Sakaerat Biosphere Reserve is one of the four Biosphere Reserves in Thailand. It is situated at Khorat Plateau and comprises
of mainly dry evergreen forest and dry dipterocarp forest. Despite studies that document its rich biodiversity, there
was no concerted study on the orthopteran diversity. Recent sampling by the authors in Sakaerat led to the discovery of
numerous undescribed species. A checklist, first for the place, is also reported here, each species represented with a habitus
photograph. In total, 128 species of Orthoptera from 11 families were recorded. Caelifera (grasshoppers) were represented
with five families and Ensifera (crickets and katydids) were represented with six families, making up 10 of the 16 lineages
in the orthoptera phylogeny.
