Abstract
A taxonomic survey was conducted on orthopteran insects across various
locations in Udalguri district of Assam, situated within the Bodoland
Territorial Region (BTR) on the Indo-Bhutan border in Northeast India. From
2020 to 2023, meticulous collection efforts yielded 325 specimens, identifying
a total of 18 unique species, each belonging to a distinct genus. These
fascinating insects represent the families Acrididae, Tettigoniidae, and
Pyrgomorphidae. The survey provides a detailed discussion of each species,
highlighting its distinct characteristics, economic significance, and
bio-ecological data. This comprehensive study sheds light on the previously
unknown diversity of orthopteran species in this region, offering valuable
insights into their ecological roles and potential impacts on local ecosystems.
