Summary

Fossil records of Caelifera (grasshoppers) in China are scarce, with only four species documented from the Early Cretaceous. This study highlights the limited understanding of Caelifera diversity in China

Area of Science:

  • Paleontology
  • Entomology
  • Zoology

Background:

  • Orthoptera, encompassing Ensifera and Caelifera, has a fossil record dating back to the Triassic period.
  • Extinct caeliferan families like Locustopsidae and Locustavidae may represent ancestral groups to modern superfamilies.
  • Locustopsidae fossils span from the Late Triassic/Early Jurassic to the Late Cretaceous and are found globally.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and document the known fossil records of Caelifera in China.
  • To highlight the scarcity of Caelifera fossils compared to other Orthopteran suborders in Chinese Mesozoic deposits.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of published paleontological and entomological research.
  • Compilation of documented fossil Caelifera species from China.

Main Results:

  • The Late Mesozoic fossil deposits of China have yielded numerous Orthopteran taxa, predominantly Ensifera.
  • Only four Caelifera species have been reported from the Early Cretaceous of China: Pseudoacrida costata, Mesolocustopsis sinica, Tachacris stenosis, and T. turgis.
  • This represents a significant underrepresentation of Caelifera diversity in the region's fossil record.

Conclusions:

  • The fossil record of Caelifera in China is notably sparse, particularly from the Mesozoic era.
  • Further paleontological research is needed to uncover more Caelifera fossils and understand their evolutionary history in China.
