In Guadarrama mountains (Madrid, Spain) a new species of cricket was found: Nemobius interstitialis . It lives mainly underground and was caught with special traps. It is closely related to Nemobius sylvestris, and can be distinguished by the absence of a tympanum in the outer margin of the foreleg tibiae and a peculiar design of venation of the forewing of the male.
