Remarks.
This species seems to be based on the fact that Shiraki compared this species with
Velarifictorus asperses
(=
Gryllodes berthellus
Saussure, 1877
) (
Walker, 1869
) when he established it. Dr. Kim, Tae-Woo and Dr. Yang, Jeng-Tze considered it a species of
Velarifictorus
in their personal communication (
Kim, 2012
).
Orthoptera
species file online (Cigliano,
et al.
, 2021) presents a series of photos of the
holotype
deposited in Taipei University. According to those pictures and morphological characters, both
He (2018)
and I think it should be in
Turanogryllus
. When note that
T. eous
, was mentioned by
Bey-Bienko (1956)
and indicated the species under the name
Gryllodes koshunensis
from
Taiwan Island
is outwardly similar to
T. eous
.
