The subspecies nigrovittatus spatulatus Roberts is raised to species status. The fourteen species are placed into the four following species groups: Anomalus group, Illa group, Nigrovittatus group, and Scudderi group.

Type specimens from the collection of the polyneopteran insect orders (Dermaptera, Blattodea, Orthoptera, Phasmatodea) deposited in the Department of Entomology, National Museum, Prague are catalogued. We provide precise infor- mation about types of 100 taxa (5 species of Dermaptera, 3 species of Blattodea, 4 species of Phasmatodea, 55 species of Caelifera, and 33 species of Ensifera), including holotypes of 38 taxa.

Obenberger is discussed in detail. Only the name Podisma alpinum carinthiacum Obenberger, 1926 is available since the publication by OBENBERGER (1926a). ‘Stenobothrus (Stauroderus) biguttulus ssp. bicolor Charp. 1825’ and ‘Stenobothrus (Stau- roderus) ssp. collinus Karny’ sensu OBENBERGER (1926a,b) refer to Gryllus bicolor Charpentier, 1825 and Stauroderus biguttulus var. collina Karny, 1907, respectively, which both have to be considered available already since their original descriptions by CHARPENTIER (1825) and KARNY (1907).

Boli- var), Fruhstorferiola okinawaensis (Shiraki) (2n d=21, NF =21), and Sinopodisma punctata Mist- shenko (2nd = 21, all chromosomes are two-armed) were studied. Cytogenetic similarities and differ- ences between particular species are discussed using the C-banding method. Key words Podisminae grasshoppers, Chromosome, Karyotype, C-banding. Karyotypes of 8 species of grasshopper belonging to the subfamily Podisminae have been de- scribed from Japan (Inoue 1985). However, the C-banding technique was not commonly used in the cytogenetic studies of Japanese Podisminae. Nevertheless, it has been used extensively with Or- thoptera to discriminate individual chromosomes and their behaviour during meiosis (Gosalvez et al. 1997). The application of this technique has produced new cytogenetic markers for comparative karyology of Podisminae (Westerman and Hewitt 1985, Bugrov et al. 1994, Bugrov 1995, Bugrov and Sergeev 1997). Moreover, the C-banding method gives information about the rates and features of chromosome evolution in groups of closely related species (Cabrero and Camacho 1986). -

Spur-Throated Grasshoppers of the Canadian Prairies and Northern Great Plains
16 Spur-throated grasshoppers of the Canadian Prairies and Northern Great Plains Dan L. Johnson Research Scientist, Grassland Insect Ecology, Lethbridge Research Centre, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Box 3000, Lethbridge, AB T1J 4B1, [email protected] The spur-throated grasshoppers have become the most prominent grasshoppers of North Ameri- can grasslands, not by calling attention to them- selves by singing in the vegetation (stridulating) like the slant-faced grasshoppers, or by crackling on the wing (crepitating) like the band-winged grasshoppers, but by virtue of their sheer num- bers, activities and diversity. Almost all of the spur-throated grasshoppers in North America are members of the subfamily Melanoplinae.

Orthoptera, Acrididae, Dichroplus fuscus, Robertsonian fusion, grasshoppers, chiasmata, trivalents, chromosomal cline Abstract. Robertsonian fusions account for many of the changes in the evolution of the orthopteran karyotype; in their origin, a centric fusion is involved between two acro-telocentric chromosomes, forming a single bi-armed chromosome. It is usual for these rearrange- ments to be associated with profound changes in meiosis, such as modification in frequency and distribution of chiasmata.Dichroplus fuscus is a South American grasshopper with a wide distribution. In this work we analyzed nine populations from Misiones Province, north-eastern Argentina. This species presents a standard karyotype of 2n = 23/24 (♂/♀) with all chromosomes acro-telocentric and an X0/XX chromosomal sex determining mechanism. This standard karyotype has been modified by the occurrence of two Robertso- nian fusions involving chromosomes 1/3 and 2/4; values of fusions per individual (fpi) show a significant increase in the presence of karyotypic polymorphisms towards southern populations. -

Study on Eighteen Species of Japanese Acrididae (Orthoptera)l) By Eizi Momma Zoological Institute, Faculty of Science, Hokkaido Imperial University, Sapporo (W1~th 36 Figures) During these forty years the cytological investigations of the Acridian grasshoppers have been extensively carried out by a number of investigators, and considerable contributions have been devoted to the advance of animal cytology. The orthopteran insects, especially those of the Acrididae, have proved very favourable as material for the study of chromosomes, on account of the fact that their chromosomes are large in size having clear morphological features and are relatively low in number. Over one hundred of species have been cytologically investigated since the pioneer work of McClung ('00) in this field, demonstrating many valuable and • important facts and their bearing on problems of general cytology. One of the important matters confronting the students of Acridian chromosomes is to determine the interrelationships of the chromosome complexes in the different species. The extensive studies by McClung and his colleagues have established a great uniformity and constancy of the chromosome numbers in the Acrididae. Efforts made by these investigators greatly served to homologize individual chromosomes in closely related genera and species. Recently Ramachandra Rao (,37) has made a comparative study of the chromosomes in eight genera of Pyrgomorphinae (Acrididae), in view of finding the chromosomal relationship exist ing among the members of this subfamily.
