First faunistic record for Croatia: Puskás et al. 2018

Distribution in Croatia: Recorded for the first time in 2011 on Psunj Mt. and Dilj Mt. in the Pannonian region (Šumetlica, Donji Slatinik: Puskás et al. 2018). This species is easily mistaken for M. frontalis , reliable diagnostic characters being male genitalia ( Harz 1969) and song (Iorgu & Iorgu 2007).

Distribution in Europe: Southeastern Europe, currently known from Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, FYR Macedonia, Bulgaria, Romania, Greece and European Turkey. Probably present also in Kosovo and Bosnia and Herzegovina (Chobanov et al. 2016).
