Calling song

A trill with a lower number of syllables at the beginning of the signal. The signal exhibits syllables with a duration of 0.005 ± 0.0004 ( 0.0045 –0.0055), and the interval between syllables is 0.002 ± 0.0003 ( 0.0022 –0.0027) seconds.

Collection site

Santa Vitória do Palmar. Males emit signals from burrows in the ground between 7 pm and 9 pm. Males were recorded and collected in November 2021, at 8 pm, with a temperature of 20°C ( Figures 17F View Figure 17 and 18F View Figure 18 ).

Remarks

The specimens were identified as a new species which the description will be published later. Gryllus sp.

Calling song

A chirp. The signal consists of phrases lasting 0.169 ± 0.015 (0.161–0.2) seconds, with 5.16 ± 0.4 (5–6) syllables each. The interval between each phrase is 0.507 ± 0.02 (0.47– 0.53) seconds, and the peak frequency is 3.41 ± 0.009 ( 3.407 –3.429) kHz.

Collection site

Remarks

Unfortunately, was not possible to identify the species, but the signal is very similar to Gryllus sp.2 , available in Zefa et al. (2022b).
