Present communication reports 38 species of orthopteran insects under 32 genera belonging to 24 tribes of 15 subfamilies spread over 7 families under 5 Super families from Sunderban Biosphere Reserve. Among them, 17 species are reported for the first time from Sunderban biosphere Reserve (Marked with *) and two species namely Conocephalus (Anisoptera) longipennis (Hann, 1842) & Letana pyrifera Bey Bienko, 1956 from the family Tettigoniidae from West Bengal, India (Marked with #).
Among the 7 families, family Acrididae holds the highest number of species (12), followed by the family Gryllidae with 8 species. Furthermore, family Tettigoniidae (7), Trigonidiidae (4), family Pyrgomorphidae (3), Tetrigidae (3) hold the rest of the positions in the species list and family Gryllotalpidae holds the last position with only one species.

Assam is a state in North-East India which is considered as a biological hotspot. Present communication is the first consolidated updated list of cerambycid fauna of Assam and reports 95 species, 64 genera, 32 tribes and 3 subfamilies. Among the three subfamilies from Assam, subfamily Lamiinae shares 49 species, followed by the subfamily Cerambycinae with 38 species and Prioninae with only 8 species.Keywords

The taxonomic study of the family cerambycidae is very poor in Himachal Pradesh. Contributions of Breuning (1937, 1958, 1965), Beeson and Bhatia (1939), Basak and Biswas (1993), Mukhopadhyay (2011), Saha et al. (2013) were enriched the cerambycid fauna of this state. Later, few publications were made on other aspects than taxonomy of cerambycidae by Uniyal and Mathur (1998), Singh, and Verma (1998), Bhargava and Uniyal (2011). Therefore, an attempt has been taken to prepare a consolidated taxonomic account of the cerambycid species reported from the Himachal Pradesh. After consulting all the available literatures on Cerambycidae of India it is enumerate that, 37 species under 27 genera of 17 tribes belonging to 4 subfamilies of Crambycidae were reported from this state.Full Text

Study of aquatic insects has been proceeding for centuries, possibly millennia. Freshwater habitats from puddles to rivers to lakes, including both lentic (still water) and lotic (running water) habitats, can be home to various species of aquatic insects (Cheng, 1985; Daly, et al., 1998; Glausiusz, 1997). This specially adapted group of insects makes up only 3-5 percent of all insect species, but is very taxonomically diverse (Daly et al., 1998).Full Text

Climate change have impacts on marine, terrestrial and limnetic systems, and hence will influence future biological diversity of the globe. Present day Polar Regions experience greater rates of climatic change than elsewhere on the earth. The smallest shift of climate may threat to these uniquely adapted fauna of this extreme environment. However, some small areas of terrestrial habitat still supporting terrestrial and limnetic biotas have been continuously available for periods of time ranging from the several million to only a few thousand years.Keywords

Kalpavriksha and Chaityavriksha scriptures mention that worshipping trees have been an ancient Indian practice. Considering trees as sacred entities, dates back to the era of the Aryans who worshiped nature. Plants and trees are associated with several Indian rituals and tree worshiping continues to be an aspect of modern Indian traditions. These trees are an important storehouse of biodiversity, having remained largely undisturbed by human interference and these are the last remnants of natural forests which should be preserved for conserve the local biodiversity.Full Text

Genda (Tagetes patula Linnaeus, Family Asteraceae) is an erect, branched and hardy annual, usually growing about 60 cm high. Flowers of one solid colour, the typical colour being lemon yellow, but it ranges from a light sulphur yellow to a deep orange. Recently, commercial cultivation of marigold in India has risen to an estimated 13,000 hectares with annual production of 200,000 tones of flowers, the highest for any flowers grown in India. This increasing demand of growing Tagetes is not due to only religious or social purposes but for its valuable essential oil components.Full Text

Of them, Lepidoptera shares maximum number of species (77), followed by Hemiptera (29), Diptera (24), Coleoptera (19), Odonata (12) and Orthoptera (06). Among them, 20 species of Lepidoptera, 05 species of Hemiptera, 05 species of Coeloptera and 03 species of Orthoptera are found as tea pests. Besides this, 01 species of Diptera and Odonata are found as predators of tea pest. In addition to this, 14 species of Hemiptera, 11 species of Coleoptera and 09 species of Lepidoptera reported as pests/borers of other crops and timber plants. In addition to this, 03 species of Hemiptera and 03 species of Diptera as predator and 16 species of Diptera as flower visitors/pollinators in other ecosystem are also found.Keywords
