Abstract :
Larvae of Charletonia krendowskyi (Feider, 1954) are reported both for the first time as ectoparasitic on adults of bush cricket Platycleis intermedia (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae), and from Turkey. The previously given metric data for this species has been compared. In addition, some structural abnormalities seen in this species are given. This is the third record of Charletonia associated with orthopterans of the family Tettigoniidae.
