Journal of Orthoptera Research 33(1): 41-58. https://doi.org/10.3897/jor.33.108456 Abstract True crickets (Orthoptera, Grylloidea) are often parasitized by tachinid flies (Diptera, Tachinidae). However, the diversity of these parasitoids and their oviposition strategies remain unclear. Although some flies are spe- cialized in locating crickets by their calling songs, such as the phonotactic fly Ormia ochracea (Bigot, 1889), a large portion of the tachinids that attack true crickets show different host search strategies and are adapted to para- sitize other orthopteroid insects as well. However, these parasitoids have a complex and challenging taxonomy that precludes further improvement in the understanding of Tachinidae-Orthoptera interactions. Here, we de- scribed and illustrated seven new host records in Gryllidae and Phalan- gopsidae species from Brazil, including notes on the diagnostic characters of each parasitoid and host. An illustrated identification key to Tachinidae genera recorded in Grylloidea is also provided. Finally, all published re- cords of Tachinidae parasitism in true crickets were revised and are pre- sented in an annotated catalog in order to understand the host range and different oviposition strategies of each parasitoid lineage. Keywords chirping, endoparasitoids, Gryllidae, Neotropical Region, oviposition strategy, Phalangopsidae, phonotactics Introduction The cricket clade (Ensifera, Grylloidea) is one of the most diverse in Orthoptera, with more than 6,000 species distributed worldwide (Cigliano et al. 2023). These orthopterans are a subject of interest to the scientific community and have been commonly used as models in studies, including in those on biogeography (e.g., Vicente et al. 2017, Campos et al. 2021), bioacoustics (e.g., Huber et al. 1989, Hershberger 2021, Zefa et al. 2022), behav- ior (e.g., Ono et al. 2004, ter Hofstede et al. 2015, Lobregat et al. 2019), and speciation (e.g., Otte and Alexander 1983, Otte 1994, Shaw 1996, 2002, Ritchie and Garcia 2005). The most common parasitoids of true crickets are horsehair worms (Nematomor- pha) (Hanelt et al. 2005), parasitic wasps (Hymenoptera, Chal- cidoidea) (Noyes 2019), and tachinid flies (Diptera, Tachinidae) (Stireman et al. 2021). The Tachinidae are well known as endoparasitoids of several groups of insects and other arthropods, showing a great variety of oviposition strategies (Stireman et al. 2021). Gravid females ex- hibit either direct oviposition, where they lay eggs on or within the host, or indirect oviposition, where they place eggs near the host (Nakamura et al. 2013). Direct oviposition consists of laying incubated or unincubated eggs on the host's cuticle or injecting them into the host itself. Indirect oviposition strategies include laying incubated micro-type eggs on the host’s food, which are subsequently ingested by the host, as well as by depositing incu- bated membranous eggs with well-developed first-instar larvae that either wait or actively search for the host. Species of Coleop- tera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera, and Lepidoptera are frequently recorded as hosts of tachinids; however, some tachinid flies are specialized parasitoids of orthopteroid insects (Guimaraes 1977, Arnaud 1978, Tschorsnig 2017). In Orthoptera, the majority of tachinid parasitism records in- volve Acridoidea and Tettigonioidea (Crosskey 1973, 1976, 1984, Guimaraes 1977, Arnaud 1978, Tschorsnig 2017), while such re- cords are scarce in Grylloidea. Despite this, one of the most studied cases of parasitism in Tachinidae involves a specialized parasitoid of field crickets, the phonotactic fly Ormia ochracea (Bigot, 1889) (e.g., Gray et al. 2019). Ormiini flies are distributed worldwide and are parasitoids of Ensifera, locating their hosts by eavesdrop- ping on the calling songs of males using well-developed tympanal organs in the prothorax (Lehmann 2003, Nihei 2015, Gudin and Nihei 2019).

