A Check List of Orthoptera (Insecta) of India A CHECK LIST OF ORTHOPTERA (INSECTA) OF INDIA Kailash Chandra, Sunil Kumar Gupta and M. S. Shishodia* Central Zone Regional Centre, Zoological Survey of India, Jabalpur, (M.P.), India *Salarpurkalan, Vidyut Nagar, Gautam Budh Nagar, Uttar Pradesh, India INTRODUCTION The present checklist includes 1033 species / subspecies belonging to 398 genera and 21 families of Orthoptera from India. The order Orthoptera is divided into two suborders namely Caelifera and Ensifera. The suborder Caelifera includes short-horned grasshoppers, locusts and grouse locusts, however Ensifera includes long-horned grasshoppers, katydids, crickets and mole crickets. The suborder Caelifera is represented by 518 species under 214 genera and 11 families viz. Acrididae (285 species and 134 genera), Dericorythidae (04 species and 02 genera), Pamphagidae (01 species and 01 genus), Chorotypidae (09 species and 07 genera), Eumastacidae (08 species and 04 genera), Mastacideidae (08 species and 02 genera), Pyrgomorphidae (47 species and 21 genera), Tetrigidae (137 species and 39 genera), Tridactylidae (19 species 04 genera). The suborder Ensifera includes 515 species, 184 genera and 10 families namely Gryllidae (231 species and 72 genera), Trigonidiidae (22 species and 08 genera), Gryllotalpidae (08 species and 02 genera), Mogoplistidae (14 species and 07 genera), Myrmecophilidae (04 species and 01 genera), Prophalangopsidae (01 species and 01 genus), Rhaphidophoridae (14 species and 04 genera), Schizodactylidae (03 species and 01 genus), Anostostomatidae (06 species 05 genera), Gryllacrididae (49 species and 14 genera), Stenopelmatidae (03 species and 01 genus) and Tettigoniidae (160 species and 68 genera).

  • (Orthoptera) and Their Phylogenetic Implications Within Tetrigoidea
    Mitochondrial genomes of eight Scelimeninae species (Orthoptera) and their phylogenetic implications within Tetrigoidea Ran Li1, Xiaoli Ying1, Weian Deng2, Wantao Rong2 and Xiaodong Li2 1 College of Life Sciences, Nanjing Normal University, Nanjing, China 2 School of Chemistry and Bioengineering, Hechi University, Yizhou, China ABSTRACT Scelimeninae is a key member of the pygmy grasshopper community, and an important ecological indicator. No mitochondrial genomes of Scelimeninae have been reported to date, and the monophyly of Scelimeninae and its phylogenetic relationship within Tetrigidae is still unclear. We sequenced and analyzed eight nearly complete mitochondrial genomes representing eight genera of Scelimeninae. These mitogenomes ranged in size from 13,112 to 16,380 bp and the order of tRNA genes between COII and ATP8 was reversed compared with the ancestral order of insects. The protein-coding genes (PCGs) of tetrigid species mainly with the typical ATN codons and most terminated with complete (TAA or TAG) stop codons. Analyses of pairwise genetic distances showed that ATP8 was the least conserved gene within Tetrigidae, while COI was the most conserved. The longest intergenic spacer (IGS) region in the mitogenomes was always found between tRNASer(UCN) and ND1. Additionally, tandem repeat units were identified in the longest IGS of three mitogenomes. Maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian Inference (BI) analyses based on the two datasets supported the monophyly of Tetriginae. Scelimeninae was classified as a non-monophyletic subfamily.

Orthoptera, cricket, grasshopper, community ecology, disturbance, grassland, woodland zone, Lazovsky Reserve, Russian Far East, habitat heterogeneity, habitat specifity, Palaearctic Abstract. We investigate orthopteran communities in the natural landscape of the Russian Far East and compare the habitat require- ments of the species with those of the same or closely related species found in the largely agricultural landscape of central Europe. The study area is the 1,200 km2 Lazovsky State Nature Reserve (Primorsky region, southern Russian Far East) 200 km east of Vladi- vostok in the southern spurs of the Sikhote-Alin Mountains (134°E/43°N). The abundance of Orthoptera was recorded in August and September 2001 based on the number present in 20 randomly placed 1 m² quadrates per site. For each plot (i) the number of species of Orthoptera, (ii) absolute species abundance and (iii) fifteen environmental parameters characterising habitat structure and micro- climate were recorded. Canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) was used first to determine whether the Orthoptera occur in ecol- ogically coherent groups, and second, to assess their association with habitat characteristics. In addition, the number of species and individuals in natural and semi-natural habitats were compared using a t test.

INTRODUCTION survey conducted by the author in June-July, 2014, from Barkhela, Kolhan Forest Range, Jharkhand is a state in eastern India. Jharkhand Chaibasa district of Jharkhand. The order shares its border with the states of Bihar to the Orthoptera is divided into two suborders namely north, Uttar Pradesh and Chhattisgarh to the west, Caelifera and Ensifera. The suborder Caelifera Orissa to the south, and West Bengal to the east. includes short-horned grasshoppers, locusts and It is situated between 23.3500° N Latitude and grouse locusts, however Ensifera includes long- 85.3300° E Longitude. The Jharkhand state is horned grasshoppers, katydids, crickets and mole very rich in biodiversity and is the part of the crickets. The suborder Caelifera is represented by Chhotanagpur plateau, province of the peninsula 518 species under 214 genera and 11 families biogeographic zone. The recorded forest area is from India. Among Acrididae 285 species and 2.36 million hectares, which constitutes 29.61% of 134 genera were recorded from India (Kailash the geographical area of the state. Reserve forests Chandra et al., 2010). A notable taxonomical work constitute 18.59%, protected forests 81.27% and on Acrididae was made by Kirby (1914) in the unclassed forest a mere 0.14%. there are three series ‘Fauna of British India’ and he divided types of forest viz., Tropical moist deciduous, the family Acrididae into eight subfamilies.

