Taxonomy of the genus is unclear, so here we list the species alphabetically, not assigned to subgenera, as proposed in Cigliano
et al.
(2017). The genus can be divided into species groups, of which the following groups and species are present in Croatia—(1)
C. albomarginatus
group (including only
C. oschei pusztaensis
), (2)
C.
apricarius
group (including only
C. apricarius
), (3)
C. biguttulus
group (including six species, and two additional subspecies—
C. b.
biguttulus
,
C. bornhalmi
,
C. brunneus
,
C. eisentrauti
,
C. mollis
with subspecies
C. m. ignifer, C. m
lesinensis
, C. m.
mollis
, and
C. v. vagans
) and (4)
C. dorsatus
group (including three species—
C. dichrous
,
C. dorsatus
,
C. loratus
). The group of
Chorthippus parallelus
(in Europe includes
C. montanus
,
C. parallelus
,
C. smardai
,
C. tatrae
, in
Croatia
only
C. parallelus
present) was assigned to a separate genus by
Defaut (2012a)
, namely
Pseudochorthippus
, and
C. parallelus
is here accordingly treated as a species of that genus.
