A note on the Grasshoppers (Acridoidea) of the Kalahari Gemsbok National Park

Abstract

A study is being made of the Acridoidea (grasshoppers) in the south-central Kalahari of the Republic of Botswana (Tshane @ Samane region). To gain some understanding of the variation of the grasshopper fauna between different parts of the Kalahari, a brief visit was made in April 1982, to the adjoining Kalahari Gemsbok National Park, Republic of South Africa.
