Bryophyma debilis (Karsch, 1896) nymphal instars (Orthoptera, Acrididae, Cyrtacanthacridinae)

Hopper instars of #Bryophyma debilis#, an acridian species from Burkina Faso, are described here for the first time. Males have a five instarcycle and females six. Each instar is fully described on the basis of ten different morphologic and pigmentation characters, thus facilitating field reports on this poorly known West African grasshopper.
