Material was collected by sweeping herb and shrub layer and beating of lower part of tree vegetation and supplemented with individual collection of specimens. In the area we found 55 Orthoptera and one Mantodea species. The most frequent species were Chorthippus parallelus, Metrioptera roeselii and Pholidoptera griseoaptera. Detrended correspondence analysis revealed that there was continuous variation in sampled species assemblages. Thus, it was not possible to define distinct types of orthopteran assemblages in the data set. Species turnover among sites (beta diversity) was smaller for Caelifera species than for Ensifera species. Three species of European importance (Isophya stysi, Pholidoptera transsylvanica and Odontopodisma rubripes) were also found. Distributional patterns and ecology of three Habitats Directive species, four endemics and 11 other zoogeographically important species are discussed.
