NAUJOS IR RETOS LIETUVOS VABZDŽI RŠYS. 24 tomas 49 NEW RECORDS OF THREE RARE ORTHOPTERA SPECIES FROM LITHUANIA EDUARDAS BUDRYS, ANNA BUDRIEN Nature Research Centre, Akademijos 2, LT-08412 Vilnius, Lithuania. E-mail: ebudrys@ekoi.lt Introduction The current check-list of Orthoptera of Lithuanian fauna includes 44 species (Budrys & Pakalniškis, 2007; Budrys et al., 2008; Ivinskis & Rimšait, 2008; saitis & Bumbulyt, 2011; Heller, 2012). One of them [Euthystira brachyptera (Ocskay, 1826)] is published in the Fauna Europaea database (Heller, 2012) and may occur in Lithuania according to its general distribution, however, we have neither data on recent observations nor preserved specimens in the available collections. Two more species [Gomphocerippus rufus (Linnaeus, 1758) and Omocestus rufipes (Zetterstedt, 1821)] have been published in an earlier version of Fauna Europaea database as present in Lithuania without documented evidence, however, recently they have been removed from the check-list of Lithuanian fauna. Nevertheless, these two species sporadically occur in the neighbouring north-eastern part of Poland (Bazyluk & Liana, 2000) and may be found in Lithuania in the future. The aim of this publication is presentation of new data on three rare and scarcely recorded in Lithuania orthopteran species. Material and Methods The insects were directly observed or collected by hand or using entomological net. The collected specimens are preserved in the Nature Research Centre (Vilnius).
