About Prognathogryllus robustus
Prognathogryllus robustus was originally described from a female from Kauaʻi’s high central plateau.
Natural history and identification
Prognathogryllus robustus was originally described from a female from Kauaʻi’s high central plateau. Hebard later recorded both sexes from collections at 3,500–4,000 feet in April 1919 and documented their different forewing proportions. The material anchors this cricket to upland Kauaʻi, but those historical captures do not establish that it remains common there. A species-specific song, diet, or breeding season is not supplied by the reviewed treatment.
