This review of the Iberian species is a very valuable step towards resolving the taxonomical problems. About 1000 specimens were studied, taking into account... http://www.ortheur.org/get?site=orthoptera&view=orthoptera&id=i000359&logId=l000088 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 07:50:29 +0200 Roy Kleukers Recent investigations have confirmed the presence of Isophya kraussi in the Carpathian mountains. Based on acoustic analysis and morphological characters, the populations from NE Romania are considered to belong to a different subspecies, I... http://www.ortheur.org/get?site=orthoptera&view=orthoptera&id=i000359&logId=l000087 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 06:22:18 +0200 Roy Kleukers From 11 to 13 april the Orthoptera Specialist Group of the IUCN had a workshop on the redlisting of European Orthoptera in Leiden.

In total 64 species were found, among which five new country records: Isophya modestior, Poecilimon affinis, Poecilimon fussi... http://www.ortheur.org/get?site=orthoptera&view=orthoptera&id=i000359&logId=l000083 Mon, 31 Dec 2012 10:51:39 +0100 Roy Kleukers The genus Isophya has revealed many surprising new insights in the last years. In a recent paper in Zookeys Ionut Iorgu describes yet another Isophya species from the Romanian Carpathians: Isophya dochia. This brings the total number of Iso... http://www.ortheur.org/get?site=orthoptera&view=orthoptera&id=i000359&logId=l000081 Sat, 22 Dec 2012 07:55:14 +0100 Roy Kleukers A thorough and beautifully illustrated revision at the genus level for the complex group of the Ephippigerinae. This results in many species being transferred to other genera. Several of them are newly described, like Albarracinia, Coracino... http://www.ortheur.org/get?site=orthoptera&view=orthoptera&id=i000359&logId=l000080 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 10:30:56 +0100 Roy Kleukers The newest volume in the prestiguous New Naturalist series treats the Orthoptera.

Gergely Szövényi and co-workers have described Isophya nagyi from the Eastern Carpathians in Romania. Furthermore I... http://www.ortheur.org/get?site=orthoptera&view=orthoptera&id=i000359&logId=l000079 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 20:03:33 +0100 Roy Kleukers
