Sažetak
Croatian Orthoptera were never systematically studied in the past, there are only data dispersed in a lot of publications by foreign authors. In the last three years of intensive research of Croatian Orthoptera, we have added more than thirty species to the national fauna and omitted about twenty species which were included in the former lists. For example: Rammeihippus dinaricus was found for the very first time since the description of the species, western border of the Leptophyes discoidalis distribution was reported and some of the recent problems of European Tetrigidae taxonomy were solved and a new subspecies – Tetrix transsylvanica hypsocorypha was described. For the first time, exhaustive faunistical research was performed on Papuk Mtand Dinara Mountain. We found a new species from the genus Gryllotalpa, a new species from the Poecilimon elegans group and Balkan species of the genus Psorodonotus are being reviewed. One of the oldest mysteries of Croatian and European orthopterology, the Platycleis kraussi case has just been solved (Skejo et al. in prep.), Stenobothrus croaticus was re- discovered, as well as Rhacocleis buchichii, Barbitistes kaltenbachi and Paramogoplistes novaki – all of them in new and interesting localities. There are a lot of ongoing projects concerning the Chorhippus biguttulus aggregate, the Platycleidini tribe, the description of a new species of Leptophyes from the Dinaric Alps (Szövényi & Puskás in litt.), new cryptic species of Oedipoda (Hochkirch in litt.), the discovery of Xya variegata (and checking out for some new localities) and our major project: the first annotated checklist and catalogue of Croatian grasshoppers. There are a lot of novelties concerning molecular, morphological, morphometrical, ecological and bioacoustical data.
