6.7 Oedipoda germanica (Latreille, 1804)

Ch: SEU; ERL: LC; V; %C: 6.47; ER: 1480-2820 m; Ph: VIII-IX

Most O. germanica individuals have been observed at low elevations in the study area (i.e. up to 1920 m), preferring warm and dry rocky grasslands. A single exception is provided by the specimen collected at 2820 in the Varaita Valley (Passo della Losetta-Passo Vallanta path, Pontechianale; 27/08/2020; DG), representing, according to the available data, a new altitudinal record for this taxon in Italy and in the whole W-Alpine region .
