This paper presents the results of orthopteroid fauna investigations carried out in various habitats of mountain Orjen durig the Summer 2005. Data for orthoipteroid insects from the region of mountain Orjen are unknown in the literature. At three defined habitats 481 specimens of ortopteroid fauna (ordo Orthoptera) were collected; we determined the presence of 34 species from these habitats and classified them into two (2) suborders, two (2) families and seventeen (17) genera.  The following 34 species (out of 180 Orthoptera species known for the entire territory of Montenegro by 1984). The paper consists of detailed data about ecological characterisation of species, their distribution as well as their localities (habitats) where the insects were collected. Collected enthomological material is in autor's collection.

Key words: Orthoptera, Ensifera, Caelifera, Orjen, Montenegro, ecology, distribution, zoogeography.

PRILOG  POZNAVANJU  FAUNE  ORTHOPTERA (INSECTA) CRNE GORE - ORJEN

U radu su prezentirani rezultati istraživanja faune Orthoptera u 2005. godini (pravokrilci–Ensifera i Caelifera-zrikavci i skakavci) na području planinskog masiva Orjena. Podaci o fauni Orthoptera sa planine Orjen nepoznati su u literaturi. Na tri definisana karakteristična tipa staništa Orjena sakupljena je 481 jedinki i determinisano 34 vrste (od 180 vrsta oroptera poznatih za celu teritoriju Crne Gore do 1984) klasifikovane u dva (2) podreda, dve (2) familije i sedamnaest (17) rodova. U radu su dati podaci o ekološkoj karakterizaciji vrsta, njihovom rasprostranjenju kao i lokalitetima (staništima) na kojima su insekti sakupljeni. Sakupljeni entomološki materijal nalazi se u zbirci kod autora.
