<p>The present communication highlights the significant records of tettigoniids from Radhanagari Wildlife Sanctuary, Kolhapur, Maharashtra State.  A total of 11 species belonging to five subfamilies distributed over 11 genera are discussed.  Out of these 11 species nine are known from Maharashtra and two are new locality records.  Each subfamily is represented by only one species of which <em>Phyllozelus </em>(<em>Phyllozelus</em>)<em> siccus siccus </em>and <em>Hexacentrus unicolor </em>are new records to Maharashtra.</p><div> </div>

The morphology and mitotic karyotype of two species of Phyrgomorphidae, i.e., Chrotogonus trachypterus trachypterus and Colemania sphenarioides, collected from Chandoli National Park were studied. The mitotic karyotype of these species were prepared from testis and were stained with acetocarmine by conventional method. The result showed that the chromosome number of the two species are similar with 2n=19 (18+XO) in male and 2n=20 (18+XX) in female. The karyotype formula of Chrotogonus trachypterus trachypterus is L t 2+M t 5+S t 2 and that of Colemania sphenarioides is L t 3+M t 4+S t 2.
