In the autumn of 1981,the second Nepal Himalaya entomological expedition was made under the leadership of Dr. S.-I. UENO of the National Science Museum, Tokyo. The orthopterous material collected at that time was entrusted to me for study by Dr. UENO. In this material I found one new genus and species belonging to the Gomphomastacinae, Gomphomastacidae (DIRSH, 1975), which was collected in the western part of Nepal. The distributional area of gomphomastacine grasshoppers hitherto known includes Kazakhstan, Uzbekhstan, Tadzikhstan (Pamir), N. Afghanistan, Punjab, Karakorum, Kashmir, and W. China (the southwestern end of Tibet, Tien Shan, and Chinghai) (BEY-BIENKO and MISTSHENKO, 1951; DESCAMPS, 1973; ZHENG and HANG, 1974; YIN, 1979; CHENG, 1981). However, this extends further south according to the occurrence of the Gomphomastacinae in western Nepal. In the following lines, a description of this new species is presented, together with that of the new genus and a key to the genera of the Gomphomastacinae. This is the first report dealing with the Nepalese Orthoptera brought forth by the National Science Museum party. Before going further, I wish to express my hearty thanks to Dr. Shun-Ichi UENO for giving me the privilege of studying the material of the Nepalese Orthoptera. Thanks are also due to Messrs. Masaaki TOMOKUNI and Mamoru OWADA who attentively collected grasshoppers for me as members of the Museum party.
