Abstract

Two species of grasshoppers in the genus Conophyma Zubovskii (Orthoptera: Acrididae) are described as new. Eight male and eight female specimens of Conophyma sharafii n.sp. were collected 8 June 1967 near Altimur Kotal, Paktia Province, Afghanistan, and seven male and four female specimens of Conophyma roberti n.sp. were collected 11 August 1967 near Gardan Deh, Bamian Province, Afghanistan. These discoveries extend the southern range of Conophyma in Afghanistan and bring the total number of described species in the genus to 83.

Résumé

On décrit comme étant nouvelles deux espèces de criquets du genre Conophyma Zubovskii (Orthoptera : Acrididae). Huit mâles et huit femelles de Conophyma sharafii n.sp. ont été collectionnées le 8 juin 1967 près d’Altimur Kotal, Province de Paktia, Afghanistan; et sept mâles et quatre femelles de Conophyma roberti n.sp. ont été collectionnés le 11 août 1967 près de Gardan Deh, Province de Bamian, Afghanistan. Ces deux découvertes permettent d’étendre la limite sud de Conophyma à l’Afghanistan et permet d’augmenter le nombre total d’espèces décrites pour ce genre à 83.
