Abstract
This is the first paper from the series Catalogus collectionum entomologicarum Divisionis zoologicae Facultatis scientiarum naturalium et matematicarum Zagrabiae (Catalogue of the entomological collections of the Division of Zoology of the Faculty of Science in Zagreb). The paper presents the catalogue of the Boža
Pokopac Orthoptera collection made in 1956 during Boža’s master’s thesis research into the Orthopteran fauna in the vicinity of Bjelovar. In total, 99 specimens of the 286 reported in the master’s thesis were found. Among them is a new species for Croatian fauna – Stenobothrus crassipes. The need for the conservation
of the entomological collections in Croatian faculties and museums
is briefly noted.
