A new grasshopper (Orth. Acrididae) damaging ground-nuts
Bulletin of Entomological Research 42 (1), 41-43
Abstract: Pyrgomorphella arachidis is a new species of grasshopper found in Tanganyika where during very wet seasons large numbers attack young ground-nut plants. It maintains itself on wild herbage but leaves the latter as soon as the ground-nut plants are available. There are, probably, two generations in favourable years.
