Abstract Objective This study aimed to reveal the mitochondrial genomes (mtgenomes) of Tetrix japonica and Alulatettix yunnanensis, and the phylogenetics of Orthoptera species. Methods The mtgenomes of A. yunnanensis and T. japonica were firstly sequenced and assembled through partial sequences amplification, and then the genome organization and gene arrangement were analyzed. Based on nucleotide/amino acid sequences of 13 protein-coding genes and whole mtgenomes, phylogenetic trees were established on 37 Orthoptera species and 5 outgroups, respectively. Results Except for a regulation region (A+T rich region), a total of 37 genes were found in mtgenomes of T. japonicaand A. yunnanensis, including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes, which exhibited similar characters with other Orthoptera species. Phylogenetic tree based on 13 concatenated protein-coding nucleotide sequences were considered to be more suitable for phylogenetic reconstruction of Orthoptera species than amino acid sequences and mtgenomes. The phylogenetic relationships of Caelifera species were Acridoidea and Pamphagoidea > Pyrgomorphoidea > Pneumoroidea > Eumastacoidea > Tetrigoidea > Tridactyloidea. Besides, a sister-group relationship between Tettigonioidea and Rhaphidophoroidea was revealed in Ensifera. Conclusion Concatenated protein-coding nucleotide sequences of 13 genes were suitable for reconstruction of phylogenetic relationship in orthopteroid species. Tridactyloidea was a sister group of Tetrigoidea in Caelifera, and Rhaphidophoroidea was a sister group of Tettigonioidea in Ensifera.

O Rio Xingu possui um grande potencial hidrelétrico, especificamente na região da Volta da Grande, onde será instalada a Hidrelétrica de Belo Monte. Para a implementação desse empreendimento, foi necessário o estudo de impacto ambiental, considerando a fauna, flora e os aspectos sociais. Com o objetivo de realizar a análise faunística das espécies de gafanhotos da Área de Influência Direta do Empreendimento Belo Monte, realizou-se um inventário, utilizando-se rede entomológica no período de novembro/2007 a agosto/2008. Foram coletados 2652 gafanhotos pertencentes a três famílias, 10 subfamílias, 18 tribos, 42 gêneros e 71 espécies. A análise faunística evidenciou que 74% das espécies foram consideradas raras ou mínimas e, quanto à constância, 54,9% destas foram classificadas como acidentais. Os maiores índices de diversidade e de riqueza dos gafanhotos ocorreram na área A2, que será inundada para formar o lago da hidrelétrica, o que poderá causar extinção local dessas espécies

The Xingu River has a huge hydroelectric potential, specifically in the Volta Grande, where the hydroelectric power station of Belo Monte will be installed. For the implementation of this construction project an environmental impact study was necessary, considering the fauna, flora and the social aspects. In order to perform the faunistic analysis of grasshoppers species in the area of direct influence of the construction project of Belo Monte, an inventory was carried out using entomological nets from November/2007 to August/2008. It was collected 2652 grasshoppers, which belonged to 3 families, 10 subfamilies, 18 tribes, 42 genera and 71 species. The faunistic analysis demonstrated that 74% of the species were classified as rare or minimal and with regard to constancy 54.9% were classified as accidental. The highest levels of diversity and richness of grasshoppers occurred in the area A2 that will be flooded to form the hydroelectric lake, which may cause local extinction of these species

We analyze the academic and professional career of Prof. Dr. Ricardo Arturo Ronderos (19281995) Past President of the "Sociedad Entomológica Argentina" (SEA) (19641979) and Director of its journal (RSEA) (19681985). His main achievements and contributions to entomology as well as to other fields of the natural sciences are referred taking into account his academic and professional activities carried on during four decades (19541994). We also remark his dedication to the training of young researchers, organization of scientific societies, advice to national institutions of science promotion and international entities, mainly those dealing with environmental assessments of projects affecting aquatic macrosystems of Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay.

