Abstract:
The insect fauna of the Dinarides is not widely studied. In 2013 and 2014, an orthopterological survey was
conducted on the Poštak Mountain and its surroundings in the Lika region (Croatia), in order to sample the orthopteran
communities of the prominent habitat types of the area. From 24 sampling sites, 80 Orthoptera species (44 Ensifera and 36
Caelifera) were collected, which amounts to almost half the known species in Croatia. One species, Pholidoptera
frivaldszkyi, is recorded for the first time in the country.