JOURNAL OF ORTHOPTERA RESEARCH 2024, 33(1) A2 have been reported as an important selective pressure in some populations of field crickets (Zuk et al. 2006), even shaping the density and distribution of different morphs in the population. However, only a few species of Ormia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830, parasitize true crickets (Lehmann 2003). Tachinidae species belonging to the New World genera Anisia Wulp, 1890, Calodexia Wulp, 1891, and Exoristoides Coquillett, 1897, are parasitoids of different orthopteroid insects, including a few records in true crickets (Rettenmeyer 1961b, O’Hara 2002, Weissman and Gray 2019). However, most of these species, especially in the Neotropical region, present a complex taxonomy, making it difficult to identify them accurately. This hinders the publication of host records and the expansion of our understanding regarding their host range. Here, we present seven new host records for Anisia, Calodexia, and Ormia species reared from different species of Gryllidae and Phalangopsidae in Brazil. In addition, we provide an illustrated identification key to Tachinidae genera recorded in Grylloidea and a revision of grylloid hosts of Tachinidae in an annotated host catalog that includes an overview of the host use and oviposition strategies of their respective parasitoids. Methods The cricket specimens used in this study were originally col- lected from several localities in Brazil from 1989 to 1991 (except Anurogryllus (Urogryllus) toledopizai de Mello, 1988; see record and catalog below) and then kept in the laboratory to document fur- ther observations regarding their behavior. Meanwhile, tachinid flies emerged from them. Tachinidae and Grylloidea specimens were deposited in the collections of the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de Sao Paulo (MZSP), Sao Paulo, state of Sao Paulo, Brazil, and of the Laboratério de Insetos do Departamento de Biodiversidade e Bioestatistica, Setor de Zoologia, Universidade Estadual Paulista “Julio de Mesquita Filho” (BOTU), Botucatu, state of Sao Paulo, Brazil, respectively. When revising the host records, we found little information regarding the sex and num- ber of parasitized crickets preserved in the BOTU collection (see records and catalog below). We identified the crickets using the taxonomic studies of de Mello (1992), Souza-Dias et al. (2015), Campos et al. (2017), and Redii and Zefa (2017). Photographs of crickets were taken using a Canon camera with a 100-mm macro lens. Serial photographs of different focuses were stacked using Helicon Focus v. 8.2.2. With the exception of Guabamima lordelloi de Mello, 1993, the photographed specimens are not those para- sitized. When possible, we used images of specimens of the same species to illustrate the taxa, as the parasitized specimens were very damaged. We identified the tachinids using keys to the New World gen- era of Blondeliini (Wood 1985) and the Central American genera of Tachinidae (Wood and Zumbado 2010). Calodexia species were identified using the keys proposed by Curran (1934a) and Retten- meyer (1961b). The morphological terminology used in the de- scriptions of the specimens follows Cumming and Wood (2017). Photographs of emerged flies were taken with a Leica MC170 HD digital camera attached to a Leica MZ16 stereomicroscope using the software Leica Application Suite version 4.12.0, stacked with Helicon Focus, and edited in Gimp 2.10. James O'Hara kindly pro- vided pictures of Anisia gilvipes (Coquillett, 1897) and Exoristoides johnsoni Coquillett, 1897, deposited in the Canadian National Collection of Insects, Arachnids and Nematodes (CNC) to illus- trate the identification key. FEM. GUDIN, L.D. DE CAMPOS, D.R. REDU AND EA.G. DE MELLO The host catalog follows an adapted format presented by Guimaraes (1977) and Arnaud (1978). Species are listed alpha- betically according to their respective biogeographical regions with valid names accompanied by authorship. Species names of grylloid hosts are followed by author, year of publication, page number, locality, respective tachinid parasitoid, and notes on the record. When necessary, we included comments and emendations regarding taxonomic nomenclature and reliability of the record in square brackets. To update the catalog of grylloid hosts, only published articles were considered, not including dissertations and theses. We also did not consider the use of