Se caracterizó la comunidad de acridomorfos (Orthoptera) a través del análisis faunístico y se determinó el tamaño ideal de muestras, en dos áreas del municipio de São Sepé, RS - Brasil. Los ejemplares fueron obtenidos con el auxilio de una red de recolección, siendo recorridas distancias de 5, 10, 15, 20 y 25 m, a fin de verificar cuál sería la mejor distancia para la colecta de acridomorfos. Las recolecciones fueron realizadas entre enero y mayo de 2009. El cálculo de diversidad fue evaluado a través de los índices de dominancia de Simpson, diversidad de Shannon-Wiener, riqueza de Margalef y equidad de Pielou. Los datos fueron analizados mediante un test no paramétrico de distribución libre chi-cuadrado. El material recolectado representó, 947 acrídidos y 20 proscópidos distribuidos en dos superfamilias,12 géneros y 23 especies. Las especies que presentaron índices elevados de dominio, abundancia, frecuencia y constancia fueron para el área A: Dichroplus silveiraguidoi, Notopomala glaucipes y Scotussa cliens, todas pertenecientes a la familia Acrididae. Para el área B, ocho especies presentaron índices significativos Aleuas vitticollis, Amblytropidia sola, Dichroplus conspersus y Dichroplus silveiraguidoi de la familia Acrididae. El mejor tamaño de muestra en términos de precisión estadística fue para 5 m de distancia recorrida. A partir de 25 m se obtuvo el mayor número de individuos y diversidad de especies, pero presentó una elevada desviación estándar y variación. De esta manera, ambos tamaños pueden ser recomendados para la obtención de acridomorfos, dependiendo del objetivo del estudio.

The research aimed to characterize the community of Acridomorphs through faunal analysis, and to determine the ideal sample size for studies with this group, in two areas from municipality of São Sepé, RS, Brazil. The specimens were collected by sweep netting, travelling distances of 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 m, in order to determine which would be the best distance for collecting of acridomorphs. The collections were done between January and May 2009. The calculation of the values of diversity indexes was assessed using the Simpson dominance (D), Shannon-Wiener diversity (H), Margalef richness, and equitability (J’). Data were analyzed by a nonparametric free distribution chi-square test. The collected material represented 947 acridid and 20 proscopids distributed in two superfamilies, 12 genera and 23 species. The species that had high levels of significance in area A were: Dichroplus silveiraguidoi, Notopomala glaucipes and, Scotussa cliens, all Acrididae. In area B, eight species showed significant rates Aleuas vitticollis, Amblytropidia sola, Dichroplus conspersus and Dichroplus silveiraguidoi, all Acrididae. In terms of statistical precision, according to the size of a sample to collect, it was 5 m. The best sample size in terms of statistical precision was 5 m for distance traveled. Starting from 25 m, the greatest number of individuals and species diversity was obtained, but showed a high standard deviation and variance. In this way, both size can be recommended for collecting acridomorphs, depending on the purpose of the study.

Gafanhotos (Orthoptera, Acridoidea) em áreas de cerrados e lavouras na Chapada dos Parecis, Estado de Mato Grosso, Brasil. Foi determinada a composição e abundância de espécies de gafanhotos usando amostragem com rede entomológica durante 3 anos de estudo na Chapada dos Parecis, estado de Mato Grosso. O levantamento foi feito em áreas de lavouras e com vegetação ainda nativa (cerrados) com, respectivamente, 56 e 59 locais inventariados em cada ambiente. Foram coletados 3.031 indivíduos de gafanhotos de 64 espécies distribuídas entre as famílias e subfamílias: Acrididae (49): Gomphocerinae (21), Ommatolampinae (10), Melanoplinae (6), Acridinae (4) Leptysminae (3), Copiocerinae (3), Proctolabinae (1) e Cyrtacanthacridinae (1); Romaleidae (1): Romaleinae (13) e Ommexechidae (1): Ommexechinae (2), além de 1550 ninfas. A diversidade de espécies foi maior no cerrado (61) do que nas lavouras (16), ocorrendo o inverso com relação à abundância onde as espécies Baeacris punctulatus (Thunberg, 1824) e Orphulella punctata (De Geer, 1773) predominaram representando 49,5% do total de indivíduos coletados em toda a Chapada dos Parecis e, juntas, somam 78,8% da abundância registrada nas áreas de lavouras e tem potencial de se tornarem pragas.

