genus Chorthippus Fieber, 1851 = livadni skakavci

Taxonomy of the genus is unclear, so here we list the species alphabetically, not assigned to subgenera, as proposed in Cigliano et al. (2017). The genus can be divided into species groups, of which the following groups and species are present in Croatia—(1) C. albomarginatus group (including only C. oschei pusztaensis ), (2) C. apricarius group (including only C. apricarius ), (3) C. biguttulus group (including six species, and two additional subspecies— C. b. biguttulus , C. bornhalmi , C. brunneus , C. eisentrauti , C. mollis with subspecies C. m. ignifer, C. m lesinensis , C. m. mollis , and C. v. vagans ) and (4) C. dorsatus group (including three species— C. dichrous , C. dorsatus , C. loratus ). The group of Chorthippus parallelus (in Europe includes C. montanus , C. parallelus , C. smardai , C. tatrae , in Croatia only C. parallelus present) was assigned to a separate genus by Defaut (2012a), namely Pseudochorthippus , and C. parallelus is here accordingly treated as a species of that genus.
