| Description | In the Czech Republic orthopteran insects have been studied since the first half of 19th century. In 1926, Obenberger published the first monograph dealing with the distribution in the former Czechoslovakia, including the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Ruthenia. This represented an turning point in the study of these insects. The publication of a comprehensive monograph with illustrated identification keys (Kočárek et al. 2005) resulted in additional study of bush-crickets and grasshoppers, and also helped determine the conservation status of many species (Holuša & Kočárek 2005, Holuša et al. 2017). To date, 98 orthopteran species have been reliably detected in the Czech Republic. |
