23. Arcyptera microptera (Fischer von Waldheim, 1833) = istarski žarki skakavac

First faunistic record for Croatia: Bellmann 1993 [ Pungur’s (1899) records of Stethophyma flavicosta Fisch. are to be checked]

Also reported as: Stethophyma flavicosta ( Fischer, 1853) ( Pungur 1899)

Distribution in Croatia: Recorded only on a few localities in Istria. There are literature records for this species from Croatia, but all revised museum material from Croatia identified as A. microptera was found to belong to A. brevipennis . First exact records of the species are photos of a male and a female from Marčana ( Bellmann 1993, 2006). Its known distribution in Istria was expanded recently after the research of Roesti and Rutschmann (http:// www. orthoptera .ch/orthoptera-galerie/item/istrien-2014).

Distribution in Europe: Mosaic distribution (without continuity in distribution area), a lot of severely fragmented subpopulations exist in Southern Europe (including the Iberian peninsula, Southern France, Southern Italy and the Balkans), Pannonian Basin, and Ukraine ( Hochkirch et al. 2016).

IUCN Red List status: [Least Concern (Europe)], Vulnerable (EU28) ( Hochkirch et al. 2016).
