View on Scopus Previously published works of literature were reviewed to prepare the checklist of grasshoppers under the family Acrididae from Nepal. The present checklist of grasshoppers under the family Acrididae includes ۶۹ species belonging to ۴۱ genera, and ۱۸ tribes with ۱۱ subfamilies. Oedipodinae (۱۷) was the most species-richest subfamily followed by Gomphocerinae (۱۲), Catantopinae (۹), Oxyinae (۷), Cyrtacanthacridinae (۶), Acridinae (۶), Eyprepocnemidinae (۴), Coptacrinae (۳), Hemiacridinae (۲), Calliptaminae (۲), and Spathosterninae (۱). This checklist will be also helpful to forecast outbreaks of grasshopper species and apply appropriate management approaches.
