Abstract
Gryllomorpha miramae Medvedev, 1933 was collected in Zaporizhzhia and Kherson Regions of Ukraine. These are the first records of the species within Ukraine since more than 60 years from previous (and the first) record of the species within Zaporizhzhia Region. The species was found within intact and damaged steppe habitats. Our investigation shows that middle-age larvae demonstrate typical for the species coloration and shape of denticles of outer surface of hind tibia. This contribution provides first COI sequence for G. miramae.
