“…Thus, the habitat where we have found it has components already mentioned by other authors as salinity and humidity (Gangwere and Morales-Agacino, 1970) or salinity in the proximity of water reservoirs (Gorochov & Llorente, 2001). Uvarov (1912) mentions this cricket in arid, semi-desert or desert land, but only on saline low grounds covered by small shrubs like Limonium sp.…”

“…171-180 -ISSN: 0367-5041 Semenov, 1915;Fernandes, 1967;Gorochov & Llorente, 2001). In all other areas of distribution, adults have been recorded from late March like in the Western Sahara (Morales-Agacino, 1945, 1947 and Kuwait (Gorochov, 1993); during April as in Transcaspia (Uvarov, 1912;Semenov, 1915) and Afghanistan (Chopard, 1960); May in Transcaspia (Uvarov, 1912;Semenov, 1915), Near East (Fernandes, 1967) with last observations in early July (Uvarov, 1912) reinforcing our observations on adult activities and phenology (see also Table 1).…”

“…On the contrary, we believe that this is not the case, at least in the Iberian Peninsula. Up to now, the records of G.k are sparse between the last decades of the nineteenth and beginnings of the twentieth centuries and are summarised by Gorochov & Llorente (2001). The records are limited to those of Fuente (1894) in Pozuelo de Calatrava (Ciudad Real) and those mentioned by Fernandes (1967) from Quero (Toledo), Villacañas (Toledo) and Uclés (Cuenca).…”

“…The records are limited to those of Fuente (1894) in Pozuelo de Calatrava (Ciudad Real) and those mentioned by Fernandes (1967) from Quero (Toledo), Villacañas (Toledo) and Uclés (Cuenca). The last date in which G.k was captured/recorded in the Iberian Peninsula before the present study is June 1936 in Villacañas (Toledo) (Gorochov & Llorente, 2001) (see also collection of the MNCN, Table 1). We believe that this lack of information is because the species is very rare or rather highly localised.…”

“…This cricket was described from Algeria (Biskra) and the island of Kerkennah (Tunisia) (type specimens kept in the Natural History Museum of Paris) by Finot (1893) and almost simultaneously by Fuente (1894) (Gryllodes macropterus) from Pozuelo de Calatrava (Ciudad Real, Spain) whose type series is currently deposited in the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales of Madrid (MNCN) (Gorochov & Llorente, 2001).…”

Gryllodinus kerkennensis (Finot, 1893) presents a disjunct distribution in the Southern part of the Western Palearctic from North Africa up to Central Asia inhabiting arid, semidesert or desert land mostly associated with saline soils near water sources of lagoons or river beds depressions. The species was not recorded in Western Europe (Iberian Peninsula) since 1936 and up to now it is currently excluded from all red list books for Orthopteran conservation. In this paper we report a few and localised populations of this cricket in Castilla-La Mancha inhabiting sandy shores of hiper-saline lagoons. We also provide information on its biometrics, phenology, ecology and behaviour including data of all collection specimens of the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (MNCN). Because of its audible and particular song, we propose campaigns of night listening points to search for this species in other potential sites where it could be present. We believe that this species may be subject to a high risk of extinction in the Iberian Peninsula, and thus in the whole Western Europe. This is because of their restricted populations and the fragility of its specific habitat. We propose an urgent integral protection and the inclusion of the species in the lists of highly endangered invertebrate species.
