Holuša, Jaroslav, Kočárek, Petr, Vlk, Robert & Marhoul, Pavel, 2013, Annotated checklist of the grasshoppers and crickets (Orthoptera) of the Czech Republic, Zootaxa 3616 (5), pp. 437-460 : 441

Barbitistes serricauda (Fabricius, 1798)

Material examined. Moravia mer., NP Podyjí—Lipinská louka, 8.v.2009, 1 nymph M, 1 nymph F, reared, P. Marhoul leg., det. et coll., 27.vi.2011, 1 nymph M, 1 nymph F, reared, R. Vlk leg., det. et coll.

Area of distribution is situated inside a belt extending from Belgium and eastern France through central Europe to the north of the Balkan Peninsula and Ukraina (Kočárek et al. 2005). In neighboring countries, it occurs in Germany (Ingrisch & Köhler 1998), Austria (Zuna-Kratky et al. 2009), and western Slovakia (I–Klub Slovenských Orthopterológov 2006-2012). Therefore, the occurrence in Bohemia is possible, especially given the occurrence in Germany near the Czech border (DGFO 2012); it is mentioned by Haury & Nickerl (1905) but without specific information concerning locality. Other findings are not dependable (Obenberger 1926; Chládek 1979). It is reliably documented only from southern Moravia (Chládek 1979; Holuša 2003; as noted earlier in this report).

Isophya pienensis Ma ř an, 1954

Material examined. Moravia mer., Sobĕšice, 1998, 1M, 1F, F. Chládek leg. et det., R. Vlk coll.

It was described relatively recently from the Pieniny Mts. in Slovakia (Mařan 1954). In the CR, it was found for the first time in 2004 at several localities in the Moravskoslezské Beskydy Mts. (Kočárek & Holuša 2006). Other findings were published from southern Moravia (Sobĕšice, Braitava) (Chládek 2010a, 2011) and the White Carpathians [= Bílé Karpaty Mts.] (Holuša et al. 2012a), from the Rychlebské hory Mts. (Petříkov), and also from the Orlické hory Mts. in Bohemia (Deštné) (Chládek 2010a, 2011). The identification is difficult; the species is distinguished by its characteristic stridulation and by the structure of the stridulatory apparatus (Kočárek et al. 2005).
