Abstract:

Isophya modesta, a bush-cricket species belonging to the subfamily Phaneropterinae, was found for the first time outside of the forest-steppe zone. This study is the first report on I. modesta in Poland. It was found at our sites in the Przemyśl Foothills (Pogórze Przemyskie) in the south-eastern Polish Carpathians, where I. modesta inhabits xerothermic grasslands, dry and semi-dry meadows, but also successional meadows on abandoned arable land. One site occupied by I. modesta in the Przemyśl Foothills is located within a nature reserve, but other sites may be threatened by secondary succession or afforestation. We estimated population densities of around 30–80 adult individuals per hectare, and the whole known population consisted of a total of 3,000 to 15,000 adult individuals. The discovered populations may either be insular in character or connected by a continuous range with populations from Opilia Upland in Western Ukraine.