  • Orthoptera, Acrididae, Oedipodinae) Reveal Convergence of Wing Morphology
    Zoologica Scripta Phylogenetic analyses of band-winged grasshoppers (Orthoptera, Acrididae, Oedipodinae) reveal convergence of wing morphology MARTIN HUSEMANN,SUK NAMKUNG,JAN C. HABEL,PATRICK D. DANLEY &AXEL HOCHKIRCH Submitted: 17 September 2011 Husemann, M., Namkung, S., Habel, J.C., Danley, P.D. & Hochkirch, A. (2012). Accepted: 10 April 2012 Phylogenetic analyses of band-winged grasshoppers (Orthoptera, Acrididae, Oedipodinae) doi:10.1111/j.1463-6409.2012.00548.x reveal convergence of wing morphology. —Zoologica Scripta, 41, 515–526. Historically, morphological traits have been used to examine the relationships of distantly related taxa with global distributions. The use of such traits, however, may be misleading and may not provide the resolution needed to distinguish various hypotheses that may explain the distribution patterns of widely distributed taxa. One such taxon, the Oedipo- dine grasshoppers, contains two tribes principally defined by wing morphologies: the Bry- odemini have broad wings whereas Sphingonotini are narrow-winged. Through the use of morphological features alone, hypotheses concerning the evolution of these tribes cannot be distinguished. To differentiate hypotheses that may explain the distribution of Oedipo- dines, such as vicariance, natural dispersal and anthropogenic translocation, we used two mitochondrial and three nuclear gene fragments to reconstruct the phylogenetic relation- ships within and between the two tribes, and employed a molecular clock to evaluate the hypotheses of vicariance and dispersal. Our results clearly reject monophyly of the tribes and revealed monophyletic Old and New World clades, which is in agreement with previ- ous molecular studies. The split between both clades was dated at 35 Ma (±12 Ma). This clearly rejects the vicariance hypothesis and supports a single invasion via the Beringian land bridge.

  • Observations on Trophic Levels of Ditterent Groups of Insect Population Vis a Vis Insect Pollinators in a Protected Forest Ecosystem in the Western Himalayas
    J. Exp. Zool. India Vol. 18, No. 1, pp. 271-277, 2015 ISSN 0972-0030 OBSERVATIONS ON TROPHIC LEVELS OF DITTERENT GROUPS OF INSECT POPULATION VIS A VIS INSECT POLLINATORS IN A PROTECTED FOREST ECOSYSTEM IN THE WESTERN HIMALAYAS Manoj Kumar Arya Insect Biodiversity Laboratory, Department of Zoology, D.S.B. Campus, Kumaun University, Nainital - 263 001, India. e-mail : [email protected] (Accepted 31 December 2014) ABSTRACT : Investigations were undertaken to know trophic level composition of different groups of insect population in a Protected Area in the Western Himalayas, India. Observations revealed that herbivorous species showed rich population i.e. 67.26% and 65.76% of the total collection of species of insect for first year and second year of study, respectively followed by predators (23.89% and 26.13%), saprophagous (2.65% and 6.31%) and omnivores (2.65% and 1.80%), respectively. Similarly, on the basis of total number of individuals of insect population recorded, herbivores constituted the maximum of all the insects i.e. 68.94% and 64.71% for first year and second year of study, respectively, followed by predators 23.74% and 26.38%, saprophagous 5.94% and 7.22%) and, omnivores 1.40% and 1.69% during the first year and second year of study, respectively. Across the study period, maximum numbers of herbivorous insects (50.12% individuals) were recorded during the rainy season followed by summer season (34.25% individuals) and winter season (15.63% individuals), respectively. During the entire study period, a total of 57 species of insects were found to facilitate the pollination processes.

  • The Potential of Paranosema (Nosema) Locustae (Microsporidia: Nosematidae) and Its Combination with Metarhizium Anisopliae Var
    The potential of Paranosema (Nosema) locustae (Microsporidia: Nosematidae) and its combination with Metarhizium anisopliae var. acridum (Deuteromycotina: Hyphomycetes) for the control of locusts and grasshoppers in West Africa Von der Naturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Universität Hannover zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktors der Gartenbauwissenschaften -Dr. rer. hort.- genehmigte Dissertation von Agbeko Kodjo Tounou (MSc) geboren am 25.11.1973 in Togo 2007 Referent: Prof. Dr. Hans-Michael Poehling Korrerefent: Prof. Dr. Hartmut Stützel Tag der Promotion: 13.07.2007 Dedicated to my late grandmother Somabey Akoehi i Abstract The potential of Paranosema (Nosema) locustae (Microsporidia: Nosematidae) and its combination with Metarhizium anisopliae var. acridum (Deuteromycotina: Hyphomycetes) for the control of locusts and grasshoppers in West Africa Agbeko Kodjo Tounou The present research project is part of the PréLISS project (French acronym for “Programme Régional de Lutte Intégrée contre les Sauteriaux au Sahel”) seeking to develop environmentally sound and sustainable integrated grasshopper control in the Sahel, and maintain biodiversity. This includes the use of pathogens such as the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae var. acridum Driver & Milner and the microsporidia Paranosema locustae Canning but also natural grasshopper populations regulating agents like birds and other natural enemies. In the present study which has focused on the use of P. locustae and M. anisopliae var. acridum to control locusts and grasshoppers our objectives were to, (i) evaluate the potential of P. locustae as locust and grasshopper control agent, and (ii) investigate the combined effects of P. locustae and M. anisopliae as an option to enhance the efficacy of both pathogens to control the pests.
