Abstract

The Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University (ANSP) is one of the most important collections of Orthoptera in the world, housing specimens from several continents. The family Gryllotalpidae comprises about 125 valid species of which types of 10 species belonging to 5 genera are housed in this collection.