sound traps broad- casting cricket calling songs to attract phonotactic orienting para- sitoids as a host record. Moreover, as there are many studies on the host-parasitoid interactions of O. ochracea and to not unnecessar- ily inflate the catalog, we included only the first records in differ- ent localities to cover the distribution of host records. The original literature was checked to ensure the accuracy of the dates, titles, pagination, names, and localities. The classification of Tachinidae follows O'Hara et al. (2020), and the classification of Grylloidea follows the Orthoptera Species File (Cigliano et al. 2023). Results New host records Record of Anisia Wulp, 1890, in Aracamby de Mello, 1992 In July 1990, one female of Anisia (Fig. 1A-C) was reared from an adult of Aracamby (Fig. 1D-G) collected from Caragua- tatuba, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Only one Anisia species has been re- corded in Brazil: A. facialis (Townsend, 1927), described from Itaquaquecetuba, SAo Paulo (Townsend 1927), and reared from Forficulidae (Dermaptera) (Parker 1953). Our specimen, however, differs from it by having the upper half of the fronto-orbital plate, scutum, and scutellum covered with slight golden pruinosity and wings hyaline. The cricket specimen belongs to an undescribed species of Ara- camby geographically close to A. picinguabensis de Mello, 1992; how- ever, the tympana are absent on the foretibia, and the genital struc- tures are somewhat different, mainly in the pseudepiphallic sclerite. Record of Calodexia Wulp, 1891, and Ormia ochracea (Bigot, 1889) in Anurogryllus (Urogryllus) toledopizai (de Mello, 1988) On November 21, 2012, one male of Calodexia (Fig. 2A-C) was reared from a male of A. (U.) toledopizai (Fig. 2J)-M) collected from Cangucu, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. On December 30, 2013, a male and a female of O. ochracea (Fig. 2D-I) were reared from two males of A. (U.) toledopizai collected in Sao Lourenco do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The male of Calodexia does not run to any species in- cluded in the identification keys of Curran (1934a) and Rettenmey- er (1961b). The head and thorax are covered with silver pruinosity; scutum with well-defined and separated vitta, legs yellow, and ab- domen yellow on sides with a large brown vitta widening toward the tip and covering almost the entire dorsal surface of tergite 4. Ormia ochracea can be identified by having ocelli absent, parafacial bare, and tegula black; females with fronto-orbital plate swollen and frontal profile strongly arcuate; males with only one callosity on costal vein between veins R, and R,,,; and male syncercus with apex straight in lateral view (Sabrosky 1953, Tavares 1965). Details regarding the taxonomy and distribution of A. (U.) toledopizai can be found in Redii and Zefa (2017). JOURNAL OF ORTHOPTERA RESEARCH 2024, 33(1) EM. GUDIN, L.D. DE CAMPOS, D.R. REDU AND EA.G.

Record of Calodexia cf. fasciata Curran, 1934a, in Eidmanacris Chopard, 1956 In August 1991, one female of C. cf. fasciata (Fig. 3A-C) was reared from an adult of Eidmanacris (Fig. 3D-G) collected from Apiai, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Calodexia fasciata was described from Barro Colorado Island, Panama, based on a series of females (Curran 1934a). Our specimen runs to C. fasciata in the identification keys of Curran (1934a) and Rettenmeyer (1961b) and fits the characters of the type series, such as the head, thorax, and abdomen covered with silver pruinosity but with an ochraceous tinge on fronto-orbit- al plate, scutum, and dorsal surface of abdomen; scutum with inner postsutural vittae fused; acrostichal setae 1:1; lateral surface of tho- rax with sparse black setulae and legs black. This species also does not have setae on the ventral surface of the mid tibia, which was not possible to verify in our specimen as almost all the legs were lost. The specimen of Eidmanacris from Apiai belongs to an unde- scribed species. Its morphological traits, such as the large dorsal band of the abdomen, supra anal plate latero-posterior projec- tions, forewings with apex rounded, and metanotum covered by bristles, allow us to place this species within Eidmanacris Clade A (Campos et al. 2021). In contrast to other Eidmanacris species found inside holes and caves, the species from Clade A are found in litter and are present only in the Atlantic Forest.

