  • Zubovskya morii (Bey-Bienko, 1931) was rediscovered from its type locality, Mount Baekdusan, from materials collected by Bulgarian zoological expeditions to North Korea in the 1970s. This grasshopper species is endemic to North Korea and for the past 85 years was known only from a single holotype male. In the present study we describe the female Z. morii for the first time. A revised checklist of Orthoptera at Mount Baekdusan (also known as Changbaishan in China) is also provided. A new synonymy, Zubovskya longifurcula (Jin et al., 2011), syn. nov. for Zubovskya koreana Mistshenko, 1952 is proposed here.
