Abstract

Background

Grasshoppers (Acridoidea, Orthoptera) are the dominant herbivores in grassland
ecosystems worldwide. They can increase rangeland productivity by stimulating plant
growth and accelerating nutrient cycling. This article presents a comprehensive checklist of
grasshoppers in Mongolia. Until then, the available information was very scattered, based
on old studies of Mongolian grasshoppers, recorded in a few international catalogues and
databases, individual records and research work on agroecosystem communities.
However, the available information on the composition of the Orthopteran fauna in
Mongolia was sometimes unclear or non-existent and these dubious data were excluded
from the present study. In addition, the grasshopper distribution analysis used the
standardised personal collection of D. Altanchimeg. We also present a list of grasshoppers,
as well as their distribution and abundance, in countries adjacent to Mongolia, such as

Russia, China and South Korea. The surveys covered six types of natural zones: high
mountain, taiga, forest-steppe, steppe, desert steppe and desert; desert steppe and steppe
zones are the most widely distributed. We hope to have contributed significantly to the
study of the distribution of grasshopper species in all these natural zones.

New information

In this study, a total of three families of Acridoidea belonging to eight subfamilies, 17 tribes,
52 genera and 128 species are reported for the various natural zones. The recorded
species belong to eight subfamilies: Gomphocerinae are the most numerous with 56
species recorded, followed by Oedipodinae (51 species), Thrinchinae (nine species),
Melanoplinae (six species), Calliptaminae (three species), Dericorythinae, Acridinae,
Egnatiinae (one species each).

Introduction

Locust and grasshoppers (Orthoptera, Acridoidea) are essential herbivores in grassland
ecosystems worldwide (Latchininsky et al. 2011, Fang et al. 2015). They aid in plant growth
and nutrient cycling and play an important part in food chains (Kietzka et al. 2021).
However, locust and grasshopper outbreaks are considered a global problem. They can
destroy grasslands and crops and inflict severe economic impacts on crops and
rangelands (Hewitt 1977, Gupta 1983, Lockwood and Lockwood 2008, Latchininsky et al.
2011, Zhang et al. 2019, Lecog and Zhang 2019, Lecoq and Cease 2022). A few
grasshopper species have been proposed as ecological indicators of ecosystem health as
they are susceptible to changes in land use and climate (Marini et al. 2008, Fartmann et al.
2012, Bazelet and Samways 2012, Uchida and Ushimaru 2014). Climate change and
geographical characteristics are critical factors that determine grasshopper population
growth. The grasshoppers (Acridoidea) are the largest superfamily of the orthopterans with
28 families, 140 subfamilies, 265 tribes, 2,459 genera (57 subgenera) and 10,531 valid
species (1,951 subspecies) distributed throughout the world, except Antarctica (Cigliano et
al. 2022). Mongolia is a landlocked country with diverse terrain, surrounded by mountains
to the north and west and the forest-steppe of the Gobi Desert to the south. The majority of
its land is covered by grassland steppe. Mongolia has six main natural zones and belts
(that are divided into sub-divisions): alpine (high mountain) and mountain taiga, mixed and
deciduous forests, steppe, desert steppe (Gobi) and desert zones (Yembuu 2021).
Mongolia has a high elevation and cold and dry climate (Worden and Savada 1991,
Gombobaatar et al. 2014).

