Study on the incidences of phaneropterinae from district Jamshoro

Abstract

A total of 72 specimens were collected from different localities of Jamshoro during the year 2016-2017, the sites from where I have collected the specimens are: fruit orchards, berry shrubs, grasses, rice fields and trees. The collected material was sorted out into 2 species i.e. Trigonocorypha unicolor Stal 1873, T. angustata Uvarov 1922 from Jamshoro. Phaneropterinae are also called leaf crickets because they look like leaf and have green color and their wings green color conceal their presence on the leaf. After collecting the material it was preserved at laboratory and lab methods were applied for further process. These findings provide important data regarding Phaneropterinae biodiversity conservation and grassland restoration in Sindh. Present study will also be very useful for the behavioral distribution of this species.
