Probably, this is the only one recorded in Romania, but two other species are known from adjacent Moldova, so probably best t keep I'd at Genus until you can eliminate those two.

This prompted me to look at my map app was shocked to realise I’m currently only 10 miles from the Moldovan border. Although the grasshoper was back at tulcea
