Abstract: The first recent record of the grasshopper Oedaleus decorus (German, 1825) from
southern Moravia (Vojenské cvičiště Bzenec Natural Monument, Czech Republic)
is given. O. decorus is a very rare species on the northern edge of its
distribution. This is the first note discussing its status in the Czech Republic
and the circumstances of its discovery are discussed (this being the first
record for the Czech Republic for 45 years). It appears that the specimens were
introduced to the Czech Republic by an unknown person.
Key words: Grasshopper, migration, introduction, distribution, faunistics, Czech Republic, Central Europe
