The fourth species of the genus Leptophyes - Leptophyes punctatissima (Bosc, 1792) was finally found also in Slovenia. The finding was expected since the species is known from all the neighbouring countries. Two males of L. punctatissima were found on two localities in south-western Slovenia - one on Petrinjski Kras near Petrinje in 2003 and one close to Gornje Vreme near Pivka in the valley of the river Reka in 2006. We describe morphological characteristics and bioacoustics of the newly found species. L. punctatissima can be easily distinguished from other Leptophyes species living in Slovenia by the thin, curved cerci, long brown stripe on the upper side of the body and longer and characteristically marked tegmina.
