New or interesting records of Palearctic Orthoptera (Insecta)

Abstract

The author reports some interesting Orthoptera from Palearctic region, namely: Pezodrymadusa subinermis Karabag, 1961, Montana stricta Zeller, 1849 from Sardinia, Paranocarodes sulcatus (I. Bolivar, 1912) from Armenia, Scintharista notabilis notabilis (Walker, 1870) from Azores, Brachycrotaphus tryxalicerus (Fischer, 1853) from Egypt, and Euchorthippus declivus (Brisout, 1848) from Sardinia (Italy). Additionally, he establishes the synonymies Uvarovistia rammei Katbeh Bader et Massa, 2001 = Eupholidoptera peneri Kaltenbach, 1969; Pterolepis pedata A. Costa, 1882 = Rhacocleis berberica dubronyi Baccetti, Massa et Canestrelli, 1995 from Lampedusa Is. (Sicily). With new material he supports the conclusion of Nadig (1981) that Stenobothrus nadigi La Greca, 1986 is a synonym of S. ursulae Nadig, 1986 from Piedmont and Aosta Valley (Italy). He also describes the unknown male of Ocnerosthenus verrucosus (Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1882) and the unknown female of Orchamus kaltenbachi Massa, 2009. Finally, he records a female of Anadrymadusa ornatipennis (Ramme, 1926) from Patmos Is. (Greece), and a female of Eupholidoptera uvarovi (Karabağ, 1952) from Kassos Is. (Greece).
