Abstract

A number of recent publications have been produced on North American orthopteroid insects. These publications differ in some respects in dealing with the northern, particularly Canadian, orthopteroid fauna. This paper details the changes in names of taxa at nearly all levels, together with the present accepted names, and explanations and reasons for the changes.

Résumé

On a récemment publié un certain nombre de travaux traitant des Insectes Orthoptéroides nord-américains. Ces publications diffèrent quant à certains aspects de leur traitement de la faune orthoptérique nordique, particulièrement de la faune canadienne. Le présent article énumère les changements de nom des taxons à presque tous les niveaux de la classification ainsi que les noms présentement acceptés, et les explications et raisons de ces changements.
