Chorthippus brunneus
(Thunberg, 1815)
=
dugokrili livadni skakavac
First faunistic record for
Croatia
:
Pongrácz 1944
[we consider this, the first Pannonian record of the species, the first exact record, because records prior to 1944 referred to the coastal area, where
C. bornhalmi
generally replaces
C. brunneus
]
Also reported as:
Gryllus bicolor
Charpentier, 1825
(
Pungur 1899
)
(see Taxonomic note)
Distribution in
Croatia
: Widespread and common in the Pannonian region and Northern Dinaric Alps. In the Mediterranean area locally common, but generally replaced by
C. bornhalmi
, with which it hybridizes in numerous localities from
Istria
to Dinara Mt. (central part of the Dinaric Alps) (
Skejo & Ivković 2015
). All records from the coastal area before the description of
C. bornhalmi
are regarded doubtful (especially from the Southern Adriatic Islands and Dubrovnik area).
Distribution in Europe: Widespread, from the Northern Iberian Peninsula to the Balkans and from
Ireland
to Northern
Finland
(
Hochkirch
et al.
2016
).
Taxonomic note:
Gryllus bicolor
Charpentier, 1825
is a junior subjective synonym of
C. brunneus
. However, the name has been used in the past for numerous
Chorthippus
spp. (e.g.
C. biguttulus
,
C. mollis
…), thus one should be careful when referring to historical records under this name.
