Abstract: In order to understand the insect resources of Acridoidea in Qujing , Yunnan , the species diversity and distribution of local locusts are investigated by five-point random sampling method and traditional taxonomy. Four hundred specimens belonging to 19 species, 16 genera and 7 families are collected and identified. Among them, Oedipodidae has the largest number of genera and species (7 genera and 7 species), followed by Pyrgomorphidae (1 genera and 3 species) , Arcypteridae (2 genera and 3 species), and Acrididae and Chrotogonidae (1 genera and 1 species respectively). The results of diversity analysis show that the richness, Shannon-Wiener diversity index, evenness and dominance index of grasshoppers in the farms of Malong District are the highest. From the perspective of species distribution, Atractomorpha sinensis and Trilophidia annulata are the most widely distributed. From the distribution point of view, Malong District farm has the most abundant species (17 species). The results show that the diversity and distribution characteristics of locust species in Qujing are closely related to habitat vegetation types providing a basis for the resource utilization, prediction and comprehensive control of local locusts.
