Abstract

Stenonemobius gracilis (Jakovlev, 1871) is an elusive cricket species whose presence in Croatia was expected, but never confirmed. Herewith we report that the Dwarf Cricket has been found in Croatia for the first time, in Kamenjak, Premantura, Istria in 2021. This is the 189th Orthoptera species reported from Croatia. The short note presents the photographic evidence of the species presence and describes its habitat. Identification tips given are useful for S. gracilis separation from S. bicolor ponticus Gorochov, 1984, another species of the genus inhabiting the country, whose new record
is presented-Lanterna bay in Istria.
