Notes. F. de Zayas collected these specimens at “Sierra de Las Casas,
Isla
de Pinos,
Cuba
” in
1957
and he described this species in
1976
without designating a
type
specimen. We designate four
syntypes
(Article 72.3 of the International Code of
Zoological Nomenclature,
1999
) males and females in the Zayas collection. These crickets inhabit “the marble hills” of the Isle of Youth. Recently they have been seen at “Sierra de Caballos” and “Sierra de Las Casas”. It is likely that this is the only population of these crickets in
Cuba
(L. F. de Armas, personal communication,
