A New Species of the Genus Badistica Karsch, 1891 from West Africa (Orth. Acridoidea)
The genus Badistica Karsch occupies an important place in the grasshopper fauna of the forests of West Africa since it appears to be a genus endemic to areas from Cameroons westwards. B. bellula Karsch (Cameroons) and B. simpsoni Ramme (W. Ivory Coast and westwards) are closely related species found...

| Sumario: | The genus Badistica Karsch occupies an important place in the grasshopper fauna of the forests of West Africa since it appears to be a genus endemic to areas from Cameroons westwards. B. bellula Karsch (Cameroons) and B. simpsoni Ramme (W. Ivory Coast and westwards) are closely related species found at oposite ends of 1West Africa, separated zoogeographically by the Niger to eastern Ivory Coast corridor. This forest corridor is occupied by two known species, B. ornata I. Bol. (Sierra Leone — Ghana west of Volta river), and B. lauta Karsch originally described from the upland relict forests of the Missahohe area of Togoland. It is to the last species that the new species is most closely allied. |
