BSTRACT. The investigations that were made in the last 10 years and the review of scientific literature who relived studies made on grasshoppers, cricket and bush cricket species from Romania and especially from Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve (D.D.B.R.) territory indicate the presence of 80 taxa belonging to Orthoptera order (Class Insecta), an important number from a total of 187 taxa at national level. In the same time D.D.B.R. is characterized by some interesting elements of orthoptera fauna – one endemic species [Isophya dobrogensis (Kis 1994)] on Popina Island, one new species for this territory [Metrioptera (Zeuneriana) amplipennis (Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1882)] and two species (Isophya dobrogensis (Kis, 1994) and Saga pedo (Pallas, 1771)) from Red List of plant and animal species from D.D.B.R. Over 40% orthoptera species from Romania characterize through their presence Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve having a diverse geographical spreading, fact that is correlated with the diversity of dobroudjean climate. This is characterized by unique elements in Romania being an interface area between different types of climate. Key words: Orthoptera (Insecta), Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve, taxonomy, checklist, distribution

INTRODUCTION The investigations that were carried out until now were highlighted the presence of an important ortopterofauna within a geographical territory relatively reduced. The species of orthoptera populate every types of habitats situated above the surface of water. In this natural frame can be found common species, present in almost all types of habitats (Tettigonia viridissima, crickets, species of genera Chorthippus, Calliptamus, etc.), characteristic species for wetlands (species of Tetrix genus; or taxa Stenophyma grossum and Paracinema tricolor bisignata being strictly hygrophilous elements), species with large ecological requirements representing elements of interference between different forms of ecological requirements. In the same time it can be observed the presence of an endemic species (Isophya dobrogensis) in one reduced an isolated areal frame, represented by Popina Island from the northern part of Razim Lake. Other category is represented by the species found on the proximity of deltaic territory, these being pointed out like present in Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve because the spatial distribution involve their presence in the administrative limits of the Biosphere Reserve, elements mentioned to be in fact ”continental species” (for example: Bradypous dasypus). The presence of just one endemic species on the DDBR, cumulate with the species abundance from here, shows the presence of a mosaic of special orthopterofaunistic associations, generally characterized by the presence of alien species [10]. European elements have reduced share (7 %) in total number of species, predominant being the species with large spreading (central asiatic-european, 36 %). Those over 40% from orthoptera species from Romania which characterize through their presence Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve have a diverse geographical spreading, fact that is correlated with the diversity of dobroudjean climate. This is characterized by unique elements in Romania being an interface area between different types of climate imposed by the presence of the Black Sea in eastern part, the Dobroudjean Continental Plateau in southern part, but also relatively closeness to Russian steppes, the diversity of the geographical area from where the species are coming here being impressive. MATERIAL AND METODS The list of the species is based by the personal investigations made during last 10 years and by the consultation of the specialty literature that have like subject Orthoptera Order from Romania but especially Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve. Taxonomy and classifies list are in concordance with Orthoptera Species Files 2.0/4.0 database, from 30 January 2012 [25]. For every species there will be given the taxonomical classification, accepted name and the synonyms (where is the case), general distribution, occurrence in DDBR and the conservation status.

A number of 13 taxa have a special status by the presence or reconfirmation point of view of these in the perimeter of DDBR territory: Taxa existent in the outside of Danube Delta but observed the internal part of administrative territory of DDBR: Isophya rectipennis, Isophya zubowskii, Conocephalus hastatus, Tettigonia caudata, Bradyporus dasypus, Paracaloptenus caloptenoides, Platypygius crassus, Stenobothrus fischeri, Stenobothrus nigromaculatus, Omocestus rufipes; Taxa existent on internal part of Danube Delta territory but without recent confirmation of presence: Stenonemobius gracilis, Bruntridactylus tartarus, Chrysocharon dispar. One taxa (Isophya dobrogensis) is endemic, one (Saga pedo) is vulnerable, one (Paracaloptenus caloptenoides caloptenoides) is nominated in Annex 3 of OUG 57/2007 (animal and plant species whose conservation requires the designation of special areas of conservation), two (Saga pedo and Paracaloptenus caloptenoides caloptenoides) are nominated in Annex 4 A of OUG 57/2007 (animal and plant species of community interest in need of strict protection) and one (Isophya dobrogensis) is nominated in Annex 4 B of OUG 57/2007 (species of national interest in need of strict protection).
