Systematics and Species Composition of the Short-horned Grasshoppers and Locusts (Orthoptera: Acrididae) of Sarawak

This study provides a systematic account of the family Acrididae (Orthoptera) of Sarawak based on the voucher specimens allocated in the Forest Research Centre Sarawak and UNIMAS Insect Reference Collection. A total of24 species from 18 genera representing six subfamilies of acrid ids were known to...