Grasshoppers (Orthoptera, Acridoidea) in native savanna and crop areas in Chapada dos Parecis, Mato Grosso State, Brazil. We determined the composition and abundance of grasshoppers using sweep net sampling during three years at the Parecis Plateau, State of Mato Grosso, Brazil. The survey was done in areas with crops and native vegetation (savanna) with, respectively, 56 and 59 sites available in each environment. 3.031 individuals of grasshoppers were collected from 64 species distributed among the following families and subfamilies: Acrididae (49): Gomphocerinae (21), Ommatolampinae (10), Melanoplinae (6), Acridinae (4) Leptysminae (3), Copiocerinae (3), Proctolabinae (1) and Cyrtacanthacridinae (1); Romaleidae (1): Romaleinae (13) and Ommexechidae (1): Ommexechinae (2) and 1550 nymphs. The differences were significant between the number of species found in the savannas (61) and in cultived areas (16). However, the abundance of Acridoidea was significantly higher in crops than in savannas areas which was influenced mainly by two Acrididae's species: Baeacris punctulatus (Thunberg, 1824) and Orphulella punctata (De Geer, 1773) which accounted for 49.5% of the total individuals collected across the Parecis Plateau and, together, they account for 78.8% of recorded abundance in the cultived areas, both species being potential pests.

This contribution records for the first time the subfamily Proctolabinae from Argentina. This subfamily contains 29 genera and 209 species restricted to the Neotropics with only one genus, Eucephalacris Descamps, reaching south as far as Mato Grosso in Brazil and northern Paraguay. Specimens belonging to Eucephalacris borellii (Giglio-Tos) were collected in Misiones province. The presence of this species registered herein raises to eleven the number of Acrididae subfamilies known to occur in the country, and highlights the importance of conducting surveys of Acridoidea and Orthoptera in general, in diverse regions of Argentina. Brief diagnoses and illustrations of the characters that allowed the identification of the genus and species are also given in this contribution.

Esta contribución registra por primera vez la subfamilia Proctolabinae para la Argentina. La subfamilia Proctolabinae contiene 29 géneros y 209 especies restringidas a la región Neotropical, con sólo uno de sus géneros, Eucephalacris Descamps, que llega al sur hasta Mato Grosso en Brasil y el norte de Paraguay. Ejemplares pertenecientes a Eucephalacris borellii (Giglio-Tos) fueron colectados en el departamento de Guaraní, provincia de Misiones. La presencia de Eucephalacris borellii, registrada en este trabajo, eleva a once el número de subfamilias de Acrididae presentes en la Argentina, y destaca la necesidad de realizar relevamientos sobre la diversidad de Acridoidea y de Orthoptera en general, en diversas regiones de nuestro país. También se brindan en esta contribución una breve diagnosis e ilustraciones de los caracteres que permiten la identificación del género y de la especie.

La Colección de Invertebrados del Museo Paraense Emílio Goeldi (MPEG) es secular y contiene 494 ejemplares de saltamontes Romaleidae. En este trabajo se presentan 11 especies que constituyen nuevos registros para el Brasil, la Región Amazónica, los estados brasileros de Acre, Mato Grosso, Pará y Tocantins.

The Invertebrate Collection of the Paraense Emílio Goeldi Museum (MPEG) is century-old and holds 494 specimens of Romaleidae grasshoppers. This work presents 11 species that constitute new records for Brazil, the Amazon Region and the Brazilian states of Acre, Mato Grosso, Pará and Tocantins.

We analysed the abundance of grasshoppers through forage resources within a farm. Four types were considered: legumes pasture (with and without grazing), grass pasture and soybean. Two operators performed the sampling with net, between November and April (8 lines/plot: 4 in their edges, 4 inside). They were compared in total abundance by means of ANVA (DBA) and Tukey. In a Split-Plot designed location (higher plot) and Operator (small plot) by means of ANVA and DGC. Tettigoniidae dominated in grasses (>90%), and had no relevance (<5%) in soybean. Acrididae (true grasshoppers) dominated (>90%) in soybean and were the most important in legume pasture (>60%) while the Tettigoniidae (30%) was the second. Those with the highest abundance in first generation in legume pasture and grasses were D. punctulatus and a Tettigoniidae. In the second generation, two Gomphocerinae (Acrididae) were the most important. In soybean, the highest abundance in January was because of juvenile forms and in February was because of adults (R. (Dichroplus) bergi, a Gomphocerinae and D. punctulatus). In grasses and legume pastures, the same species trended to dominate as adults and juveniles; although it did not happen in soybean. That Tettigoniidae very abundant in grasses, were also in high numbers in legume pastures, but almost did not appear in soybean. However, if that species would require high levels of forage in legume pasture, it could force the dominant Acridoidea there, to move to the soybean. In edges of plots were detected high densities only related with certain kind of neighbours: a similar resource with high densities or non-removed areas (roads and water canals). When considering all edges with the same plot, this effect was diluted and there was not difference between them and the centre of the plot. Differences between operators were not detected.

