Abstract:

An indoor hybridization experiment by forced mating between two grasshoppers: Caryanda macrocercusa and C. cultricerca
were carried out. Results showed that the reciprocal crosses in the two species could produce fertile progeny F1; these differential
characters of F1 same as F2 were intermediate between the parents. The results indicated that the reproductive isolation between C.
macrocercusa and C. cultricerca was not yet formed. The two nominal species were the different subspecies of the same species. The
heredity of the differential characters didn't conform to the single-gene dominant genetic law.

Key words: Caryanda macrocercusa, C. cultricerca, hybridization, reproductive isolation, species