An annotated checklist of grasshoppers (Orthoptera, Acridoidea) from Mongolia 3

Of these species, Mongolia contains 128 species in 52 genera and three families
(Pamphagidae, Dericorythidae and Acrididae). In the early 1960s, several foreign and
Mongolian researchers started undertaking expeditions for the Mongolian insect species
checklist. Some of these expeditions were undertaken collaboratively with other countries,
such as Poland (1962-1964), Hungary (1963-1968), Germany (1962-1964), the Czech
Republic (1965-1966) and Russia (1967-1987). This research facilitated the study of
insect distribution (physical and geographical distribution) in the different provinces of
Mongolia and collected several grasshopper specimens. Referring to Rentsendorj and
Khodroi (2020), the study on the list of grasshoppers in Mongolia was undertaken from
1951 to 2019 and a list of 110 species was established. Of them, three different families
and 48 genera between 1951 and 1989 (Mistshenko and Bey-Bienko 1951, Mistshenko
1968, Gunther 1971, Chogsomzhav 1971, Chogsomzhav 1974b, Chogsomzhav 1977,
Chogsomzhav 1989, Gorochov et al. 1989) and 81 species of two families and 33 genera
between 1990-2019 (Batkhuyag 1995, Batnaran et al. 1999, Batnaran 2008, Ganbold
2009, Altanchimeg et al. 2014, Altanchimeg and Nonnaizab 2013, Batkhuyag et al. 2014,
Gandulam 2016, Otgonchimeg 2017) were added to the list. Moreover, 69 short-horned
grasshopper species, which belonged to two families and 31 genera, were identified
between 2013 and 2019 in Mongolia (Rentsendorj and Khodroi 2020). Recently, the
species list of Mongolian grasshoppers was updated to three families, 49 genera and 127
species (Batkhuyag and Batnaran 2021). However, as this species list included uncertain
specimen records and unclear sources, the accuracy of these sources needed to be
checked.

The present study is the first comprehensive study to update the diversity of Mongolian
grasshoppers (Acridoidea), including information on species traits and distribution by
natural zones. To create this annotated checklist, we reviewed all published materials
related to short-horned grasshopper species that were newly discovered in Mongolia since
the 1930s, followed by a taxonomic analysis using important source information from the
Orthoptera Species File (Cigliano et al. 2022). The current study's findings will give
fundamental information regarding the grasshopper diversity of Mongolia. Furthermore, it
can inspire local scientists interested in topics such as ecology, biology, medicine,
agriculture and education.

Materials and methods

The list presented in the present paper is based on literature records of grasshopper
species in Mongolia available up to May 2022. The taxa that were reported from Mongolia
are listed taxonomically by subfamily and alphabetically within each subfamily, tribe and
genus. Each species was examined in Mongolia and the citation of the first or most reliable
reference to support this record is provided. First, the references to recorded species in
Mongolia reported in the Orthoptera Species File online version 5.0/5.0 (Cigliano et al.
2022), Institute of Biology, Mongolian Academy of Sciences (MAS) (Chogsomzhav 1975,
Altanchimeg et al. 2014), Plant Protection Research Institute of Mongolia (Batkhuyag et al.
2014) and the grasshopper list in Mongolia from the Mongolian Journal of Agricultural

Sciences were checked and, if erroneous, corrected in the current lists. Changes in
systematic status and synonymies have been proposed by (Chogsomzhav (1989),
Altanchimeg (2011) and Batkhuyag and Batnaran (2021).

The current work is an annotated study of grasshoppers (Acridoidea) in Mongolia, with an
emphasis on a rare and unknown grasshopper species. Except for long-horned
grasshoppers and crickets, this research systematises Acridoidea. Likewise, the list is used
in taxonomic sequences by superfamily, family, subfamily, tribe, genus and species.
Depending on the natural zone where the grasshopper was collected, they belong to that
area. Grasshopper distribution in six different natural zones, distribution of grasshopper
species in neighbouring countries on the northern border with Russia and south with China
and comparison with the South Korean population were performed using the Biodiversity
Pro 2.0 programme. In addition, in all cases, the similarity matrix of the Bray-Curtis cluster
analysis dendrogram was used (single link). The grasshopper distribution in the six
different natural zones was determined using ArcGIS ArcMap 10.7.1. The grasshopper's
geographical distribution was drawn, based on the Mongolian steppe figure (Mohamed, A
and Kimura 2014). The species registered on the European Red List were also divided into
categories using IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria (IUCN 2022).

