AA CAVE, Minneryia (Chopard 1916)
8.041700,80.875000
Description
An unspecified site, perhaps a cave (possibly not), yielded one male specimen of an immature cricket (CHOPARD, L 1916: 114-115; AELLEN, SKET & STRINATI, 2001: 1978). SITUATION: At an unspecified location somewhere at a so-called Minneryia, Ceylan (CHOPARD, L 1916: 114) which seems to be a corrupted Minneryia (note 1). CAVE LIFE: CHOPARD, L (1916: 114-115) gives a taxonomical description of the new sub-species Diestrammena gravely ceylonica (Orthoptera: Stenopelmatidae) collected from an unspecified site (note 2) at Minneriya.An unspecified site, perhaps a cave (possibly not), yielded one male specimen of an immature cricket (CHOPARD, L 1916: 114-115; AELLEN, SKET & STRINATI, 2001: 1978).
