Abstract
Grasshoppers are generally phytophagous insects and regarded as major
pests of agricultural crops in the world including Pakistan. At the present
extensive survey was carried out to collect the grasshoppers from Hazara
Division. A total of 421 samples were collected and identified into Family
Acrididae, Subfamily Calliptaminae, genus Calliptamus and species
Calliptamus barbarus barbarus (Costa, 1836). Moreover, the distribution
and incidence data will be used for a Red List assessment. Optimistically,
finding of present study will be helpful for the future researchers in near
future. Besides this, the ecological account of species has been given to
determine the pest status of the species.
