Indeling

Tetrigidae [familie]
Tetrix [genus] (5/5)
bipunctata [soort]

The Two-spotted Ground-hopper used to occur in a few localities on the Veluwe. The last specimens were found in 1975. Despite thorough searching the old localities, it could not be refound. We therefore consider T. bipunc­tata to be extinct from The Netherlands. It used to occur on a forest track and in heathland area. Because the species is comparatively difficult to find, there is a slight possibility that it has been overlooked. The Dutch specimens belong to the form with longer wings.
