration (C. monstrosa tends to be pinkish underneath, 3) the size - a bit smallish for C. monstrosa, and 4) the timing - mid-May is early for C. monstrosa to be calling, but is about right for C. buckelli. There are several records of C. buckelli from that county as well. A clearer photo of the subgenital plate would be definitive though.

I am certainly no expert.
If you are and want to move it, feel free. I do not have a position on the species to defend. I do appreciate the attention to detail though.

Moving to C. buckelli
Hi Matthew, sorry, my message was a bit overkill - I'm trying to refine the distribution maps of Cyphoderris spp. for my research - hence the anal-retentiveness. Unfortunately moving the record to C. buckelli is not in my power. Metrioptera, do you think you could do this (if you agree) or could you tell me how to gain the functionality of moving records so that I can work on records for this group of insects?

Awesome series of shots!

Excellent, Thanks so much!
That's a new group of crickets for my lifelists.
