Appearance

Pseudoprumna baldensis is a stockily built, light green grasshopper. Legs and hearing organ are mainly murky reddish grey.

Males reach a body length of 14–17 millimetres (0.55–0.67 in). Females 19–22 mm (0.75–0.87 in).

Range and habitat

This species is endemic to the Italian Alps. It is only known from the eastern slope of the Monte Baldo in altitudes of 1,650–1,800 metres (5,410–5,910 ft) and from three mountain groups west of Lake Garda. The latter occurrences were first discovered in 1992 by Adolf Nadig.

Pins are Wikidata “endemic to” fields. Orange dots, when present, are GBIF occurrence tiles — survey bias included.

Life history

Song, season, and a named mountain are how many of these insects were split. A silent valley after fire is an empty record.

Life history follows the order: complete metamorphosis in moths and beetles, nymphs in grasshoppers and bugs. This page does not invent a host plant that no source named.
