Abstract

The current study aimed to compile comprehensive records of Orthoptera fauna with a focus on British India. For the first time, efforts were made to represent a record in a specific order for the areas falling under Pakistani jurisdiction. The British Indian fauna consists of 28 records from 12 different sub-families that are widely distributed in Pakistan. In addition, the current status of the species in these areas is described in this paper.
