Abstract

Chhattisgarh state is located in the central part of India surrounded by 05 states, viz; Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha and Andhra Pradesh and occupying an area of about 1,35,000 sq. k. m. A perusal of literature reveals that 103 species of different groups of insects are reported from Chhattisgarh (Ramakrishna et al., 2006). Recent reference (Srivastava, 2014) on Dermaptera of Achanakmar Amarkantak Biosphere Reserve of Chhattisgarh state reveals the record of 05 species only. Hence, an attempt has been made to explore the Dermaptera fauna of this state by studying the collections made during the recent surveys conducted by different survey parties of the Zoological Survey of India.