Analysis
Result

The present study aimed to list the rare and unexplored species of grasshoppers (except
long-horned grasshopper and cricket species) in Mongolia. Currently, the grasshopper
fauna of Mongolia comprises 128 species, which are distributed in 52 genera and 19 tribes
(Table 2). Of these, 34 species are also included in the Checklist of European Orthoptera
(Acridoidea) (Suppl. material 2). In addition, Mongolia's distribution of grasshoppers was
divided into six distinct natural zones (Fig. 3), (Suppl. material 3). Additionally, a combined
cluster analysis was performed using the grasshopper component numbers between
neighbouring countries, including Russia, China and South Korea (Suppl. material 4).

The rich distribution of Mongolian grasshoppers was characterised by six habitats using
the remnant natural habitat and forest types (Fig. 1). The total number of grasshopper
species in each natural zone was as follows: 75 species (25.93%) in the steppe, 16
species (5.46%) in the high mountains, 56 species (19.11%) in the forest-steppe, 80
species (27.30%) in the desert steppe, 17 species (5.80%) in the taiga and 48 species
(16.38%) in the desert. The similarity matrix between the geographical distribution of
grasshopper results presented a high mountain and taiga zone of 12.1%, taiga and forest-
steppe zone of 46.57%, forest-steppe and steppe zone of 59.54%, steppe and desert
steppe zone of 64.51% and desert steppe and desert zone of 64.06% (Table 1). The
species natural zone results used by a single-link Bray-Curtis cluster analysis dendrogram

(Fig. 2a, b) considered desert and desert steppe zones, steppe and forest-steppe zones
and high mountain and taiga zones as most closely related. The high mountain and taiga
zones were less distributed than the other zones. In addition, the Shannon index and
Berger—Parker's index showed six different natural zones (Suppl. material 3). Desert
steppe and steppe zones were the most distributed. In contrast, the high mountain and
taiga zones were less distributed. Grasshoppers are widely distributed in the desert steppe
and steppe natural zone (Suppl. material 1). Twenty grasshopper species that are
extensively dispersed in the desert-steppe natural zone have been identified as the
indicator species of this zone. These species are listed as follows: Rhinotmethis hummelli

abbreviations (Suppl. material 1). In total, 16 species (13.17%) were endemic and were
commonly distributed in desert steppe and desert natural zones. The similarity matrix
showed the species distribution of grasshoppers in Mongolia, Russia, China and South
Korea. A single-link Bray-Curtis cluster analysis dendrogram was constructed using the
combined distribution data for all species. The results exhibited the relationship between a
Mongolian grasshopper species and species in Russia and China that were most closely
related to the Mongolian species. South Korea was reported as the country that was most
distantly linked to Mongolia (Fig. 2). The number of Mongolian grasshopper species was
compared with those of grasshopper species in the neighbouring countries, such as Russia
and China and South Korea was included using a single-link Bray-Curtis cluster analysis
dendrogram (Fig. 2c). The similarity index between the number of species of Mongolian
grasshopper and those of grasshopper species in China, Russia and South Korea was
68.36%, 76.55% and 26.84%, respectively. Furthermore, grasshopper species from China
showed 36.78% and 65.30% similarity with those in South Korea and Russia, respectively.
South Korea showed that 36% of the Russian-distributed species were similar (Table 3). In
summary, Russia and China are closely tied to the number of Mongolian grasshopper
species, whereas South Korea is distantly related.