JOURNAL OF ORTHOPTERA RESEARCH 2024, 33(1) 46 Record of Calodexia cf. flavipes (Schiner, 1868) in Aracamby de Mello, 1992 In December 1990, two males of Calodexia cf. flavipes (Fig. 4A-C) were reared from adults of Aracamby (Fig. 4D-G) col- lected from Matinhos, Parana, Brazil. Calodexia flavipes was de- scribed from Brazil based on a single male (Schiner 1868). Our specimens run to C. flavipes in the identification keys of Curran (1934a) and Rettenmeyer (1961b) and fit the characters of the holotype of C. flavipes as described by Aldrich (1929), such as the head, scutum, and abdomen covered with golden pruinosity; scu- tum with inner postsutural vittae fused; legs black with femora yellow at basal half; and abdomen slender and yellow with dark brown vitta. However, our specimens do not have yellow setulae on the ventral surface of the mid- and hind femora. Similar to the previous record, these crickets belong to an undescribed Aracamby species. The main characters that set them apart from the species already described are mainly in the male genitalia and female copulatory papilla. Record of Calodexia cf. flavipes (Schiner, 1868) in Phalangopsidae On June 29, 1989, three males of C. cf. flavipes (Fig. 5A-C) were reared from adults of unidentified Phalangopsidae collected from Boracéia Biological Station, Sales6polis, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Our specimens fit the same characters as those presented in the record described above. It was possible to identify the crickets only at the family level because of their poor condition. Record of Calodexia cf. insolita Curran, 1934b, in Pizacris Souza- Dias & Desutter-Grandcolas, 2015 In July 1989, two females of C. cf. insolita (Fig. 6A-C) were reared from adults of Pizacris (Fig. 6E-G) collected from Sao Fi- délis, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Calodexia insolita was described from Kartabo, Guyana, based on a single female (Curran 1934b). Our specimens run to C. insolita in the identification keys of Curran (1934b) and Rettenmeyer (1961b) and fit the characters of the holotype female, such as the head, thorax, and abdomen covered with silver pruinosity, but with an ochraceous tinge on fronto- orbital plate and scutum; ocellar setae absent; scutum with inner postsutural vittae fused and with postsutural pruinose vitta nar- row; and legs black with femora yellow at basal half. We also found three females of Stylogaster Macquart, 1835 (Diptera: Conopidae), reared from Pizacris in the same locality (Fig. 6D). The locality of the parasitized cricket is close to the type locality of Pizacris carioca Souza-Dias & Desutter-Grandcolas, 2015, in Rio de Janeiro. However, because of its poor condition, it was not pos- sible to determine whether it is the same or an undescribed species. Record of Calodexia cf. venteris Curran, 1934a, in Guabamima lordelloi, de Mello, 1993 In July 1989, one male of C. cf. venteris (Fig. 7A-C) was reared from a male of G. lordelloi (Fig. 7D-G) collected from Fazenda Farol, Mucuri, Bahia, Brazil. Calodexia venteris was described from Barro Colorado, Panama, based on a series of females (Curran 1934a). Our specimen runs to C. venteris in the identification keys of Curran (1934a) and Rettenmeyer (1961b) and fits the char- acters of the type series and the males described by Rettenmeyer FM. GUDIN, L.D. DE CAMPOS, D.R. REDU AND EA.G. DE MELLO (1961b), such as the head, scutum, and abdomen covered with golden pruinosity; ocellar setae weak; scutum with inner postsu- tural vittae fused; lateral surface of thorax with sparse white setu- lae; and abdomen slender and yellow with pruinose bands on ba- sal half of tergites, without dark brown vitta. This species also has important characters in the legs, but it was not possible to verify this in our specimen as all legs were lost. Of the parasitized crickets recorded in this study, the speci- men of G. lordelloi was the only one in good enough condition to be photographed. Moreover, it is the holotype of this species (de Mello 1993) (Fig. 7D, E), which is deposited in the MZSP. Identification key to Tachinidae genera recorded in Grylloidea To date, species from four Tachinidae genera have been record- ed with certainty as parasitoids of true crickets (see catalog be- low): Anisia and Calodexia (Exoristinae: Blondeliini), Exoristoides (Tachininae: Polideini), and Ormia (Tachininae: Ormiini). Anisia and Ormia include 21 and 27 valid species, respectively, distrib- uted throughout the Nearctic and Neotropical regions; Calodexia includes 40 valid species and is endemic to the Neotropical re- gion; and Exoristoides includes five valid species that occur in the Nearctic region and Central America (Wood and Zumbado 2010, O'Hara et al. 2020). These genera can be identified by the follow- ing character sets, adapted from the identification key of Wood and Zumbado (2010): 1 Body color light yellow; thorax with basisternum inflated (also called prosternum by several authors; more details in Gudin and Nihei (2019)) and associated with a pair of tympanal membranes facing the back of the head (Fig. 2G, white arrow); wings of male usually with callosities on costal vein and occasionally on vein R,_, (Fig. 2E, white arrow); abdomen globose................ Ormia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 - Body color brown, dark brown, or gray; thorax with basisternum shaped as a regular sclerite and without tympanal membranes; wings of male without callosities on veins; abdomen usually longer than wide (except in females of Calodexia, with abdomen globose; see 3)............

