Abstract :
This paper presents a checklist of Orthoptera occurring in Albania with an overview of their distribution in the 12 districts of the country. This list is the result of published and unpublished data by various entomologists studying the country’s fauna. This list is a first stage before the publication of the results of the assessments of threatened species (National Red List) that the authors are currently carrying out. Only valid species are taken into account in this checklist. The new taxa discovered but not yet described and published are not included in the list. When it makes sense, we mention the subspecies, especially when more than one subspecies occur in Albania. This checklist includes also taxa not yet found in the country but found at less than 1km of the border when the habitat is similar on both sides. A total of 188 species is recorded but 4 species have not been confirmed recently.
