Abstract

Ovaj je diplomski rad sveobuhvatni faunistički pregled monaških skakavaca (Orthoptera: Tetrigidae) poluotočnog dijela Malezije. Do sada je ta regija službeno brojala samo 15 vrsta i jednu podvrstu ove porodice, što je vrlo nizak broj u usporedbi s okolnim zemljama. Nakon proučavanja sve dostupne literature značajne za ovu temu i dostupnih uzoraka jedinki iz kolekcija i pronađenih na terenskim istraživanjima, pronađeno je sveukupno 54 vrsta za poluotočnu Maleziju. Od toga su 33 vrste podržane uzorcima koji se nalaze u kolekcijama tamošnjih fakulteta, dok se preostala 21 vrsta treba dodatno proučiti kako bi se ustanovio njihov status. U radu su sve proučene vrste predstavljene fotografijama uzoraka i dodatno detaljno opisane te se daje usporedba sa srodnim vrstama. Za svaku su proučenu vrstu dani dodatni komentari o staništu, ekologiji, rasprostranjenosti, mogućim pogreškama u determinaciji i nedostacima u kolekcijama uzoraka koji služe kao temelj za daljnja istraživanja ove porodice u regiji.

Abstract (english)

This thesis is a comprehensive faunistic overview on pygmy grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Tetrigidae) fauna of Peninsular Malaysia. Until now, the region officially counted only 15 species and 1 subspecies of this family, a very small number when compared to neighbouring countries. By examining all available literature, existing specimens collections, and additional fieldwork research, a total of 54 species is listed for Peninsular Malaysia. Out of those, specimens of 33 species are deposited at local universities, while remaining 21 species need additional research for confirmation of their current status. All examined species are represented with specimen photographs and described in detail along with comparison to morphologically close species. Additional comments are given for each examined species on the subject of its habitat, ecology, distribution, possible misidentifications, and insufficiencies in specimen collections, all serving as basis for future research of this family in the region.