Discussion Based on the host catalog, there are at least three types of ovi- position strategies used by tachinids that are parasitoids of true crickets: indirect oviposition with ovoviviparous species that lay incubated membranous eggs with well-developed first-instar lar- vae on the host's path (e.g., Exoristoides and Ormia) (Lehmann 2003, O'Hara and Gray 2004), oviparous species that deposit in- cubated microtype eggs on the host's food that are subsequently ingested by the host (e.g., Anisia) (Wood and Zumbado 2010), and direct oviposition with oviparous species that lay incubated mem- branous eggs with well-developed first-instar larvae directly on the cuticle of the host (e.g., Calodexia) (Rettenmeyer et al. 2011). Each oviposition strategy enables exploitation of different groups of true crickets. Ormiini flies, including Ormia species, are frequently reared from mole crickets (Gryllotalpidae) and katydids (Tettigoniidae), which sing at high frequencies (Lehmann 2003). Only three spe- cies of Ormia seem to have adapted to detect lower frequency calls of true crickets: O. depleta, O. dominicana, and O. ochracea (Table 1). Four cricket genera from Gryllidae and Oecanthidae are JOURNAL OF ORTHOPTERA RESEARCH 2024, 33(1) FM. GUDIN, L.D. DE CAMPOS, D.R. REDU AND EA.G. DE MELLO parasitized by Ormia species: Hapithus Uhler, 1864, Anurogryllus Saussure, Gryllus Linnaeus, and Teleogryllus Chopard, 1961. All of them are recognized as good singers with sound records used for species descriptions and bioacoustic studies (e.g., Walker 1977, Riede 1998, Gwynne 2001, Otte and Pérez-Gelabert 2009, Redii and Zefa 2017). Anurogryllus species are known for their long and loud trills, whereas the other three genera usually have species with calls characterized by chirps. Regarding the distribution of the three Ormia species recorded above, Gray et al. (2019) estimat- ed the origin of O. ochracea in southern Mexico and/or the Gulf region of the United States of America (USA), with widespread distribution to the western USA and posterior introduction to Ha- waii. Tavares (1965) extended its distribution southward, provid- ing the first record of its occurrence in Brazil. Ormia depleta is a Neotropical species distributed in Brazil and Peru, with one record in Honduras in Central America (Sabrosky 1953, Tavares 1953), and O. dominicana is widely distributed in Central America and the southern United States (Sabrosky 1953). In the genus Exoristoides, only E. johnsoni (Fig. 8A-D) has been reared from true crickets, but other species parasitize cockroaches (O'Hara 2002). Exoristoides johnsoni is widely distributed in the United States and southern Canada, with some records in Mexico (O'Hara 2002). Although E. johnsoni has a host range similar to that of O. ochracea (Table 1), these flies do not have morphological modifications to locate their hosts by sound. Exoristoides species have the same type of eggs and first-instar larvae as Ormiini and other tribes of the subfamily Tachininae (O'Hara and Gray 2004, Stireman et al. 2019), but their behavior is still unknown. Despite this, the behavior of species with similar oviposition strategies that parasitize orthopteroids has already been verified, such as Tri- arthria setipennis (Fallén, 1810), which is a parasitoid of earwigs (Dermaptera: Forficulidae) (Kuhlmann 1995, Tschorsnig 2017). Kuhlmann (1995) demonstrated that cardboard disks filled with earwig’s scent and feces induce the oviposition of gravid females of T. setipennis, which suggests the existence of chemical substanc- es involved in the search for the host. It is possible that a similar process may be observed in Exoristoides females, but further studies are necessary to clarify this. Among these four genera, Anisia is the most difficult group to investigate because its taxonomy remains obscure and requires revision (Wood 1985). From the Nearctic region, only A. gilvi- pes (Fig. 8E-H) was reared from a true cricket and identified to species level (Aldrich 1928). Anisia species have also