The results of comparative karyotypical studies of the Caelifera orthopteran insects from Russia, Kazakhstan, Central, Asia and the Caucasus are summarized. Chromosome complements for 166 species belonging to the families: Eumastacidae (subfamily Gomphomastacinae; 2n male=19,21), Tetrigidae (2n male=13), Acrididae (2n male=23, 22, 21, 19, 17, 16), Pyrgomorphidae (2n male=19), and Pamphagidae (2n male=19,18) are presented.
Karyotypes and C-heterochromatin distribution of Deracanthina deracanthoides, Deracanthella verrucosa and Zichya baranovi were studied. Differences in the chromosome numbers, their morphology, and the position of C-bands between species of Bradyporinae are discussed.
Karyotypes, C-bands distribution of nine species belonging to 6 genera, and chromosomal location of NORs in some species were studied. Differences in the chromosome numbers, their morphology, and the position of C-bands between species of Poecilimon and IIsophya are discussed.
