FIGURE 3. Facial morphology and male genitalia of Ƒ . dianxiensis . Sexual dimorphism in the frons: a, male; b, female. Male genitalia: c, dorsal view; d, ventral view; e, lateral view. Note. This species is widely distributed in China and common in artificial environments, such as fields or parks, but is not common in natural environments such as mountains. In northern China , the crickets are univoltine and they overwinter as eggs, which is similar to V . aspersus , but the latter species prefers mountains. In southern China , they are bivoltine or polyvoltine, and overwinter as nymphs. The different life cycle has been observed in Zhejiang Prov., China , but individuals belonging to different life cycles do not mate with each other ( He & Takeda 2013 ) and retain their own cycles. Thus, in Zhejiang , the adult niche is: in summer, V . micado (nymph overwinter type ) in mountains; and in autumn, V . micado (egg overwinter type ) in plains and V . aspersus in mountains.
