Abstract

The present study provides a systematic account of the Acrididae (Orthoptera) in Sarawak based on voucher specimens deposited at the Sarawak Museum, Sarawak Forestry Research Centre, and UNIMAS Insect Reference Collection. Overall, a total of 20 species of Acrididae was recorded in this study out of 864 voucher specimens examined. A list of the species examined is provided and species distribution in Sarawak is mapped. Traulia azureipennis, is found to be the most abundant and widely distributed species in Sarawak (16.44%), followed by Phlaeoba antennata (11.11%), valanga nigricornis (10.53%) and Xenocantantops humilis (10.53%). Rare species recorded is Mnesiclescrenatus (0.23%). A systematic account and distribution map of each species examined are presented.
