Key Points

This research examines the historical invasion of cave camel crickets in Russia.
Historical analysis of Tachycines species discoveries in Russia
Behavior and ecology assessment of T. asynamorus and T. coreanus
Documentation of species distribution over nearly a century
T. asynamorus was first documented in St. Petersburg at the end of the 19th century.
T. coreanus was identified in the Russian Far East nearly 100 years later.
Data illustrates the synanthropic nature and ecological adaptability of both species.

Abstract

The invasion of the species of the genus Tachycines into Russia occurred at the end of the 19th century, when T. asynamorus was discovered in St. Petersburg. Almost 100 years later, another species of this genus, T. coreanus, was found in the Russian Far East. Data on the history of the distribution of these two synanthropic species are presented, as well as information about their behavior, biology and ecology.