been reared from cockroaches, earwigs, grasshoppers (Acrididae), and camel crickets (Rhaphidophoridae) (Gemeno et al. 2002). Wood and Zumbado (2010) recorded the behavior of the Nearctic species A. flaveola (Coquillett, 1897), which deposits minute, unpigmented, and incubated eggs on the host's food. Similar eggs were also re- corded in A. facialis (Townsend) by Parker (1953) and in A. aber- rans (Townsend, 1935) and A. fumipennis (Thompson, 1968) by Thompson (1968). Anisia species have been recorded in Gryllus and Aracamby (Table 1), suggesting that singing is not necessar- ily the main cue used by gravid females to find their hosts. How- ever, even though Aracamby males cannot produce calling songs as they lack important traits of the stridulatory apparatus on the forewings, such as the mirror and harp (de Mello 1992), they are capable of performing low-frequency courtship songs (de Mello 2007). This raises the question of whether Anisia females are able to detect low-frequency sounds produced by their orthopteroid hosts. On the other hand, the use of chemical cues by Anisia fe- males is also possible. As orthopteroids are normally generalists, the main cues used by Anisia females probably do not derive from 95 the host's diet but from the host itself. Similar to what was hypoth- esized for Exoristoides, it is possible that Anisia females use chemi- cal cues derived from their hosts, as the presence of chemical com- munication between crickets is known (e.g., Bell 1980, Thomas and Simmons 2008, Stamps and Shaw 2019). Anisia is the only blondeliine genus known to date that has this oviposition strat- egy. Microtype eggs also occur in the dufouriine genus Oestrophasia Brauer & Bergenstamm, 1889, and most notably in the tribe Go- niini (Marini and Campadelli 1994, de Santis and Nihei 2022), but the morphology of their eggs is completely different. Calodexia is a diverse Neotropical genus associated with army ants whose females are frequently found perched on the foliage ahead of advancing ants, waiting for fleeing orthopteroids (Retten- meyer et al. 2011). Due to the extreme sexual dimorphism found in the genus, the association of males and females is a difficult task. Calodexia species have been reared only from cockroaches and crickets (Rettenmeyer 1961b). Gravid females quickly dart toward the fleeing host, laying incubated membranous eggs with well-developed first-instar larvae directly on the cuticle of the host (Rettenmeyer et al. 2011). As Calodexia species are closely associat- ed with army ants, females rely mainly on visual cues to search for hosts. This kind of search enables them to exploit several groups of true crickets, either chirping or silent species. For instance, males of Aracamby, Eidmanacris, and Pizacris have no forewings modified for stridulation (de Mello 1992, Campos et al. 2017, Souza-Dias et al. 2015); on the other hand, males of Anurogryllus, Eneoptera Burmeister, Ponca Hebard, 1928, and Guabamima de Mello, 1993, have forewings modified for sound production and propagation. These groups are usually found in litter, which exposes them to army ants and, consequently, to Calodexia females. Conclusions In this study, seven new host records in Gryllidae and Phalan- gopsidae species were recorded from Brazil for the first time. At least ten species of Tachinidae in the New World genera Anisia, Calodexia, Exoristoides, and Ormia are parasitoids of Gryllidae, Oecanthidae, and Phalangopsidae species. Only Ormia species use phonotactic cues to locate their singing hosts. Anisia and Exo- ristoides species may rely on chemical cues derived from the host, whereas Calodexia species locate their hosts visually. The host range of Calodexia species seems to be wider than that of species in the three other genera, as the association with army ants allows them to exploit the diversity of cricket species that live in litter. Further studies on the biology of Anisia and Exoristoides species are necessary to improve our knowledge of Tachinidae-Orthop- tera interactions.
