Measurements (mm). Length of body: male 47.1–57, female 46–60; pronotum: male 15–20, female 13–17; hind femur: male 17–22.5, female 19.5–23; ovipositor: 29–34.5 ( Harz 1969; Ünal 2011).

Remarks. Two specimens labelled as Hungary were studied in the NHMUK and ZIN. There are also some old records from Hungary ( Fischer 1853; some identified by Boldyrev in 1927, see above). Ebner & Beier (1964) giving its distribution pointed out that it was formerly also in Hungary. It seems that those old records related to the former country borders.

Some historical populations shown in the map may have become extinct today ( Iorgu 2009; Lemonnier- Darcemont et al., 2009; Ivković et al. 2016).

According to Burr (in Burr et al. 1923) “… the individual variablity in the species of Bradyporus (apart from B. dasypus which is fairly constant in its characters) is enormous, and there exist hardly more than a single species, besides the B. dasypus , but it may be subdivided into several geographical races (subspecies). ” Later Karaman (1961) described a new form, Bradyporus (Bradyporus) dasypus f. bilineatus Karaman, 1961 from Macedonia. I have studied some specimens from Macedonia. These specimens have larger pronotum, with blunter and lighter lateral carinae. But similar characters are seen in some other populations and the other characters including titillator do not lead to separation in a different taxon.

This species is in “Least Concern” status in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (2016–3) and in the European Red List of Orthoptera ( Hochkirch et al. 2016) .