Se analizó la abundancia de tucuras a través del mosaico de recursos de un establecimiento agrícola-ganadero. Considerando cuatro recursos: pastura (con y sin pastoreo), pastizal y soja, dos operadores llevaron a cabo muestreos mediante red, entre noviembre y abril (8 transectas/parcela, 4 en bordes, 4 en centro). Se comparó la densidad total mediante ANVA (DBA) y Tukey. En un diseño de parcela dividida se consideraron: Posición (parcela mayor) y Operadores (parcela menor) mediante ANVA y DGC. En el pastizal predominaron (>90%) los Tettigoniidae (saltamontes), sin relevancia (<5%) en la soja. Los Acrididae (tucuras verdaderas) predominaron (>90%) en la soja y fueron más importantes en la pastura (>60%) respecto de los Tettigoniidae (30%). Los más abundantes en la primera generación, en la pastura y pastizal fueron D. punctulatus y un Tettigoniidae (Ensifera). En la segunda, dominaron dos Gomphocerinae (Acrididae). Para la soja, el máximo de enero correspondió a los juveniles y la alta densidad de febrero correspondió a los adultos (R. (Dichrolplus) bergi, un Gomphocerinae y D. punctulatus). En pastizales y pasturas, las mismas especies dominaron las capturas como adultos y juveniles, lo que no sucedió en la soja. El Tettigoniidae con alta abundancia en el pastizal, invadió las pasturas, pero no la soja. Si su migración produce una alta demanda de forraje en las pasturas, podría forzar a los Acridoidea predominantes en pasturas y soja, a migrar hacia ésta. En los bordes se detectó una mayor densidad a partir de un vecino riesgoso como fuente de infestación: un recurso similar en aquellos con alta densidad o las áreas sin remoción (caminos o canales). Al considerar todos los bordes en forma conjunta, se diluye este efecto y tal diferencia entre estratos no es detectada. No se detectaron diferencias entre los operadores.

Com o objetivo de verificar a flutuação populacional de gafanhotos na Floresta Nacional de Chapecó (FLONA), em Santa Catarina, foram realizadas coletas semanais durante o período de dezembro de 2003 a dezembro de 2004 com armadilhas do tipo pit-fall, rede de varredura, guarda-chuva entomológico e malaise. Os picos populacionais para a maioria das espécies ocorreram durante os meses de dezembro, janeiro e fevereiro. A análise de regressão (5%) apontou relação significativa entre os fatores climáticos e os níveis populacionais de Allotruxalis gracilis (Giglio-Tos, 1897), Parorphula graminea Bruner, 1900, Rhammatocerus brunneri (Giglio – Tos, 1895) e Xyleus discoideus discoideus (Serville, 1831).

In order to verify the grasshopper population dynamics in the National Forest of Chapecó, SC., weekly collections were made between December 2003 and December 2004, using pit-fall traps, sweep nets, entomological umbrellas and malaises traps. The population peaks for most of the species was reached in December, January and February. The regression analysis (5%) showed significant relation between the climatic factors and the population levels of Allotruxalis gracilis (Giglio-Tos, 1897), Parorphula graminea Bruner, 1900, Rhammatocerus brunneri (Giglio – Tos, 1895) and Xyleus discoideus discoideus (Serville, 1831).

Através de procedimento de coletas e observações periódicas, ao longo de cinco anos, na Estação Ecológica do Tapacurá, São Lourenço da Mata, PE, procedeu-se a um inventário sistemático-ecológico da distribuição dos gafanhotos da estação, adotando-se critérios classificatórios de Acridoidea com novos assinalamentos de famílias, subfamílias, tribos, gêneros e espécies, relacionados aos diversos tipos de vegetação e ambientes da estação.

Over the last five years, collection and periodic observation in the Tapacurá Ecological Station, São Lourenço da Mata, Pernambuco, Brazil, have been carried out to produce a systematic ecological inventory of grasshopper distribution within the station based on the classifying criteria for Acridoidea, providing new data on families, subfamilies, tribes, genera and species related to the various types of vegetation and environments the station affords.

Twenty five species were determined in 17 genera of the superfamily Acridoidea in the state of Queretaro. Gomphocerinae belonging to Acrididae, showed the greatest number of genera and species with 3 and 5 respectively. Melanoplus differentialis differentialis and Sphenarium purpurascens were the most abundant species. Dactylotum bicolor variegatum, Melanoplus lakinus, Orpulella pelidna y Schistocerca albolineata are new records in the state of Queretaro.

