FIGURE 248. Regression of hind femur length vs. ovipositor length in G. saxatilis vs. G. leei from populations separated by only 14 kilometers.
FIGURE 239. Calling song (R15-372) of G. saxatilis from type locality (S15-114), recorded at 25.5°C.
FIGURE 15. Five second calling song of G. locorojo: (R12-3) commercial pet store, at 22°C.
FIGURE 240. Regression of hind femur length vs. ovipositor length in G. saxatilis vs. G. leei.
FIGURE 1. Labeled parts of a Gryllus calling song, here in a male with 3 pulses/chirp. In this paper, all reported pulse rates are calculated between the last 2 pulses in a chirp.
FIGURE 21. Known distribution for G. brevicaudus. Star shows type locality.
FIGURE 241. Holotype male (left) G. saxatilis. Female (right) also from type locality (S97-62)
FIGURE 242. Known US distribution of G. saxatilis.
FIGURE 243. Color variation in G. saxatilis, moving left to right: left long hind winged ‘G. mohave’ (Baker, CA S03-38); middle long hind winged ‘G. mohave’ (Kingman, AZ, S92-113); right G. saxatilis (Fresno Co., CA, S01 97).
FIGURE 244. Distribution map of file tooth number in G. saxatilis. Counts vary from 122 (Tulare Co., CA, S03-28 to 190 (Big Pine, CA, S16-18).
FIGURE 236. Five second waveforms of calling songs of (A) G. saxatilis, (B) G. leei, (C) G. makhosica, and (D) G. navajo. G. saxatilis: (R15-372) from type locality (S15-114), at 25.5°C. G. leei: (R17-7) from type locality (S17-6), at 24.5°C. G. makhosica: (R09-95) from type locality (S09-89), at 24.5°C. G. navajo: (R07-61) from Coconino Co., AZ (S07-56), at 25°C.
FIGURE 245. Regression of file teeth number vs. tegmina width in ‘G. tulare’ vs. ‘G. mormoni’ showing absence of overlap.
FIGURE 246. Regression of hind femur length vs. ovipositor length in ‘G. tulare’ vs. ‘G. mormoni’ showing minimum overlap.
