Check-list of North Korean Orthoptera Based on the Specimens Deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum

Beginning with Hungarian expeditions to Korean peninsula in 1970, many Korean biological specimens have accumulated in the collections of the Hungarian Natural History Museum. The collections have informative value to understand East Asian biota. Here, North Korean Orthopterans are examined and checked; 73 species are listed and collecting data for more than 1,441 individuals is provided. A joint research project was accomplished in the year 2010 between the Hungarian Natural History Museum and the National Institute of Biological Resources. The project produced a total of 123 specimens of 26 North Korean Caeliferan species which are newly placed in the Entomological Collection of the National Institute of Biological Resources. A transpalaearctic long-horned grasshopper Bicolorana bicolor (Philippi, 1830) is reported for the first time from North Korean fauna.
