First report of Sciobia (Thliptoblemmus) caliendrum caliendrum (Fischer, 1853) in Algeria (Orthoptera, Gryllidae)

The Sciobia Burmeister, 1838 genus, one of the family Gryllidae, didn't receive many studies in Algeria, although there are 13 known species. This study presents the first observation of a further species of Sciobia in the Ouarsenis region, Tissemsilt (Northwest Algeria), during the study period (2019–2022). These results led to the counting of six adult individuals (five males and one female), and the species was identified as Sciobia (Thliptoblemmus) caliendrum caliendrum (Fischer, 1853). It is considered as the first report in Algeria and the second in North Africa after it was limited to Morocco.
