Habitat
This stenotopic and cryptic species inhabits only well preserved alpine meadows and rocky grassland in high elevations (1,700–2,000 m a.s.l.). It resembles Pseudochorthippus parallelus and P. montanus, so it is likely that it belongs to genus Pseudochorthippus but phylogenetic reconstruction is needed.
Abundance
Endemic species, the rarest Chorthippus species with very limited distribution in high altitudes of Belianske Tatry Mts in N Slovakia. Particular sites are well populated till now.
