Grylloptera and Orthoptera s. str. from Nepal and Darjeeling in the Zoologische Staatssammlung München By Sigfrid Ingrisch Ingrisch, S. (1990): Grylloptera and Orthoptera s. str. from Nepal and Darjeeling in the Zoologische Staatssammlung München. — Spixiana 13/2: 149—182 A list of 79 species and subspecies of Grylloptera and Orthoptera from Nepal and Darjeeling in the collection of the Zoologische Staatssammlung München is given. Most of the material has been collected during the Dierl-Forster-Schacht expeditions to Nepal in 1964, 1967, and 1973. One genus and seven species are new to science. Keys to the species of Orthelimaea and Gryllotalpidae of Nepal and India are provi-ded. New descriptions: Teratura maculata, spec. nov. (Meconematidae); Elimaea (Or-thelimaea) himalayana, spec. nov., Isopsera spinosa, spec. nov., Isopsera caligula, spec. nov. (Phaneropteridae); Gryllotalpa pygmaea, spec. nov. (Gryllotalpidae) ;iVe-palocaryanda latifrons, gen. nov. & spec. nov., Chorthippus (Glyptobothrus) dierli, spec. nov. (Acrididae). New Synonyms: Serrifemora Liu, 1981 = Sikkimiana Uvarov, 1940, Serrifemora antennata Liu, 1981 = Sikkimiana darjeelingensis I. Bolivar, 1914. New combination: Omocestus hingstoni \Jv2irov, 1925 = Chorthippus (Glyptobo-thrus) hingstoni (öv^vov, 1925). Dr. Sigfrid Ingrisch, Entomologisches Institut, ETH-Zentrum, CH-8092 Zürich, Switzerland. Introduction The present study is mainly based on material collected during the expeditions of Dr. Dierl, Dr. Forster, and Dr. Schacht to Nepal in 1964, 1967, and 1973. Some additional material derives from the Ebert-Falkner expedition in 1962 and from various collectors. As most of the insects have been collected with a Hght trap, Tettigonioidea and Grylloidea are rather abundantly represented. In contrast, most species of Acridoidea agree with those recently recorded from Nepal by Chopard & Dreux (1966), Bey-Bienko (1968), Balderson & Yin (1987), and Ingrisch (1987). Tetrigidae are not included in the present study as the systematics of this family is confusing and a revision of generic and suprageneric Classification needed. Routes and locaHties of the 1962 and 1964 expeditions are described in Dierl (1966). Some of the col-lecting sites of 1967 and 1973 correspond with localities of 1964. A list of all localities at which ortho-pterous insects have been collected is given below. The spelling of local names is in accordance with Dierl (1966). Names of provinces have been updated. 149
