48. Pseudochorthippus parallelus (Zetterstedt, 1821) = obični livadni skakavac

First faunistic record for Croatia: Graber 1870

Also reported as: Stenobothrus pratorum (Fieber, 1852) ( Graber 1870) , Chorthippus longicornis Latreille [correct author of Stenobothrus longicornis is Jacobson, 1905] ( Adamović 1964), P. montanus ( Charpentier, 1825) ( Rebrina et al. 2015)

Distribution in Croatia: Population not yet assigned to subspecies. Common and widespread in the whole country. Some individuals from the populations in the Dinaric Alps resemble P. montanus in morphology, but the latter is not present in Croatia according to the current knowledge. Perceived similarity is a consequence of high morphological variability of P. parallelus in the West Balkans ( Rebrina et al. 2015).

Distribution in Europe: Widespread, from the southern part of the Iberian Peninsula and the Peloponnesus (southern distribution border) to Northern Finland (northern border) and from the Portuguese Atlantic coast (western border) to Eastern European Russia (Eastern border) ( Hochkirch et al. 2016).
