Orthopterans are popularly known as
grasshoppers, crickets, mole-crickets, pigmy-mole-crickets and grouse
locusts. The Orthoptera of Himachal Pradesh
is known through the records of Hancock (1912, 1915), Bolivar (1914), Uvarov
(1921, 1923, 1925, 1927 & 1942), Ramme (1933) and Dirsh (1958). Later, Chopard (1969), Bhowmik et al. (1977,
1982, 1983, 1984 & 1985), Singh & Tandon (1978), Julka et al. (1982),
Ingrisch & Shishodia (1998), Shishodia & Tandon (2000), Mehta et al.
(2002), Shishodia et al. (2003), Thakur & Mattu (2006) and Shishodia (2008)
added some more species to the fauna of Himachal Pradesh. Recently, Saini & Mehta (2007) reported
140 species from the state.
Remarks: The actual
number of species in Saini & Mehta (2007) should have been 122 and not 140
as reported. Reporting the occurrence of Paraconophyma pcalra (Walk.), Loxoblemmus
fascipes (Walk.), Teleogryllus blennus (Serville) and Gryllus
maculatus Chopard was erroneous. Twelve species are synonyms. Neoconocephalus
palustris (Blatchley) is a doubtful species. Acrida turrita Walk. is an African species.
While revising the work on Orthoptera of
Himachal Pradesh, the authors came across more species, and hence this
checklist with 165 species belonging to 105 genera under 16 families. Of these, 15 species are new records, marked
with single asterisk (*) studied by the first author and species marked with
double (**) asterisk are in the holdings of Zoological Survey of India,
Kolkata. Twenty eight species are
recorded by other workers but not reported by Saini & Mehta (2007). There
are no records from Hamirpur, Kinnaur and Una districts till now.
