As mentioned previously there is: Vickery, V.R. 1961. The Orthoptera of Nova Scotia. Proceedings of the =20= Nova Scotian Institute of Science, 25(1): 1-70.

Agriculture Canada: Research Brach =20 publication 1777. 918 pp. This is a superb volume with species accounts, range maps, keys, =20 illustrations, glossary, literature cited, etc. It is available =20 through NHBS (and other vendors as well) for 29 GBP (=3D ~ $61 CAD). http://www.nhbs.com/title.php?tefno=3D37055 One used to be able to buy it (and other volumes of the The Insects =20 and Arachnids of Canada series) directly from Agriculture Canada but =20 I'm not sure if this is still possible and I can't find the contacts.
