This paper reports on some interesting taxa recently found in the Arabian Peninsula and the island of Socotra. Among them is a new species of brachypterous grasshopper (Acrididae: Calliptaminae), described from an isolated area in Dhofar (Oman). A female (Uvarov, 1935) (Acrididae: Eyprepocnemidinae) is reported, with morphological characters which do not fully comply with those of any known subspecies. Two species, hitherto rarely documented, are also reported, Uvarov, 1957 (Tettigoniidae: Phaneropterinae) from Socotra and Uvarov, 1933 (Acrididae: Eyprepocnemidinae) from Oman. Krauss, 1902 (Acrididae: Oedipodinae) is reported from Saudi Arabia, constituting a new record for the country.
本文报道了最近在阿拉伯半岛和索科特拉岛发现的一些有趣的分类群。其中包括一种新的短翅蝗虫(蝗科:Calliptaminae亚科),是从阿曼佐法尔一个与世隔绝的地区描述的。报告了一只雌性(乌瓦罗夫,1935年)(蝗科:Eyprepocnemidinae亚科),其形态特征与任何已知亚种的特征并不完全相符。还报告了两个迄今鲜有记录的物种,索科特拉岛的Uvarov, 1957(螽斯科:Phaneropterinae亚科)和阿曼的Uvarov, 1933(蝗科:Eyprepocnemidinae亚科)。1902年的克劳斯(蝗科:Oedipodinae亚科)是从沙特阿拉伯报告的,这是该国的一个新记录。
