  • The majority of papers regarding Serbian Orthoptera were published at the end of 19th and in 20th century by just a few authors: Pančić (1883), Adamović (1975), Grebenščikov (1947, 1949, 1950), Karaman (1958, 1958a, 1960, 1961, 1961a), Matvejev (1976, 1978, 1983), Ramme (1931, 1931a, 1933, 1939, 1951), Brunner von Wattenwyl (1861, 1861a, 1878,1882), Frivaldszky (1876) and Ebner (1908, 1924) (summary in Ingrish & Willemse, 2004). However, the fauna of this group remains poorly studied, with a total of 164 species recorded for Serbia (Pavićević & Karaman, 2001), leaving many regions in the country largely understudied. In the last few years, special attention has been given to the southern parts of Serbia, which have proved to host unique and diverse insect fauna, with many species usually found only in the sub-Mediterranean and Mediterranean area (Đurđević & Đurić, 2011; Popović, Radevski, Miljević, & Đurić, 2014; Popović & Milenković, 2012). Here we describe the discovery of Anacridium aegyptium (Linnaeus, 1764) in the Pčinja valley, thus confirming its presence in Serbia.
