Diversity with position of habitat of pyrgomorphidae brunner von wattenwyl, 1874 (orthoptera: caelifera) from khairpur, sindh

We present diversity and habitat of various species of family Pyrgomorphidae eg: Chrotogonus (Chrotogonus) trachypterus trachypterus (Blanchard, 1836), Tenuitarsus orientalis Kevan, 1959, Poekilocerus pictus (Fabricius, 1775), Pyrgomorpha (Pyrgomorpha) bispinosa deserti Bey-Bienko & Mistshenko, 1951, and Atractomorpha acutipennis (Guerin-Meneville, 1844). The majority of the species were registered for the first time for the locality and the presence of Pyrgomorpha (Pyrgomorpha) bispinosa deserti is confirmed. This study is intended to provide data for future conservation planning, to expand knowledge about dominant/ rare species and to point to the high natural value of the Khairpur Mir’s.
