While not a species identification,
this is one of the "dark" type that may represent one or more species. The group is being revised, but species identification right now is difficult (and probably always will be from photographs alone). I'm going to put this one with the other dark ones that look similar. Hopefully we'll be able to fine tune the identification of the Jerusalem Crickets on BugGuide sometime in the near future.
