Abstract

Summary: We present a list of Orthoptera from the Ovčar–Kablar Gorge, situated in western Serbia. During 2015 and 2016 we collected 86 Orthoptera species (50 Ensifera, 36 Caelifera). The majority of the species were registered for the first time for the locality and the presence of Pachytrachis frater (Tettigoniidae) in Serbia is confirmed. This study is intended to provide data for future conservation planning, to expand knowledge about rare species and to point to the high natural value of the Gorge.
