Comments. Altogether 59 species (30 of them endemic) in 10 families are recorded from the Socotra Archipelago. Most of them occur in Socotra, while only one species in Samha, one in Darsa, and three in Abd el Kuri. A comprehensive taxonomic and faunistic study on the Orthoptera fauna of the Socotra Archipelago is in preparation (Rob Felix, pers. comm. 2017).