The Orthopteroidean fauna in Mapimi Biosphere Reserve (RBM) is represented by 60 species. Ensifera suborder are represented by 15 species grouped in next superfamilies: Tettigoniidae (8 species), Tettigonoidea (one), Stenopelmatoidea (one), Grylloidea (four) y Gryllotalpoidea (one), and six species recorded of Phasmatodea and Dyctioptera orders. In Caelifera suborder, grasshopper fauna is composed of 39 recognized species. The family Acrididae is represented by the subfamilies Gomphocerinae (13 spp), Oedipodinae (10 spp), Melanoplinae (9 spp), Cyrthacantacridinae (2 spp), Ommatolampinae (1 sp), Leptysminae (1 sp), and Romaleidae family (3 spp). Three major life-form groups or guilds are found at MBR: 1) Ground-dwelling species (terricoles), the most common of which are Trimerotropis pallidipennis (Burmeister 1883) and Cibolacris parviceps (Walker 1870). These species live on the soil surface, are generalist feeders and tend to specialize on specific soils associated with different geomorphic surfaces. 2) Grass-dwelling species (graminicoles), the most common being Paropomala virgata Brunner 1899, Opeia obscura (Thomas 1872), and frequent outbreaks of Boopedon nubilum (Say 1825). These species live and feed on grasses but have no specific hosts. 3) Shrub-dwelling species (arbusticoles), which are morphologically, behaviourally, and trophically distinct from ground-dwelling and grass-dwelling species. The most common are Bootettix argentatus Brunner 1889, Ligurotettix planum (Brunner 1905), Hesperotettix viridis (Thomas 1872), Campylacantha olivacea Scudder 1875, and Clematodes larreae Cockerell, 1901; shrub-dwelling species live and feed on shrubs and are host specific to particular shrub species. In general, the species composition and density of grasshopper assemblages vary with different landscape units (depending on soils type and conditions) and also depend on to the taxonomic and physical structure of vegetation and climate into MBR.

La fauna de ortopteroideos en la Reserva de la Biosfera Mapimí (RBM), está formada por un total de 60 especies. El suborden Caelifera está representado por 39 especies de la superfamilia Acridoidea, repartidas en: 13 especies de Gomphocerinae, 10 de Oedipodinae, 9 Melanoplinae, dos Cyrthacantacridinae, una Ommatolampinae y una Leptysminae y la familia Romaleidae con tres especies. El suborden Ensifera está representado por 15 especies repartidas entre las superfamilias Tettigoniidae (8 especies), Tettigonoidea (una), Stenopelmatoidea (una), Grylloidea (cuatro) y Gryllotalpoidea (una). Además, se registraron seis especies de Phasmatodea y Dyctioptera. En la RBM, los Acridoidea son el grupo más abundante y conspicuo de insectos herbívoros, entre los que se distinguen tres formas de vida o «guilds»: 1) Los que habitan en el suelo (terrícolas) representados por la especie más común Trimerotropis pallidipennis (Burmeister 1883) y por Cibolacris parviceps (Walker 1870), que viven y se desarrollan principalmente en el suelo, son herbívoros generalistas que tienden a habitar en tipos de suelo específicos. 2) Los que habitan en hierbas y zacates (graminicolas) de los cuales Paropomala virgata Brunner 1899 y Opeia obscura (Thomas 1872) son las más comunes, se registraron frecuentes disparos de población de Boopedon nubilum (Say 1825), estas especies viven y se alimentan de gramíneas y no tienen hospederos específicos. 3) Los que habitan en arbustos (arbustícolas) grupo morfológica, conductual y tróficamente distinto a los anteriores, algunas especies muestran una alta especificidad alimenticia o de hábitat como Bootettix argentatus Brunner 1889, Ligurotettix planum (Brunner 1905), Hesperotettix viridis (Thomas 1872), Campylacantha olivacea (Scudder 1875) y Clematodes larreae Cockerell, 1901. La composición de especies y las densidades de población en los distintos ensamblajes de acridoideos, muestran gran variabilidad interanual, varían considerablemente entre unidades de vegetación y ambiente, dependen principalmente de las condiciones del suelo, de los atributos taxonómicos y estructura física de la vegetación y del clima.
