About Chitaura indica Uvarov, 1929
Chitaura indica, a species of grasshopper, is found in South India. It was first described by Boris Uvarov in 1929, using specimens collected from Siddapura, which is located in the Karnataka portion of the Western Ghats. In the introduction of his original 1929 paper, Uvarov stated that the holotype of this species, along with nine other species he described in the same paper, was deposited in the collections of the Natural History Museum of Geneva. In reality, only the paratype of Chitaura indica was actually deposited in the Geneva museum's collections.
