Abstract

The xerothermophilous grasshopper Acrotylus insubricus was found at a new, isolated site in Eastern Slovakia, at the northern boundary of its range. This is the first record in Slovakia after 60 years. In this paper this record is presented, with information on the habitat and accompanying species.
