An interesting order of orthoptera for me, I want to study better. I am just starting out in Orthoptera identification but I need help with good identification keys at the genus and species level. So if you know some of them, please recommend to me.
My material (Orthoptera) is from Georgia (Caucasus).
Thank you in advance.
Thanks for answer.
Of course I use the internet space, otherwise it is unbelievable. However, my material is quite diverse and it is difficult to find all the information, so I asked for help here where there are experienced scientists. Hopefully, in parallel with my research, experienced people will be able to inform me.

Hello Eka,
the standard reference are the two-volumes from Russia:
Bei-Bienko & Mistshenko 1963 and 1964, the english versions can both be downloaded from the BiodiversityLibrary:

I also have the Russian originals on my shelve.
For any further assistance - we are in contact!
Greetings,

There are a number of Entomology text books which contain detail keys to the species level.
This paper could also be helpful:

unfortunately the Mulder and Mulder article recommended by Josip contains multiple errors... Inside the CaBol Project we are currently preparing a corrected species list for Georgia.
It is good to know, Arne :) Thanks for sharing this information. I am looking forward to seeing your publication. It's always interesting to read about the fauna of the Caucasian region. All the best.
Take a clear picture of the insect and then ask Google camera to search it for you. Then see some of the insect features in insect keys.
A BOOK--Charles A. Triplehorn and Norman F. Johnson. (2004). STUDY OF INSECTS 7th Edition. Boston: Cengage Learning. It,s good information source.
