Alpine tundra areas are threatened by anthropogenic climate change. They are also often represented as hotspots of endemism. Studying the insect communities associated with these habitats is therefore highly relevant. Melanoplus gaspesiensis Vickery is a grasshopper species known for its extremely limited distribution; it is considered endemic to Mont Albert, on the Gaspé Peninsula, Québec, Canada. Given its extremely limited distribution and with its habitat being particularly sensitive to climate change, the species is likely to soon be considered “at risk” at both the provincial and national levels. In order to confirm the current distribution of M. gaspesiensis, we sampled Acrididae on four alpine summits of the Gaspé Peninsula. Four species of Acrididae were captured. Almost 85% of the captured specimens were M. gaspesiensis, all of which were captured on Mont Albert. Our data are thus coherent with the species being endemic to that summit. The unique geology of Mont Albert (serpentine) may explain why M. gaspesiensis appears to be restricted to this one summit.