In addition, 17 species of grasshoppers are endemic to Mongolia (13.17%), including

Discussion

The grasshopper fauna of Mongolia comprises 128 species, including three families, eight
subfamilies, 19 tribes and 52 genera, of which 34 species are registered on the European
Red List (Table 2). The 17 grasshopper species that are considered endemic to Mongolia
are distributed in desert and desert steppe. Notably, some species are widely distributed in

54 Gankhuyag E et al

neighbouring countries, such as Russia, China and South Korea. The taxonomic keys of
the superfamily Acridoidea in Mongolia were recently updated and it was reported that the
superfamily includes three families, 49 genera and 127 species (Batkhuyag and Batnaran
2021). A difference of six species was observed between our checklist and the list updated
by Batkhuyag and Batnaran (2021). These species included Gomphocerus licenti Chang,
Chorthippus (Ch.) karelini Uv., Stenobothrus kirgizorum |konn., Sphingonotus halocnemi
Uv., Sphingonotus turcmenus B.-Bien. and Eclipophleps confinis levis Mistsh. In addition,
the records of specimens of four species were uncertain; these included Chorthippus (G.)
buyanticus Batkhuyag et al., Chorthippus (G.) tseelicus Batlhuyag et al., Spohingonotus
halocnemi Uv. and Sphingonotus turcmenus B.-Bien. In the present study, four species
with uncertain distribution sources, namely Gomphocerus licenti Chang, Chorthippus (Ch.)
karelini Uv., Stenobothrus kirgizorum |konn. and Eclipophleps levis Mistsh, were excluded
from our checklist. In the future, the species list should be updated after previously
unreported species have been identified and reported by undertaking additional research.

We compared the findings of our checklist with those of Batkhuyag and Batnaran (2021)
and we found discrepancies related to three genera, namely A/olopus Fieber, 1853,
Pseudochorthippus Defaut, 2012 and Megaulacobothrus Caudell, 1921, as well as three
species, which includes Aeropedellus baliolus Mistsh., Bryodema kozlovi B.-Bien., and
Aiolopus thalassinus (Fabr.). These genus species are widely distributed in forests and
steppe in Mongolia. When creating an annotated checklist, the species that were identified
from literature were divided into natural zones, based on their distribution. However,
Mongolia has the world’s largest intact grassland with respect to its biodiversity
(Batsaikhan et al. 2014, Herbert et al. 2019), which has great importance for the
preservation of native vascular plants (Baasanmunkh et al. 2022). Thus, it is important to
study grasshopper's habitat and development, which negatively impact grassland. At the
same time, there is an enormous shortage of taxonomists who can identify and describe
species (Wheeler 2004). The loss of diversity coupled with the taxonomic impediment is
one of the most challenging issues we biologists face today (Song 2010). A poor
understanding of grasshopper fauna has impaired our understanding of grasshopper
speciation and evolution. Therefore, further in-depth surveys of grasshoppers in Mongolia
should be conducted and it is expected that the taxonomic uncertainty checked in this
study can be solved through future studies.

Notably, some species are widely distributed in neighbouring countries, such as Russia,
China and South Korea. The taxonomic keys of the superfamily Acridoidea in Mongolia
were recently updated and it was reported that the superfamily includes three families, 49
genera and 127 species (Batkhuyag and Batnaran 2021). A difference of six species was
observed between our checklist and the list updated by Batkhuyag and Batnaran (2021).
These species included Gomphocerus licenti Chang, Chorthippus ( Ch.) karelini Uv.,
Stenobothrus kirgizorum |konn., Sphingonotus halocnemi Uv., Sphingonotus turcmenus B.-
Bien. and Eclipophleps levis Mistsh. In addition, the records of specimens of four species
were uncertain; these included Chorthippus (G.) buyanticus Batkhuyag et al., Chorthippus
(G.) tseelicus Batlhuyag et al., Sohingonotus halocnemi Uv. and Sphingonotus turcmenus
B.-Bien. In the present study, four species had uncertain distribution sources, namely

Gomphocerus licenti Chang, Chorthippus (Ch.) karelini Uv., Stenobothrus kirgizorum
Ikonn. and Eclipophleps levis Mistsh and were excluded from our checklist. We are aware
that this list is only a basis for further research and we hope that it will be further modified
by the work of future scientists who devote their time and passion to researching new and
interesting facts about Mongolian grasshoppers.
