Assamacris striata Uvarov, 1942 ( Fig. 1 )

Assamacris striata Uvarov, 1942: 593 ; Willemse C., 1957: 423; Otte, 1995:274; Shishodia, Chandra & Gupta, 2010: 27.

Type material examined. No specimens were examined. Data were extracted from published descriptions.

Distribution. India (Meghalaya, Cherrapunji ), Myanmar.

Notes. The species was first reported with a male holotype from Cherrapunji (about 25°18’ N, 91°42’ E), Meghalaya (originally reported as from Assam), India and a female paratype from the Mishmi Hills (about 29°05’ N, 95°55’ E). As what Ingrisch et al. (2004) stated, the male specimens from the Mishmi Hills are required to decide on the question if the female paratype is conspecific with the male holotype.
