35. Chrysochraon dispar (Germar, 1834) = veliki zlatni skakavac (Fig. 8A) First faunistic record for Croatia: Us 1938 [without subspecies designation] Distribution in Croatia [of both 35.1 and 35.2]: Present in the Pannonian region, Dinaric Alps and Istria, localized. Subspecies hitherto known from Croatia: C. d. dispar, C. d. giganteus Harz, 1975. The latter is known from a single record in Istria (Ingrisch 1981), but in other regions of the country the authors did not specify the subspecies. Hence, it is necessary to test the presence of C. d. giganteus in the rest of the country. Presence of C. d. dispar is hitherto confirmed in Žumberak (Nagy 2006) and Papuk Mt. (Szövenyi & Puskás 2012). After the comparison of the material from Serbia, Croatia, Italy, Slovenia and Macedonia, we found that the subspecies described from Bosnia by Mikšić— C. d. intermedius Mikšić, 1978 syn. nov . is synonymous with C. d. giganteus, because it fits the variability range of the latter. Statuses of the nominal subspecies and of C. d. giganteus are unclear and need to be resolved. Distribution in Europe: Widely distributed from the Spanish Pyrenees, Northern Italy and Northeastern Greece (southern distribution border) to Northern Sweden (northern border) and Eastern European Russia (eastern border) (Hochkirch et al. 2016).
