4. Tetrix bipunctata (Linnaeus, 1758) = dvopjegi / kratkoticalni monaški skakavac

First faunistic record for Croatia: Graber 1870

Also reported as: T. kraussi Saulcy, 1888 (Us 1967)

Distribution in Croatia: Frequent in Pannonian Croatia and Dinaric Alps north of Velebit Mt., recorded also in several localities in Istria and Kvarner.

Distribution in Europe: From Northern Greece, the Iberian Peninsula, Sardinia and Central Italy (southern border of the distribution) to Scandinavia (northern border) and Eastern European Russia (eastern border) (Hochkirch et al. 2016).

Taxonomic note. Some authors regard Tetrix kraussi Saulcy, 1888 a species distinct from T. bipunctata (e.g. Lehmann 2004, Defaut 2012b), but morphological and molecular data (Skejo & Hochkirch unpublished data) suggest it is only a wing morph of T. bipunctata and no synapomorphy (morphological nor genetic) confirms the specific status of T. kraussi, thus we regard it synonymous with T. bipunctata .
