Abstract

Six species of small crickets of the subfamily Nemobiinae are found in Canada. These are Allonemobius fasciatus (DeGeer), A. allardi (Alexander & Thomas), A. g. griseus (E. M. Walker), A. maculatus (Blatchley), Neonemobius palustris (Blatchley), and Eunemobius c. carolinus (Scudder). Synonymy is given and all distinctive taxonomic characters such as hind tibiae, concealed male genitalia, female ovipositors, male stridulatory veins, and audiospectrograms of stridulation are described and illustrated. A key to species is given and distribution maps are included.
