FOLIA ENTOMOLOGICA HUNGARICA ROVARTANI KÖZLEMÉNYEK XXVI. 2 1985 p. 23-26 Zoological collecting trips in Armenia, VI. By Z. KORSÓS and T. VÁSÁRHELYI (Received 30 May, 1985) Abstract: A list of Armenian localities complete with data is given for the sixth collecting trip made in October, 1985. Through the agreement between the Armenian Academy of Sciences and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences we had the opportunity to visit Yerevan and its surroundings in October, 1985. Our host was the Institute of Zoology of the Armenian Academy of Sciences (Yerevan), in person Dr. A. Y. TERTERIAN, head of the Entomological Department, Dr. E. HERTHEVTSIAN and V.S. HOVANESIAN. Our sincere thanks are due to all of them as well as to the unofficial helpers Dr. E.G. AKR AMOVSKAYA, Dr. E. ARUTIUNIAN, Dr. A. KURBET and A. AG ASIAN. The main purpose of the trip was to collect invertebrate and cold-blooded vertebrate material and to investigate economically important species. Due to the unfortunate facts that the trip was carried out too late in the season, when the vegetation was already mostly dry, and that there was no possibility to organize longer collecting trips, far from the industrialized and cultivated surroundings of Yerevan, the result of the trip was poorer than that of the first explorations by the Hungarian Natural History Museum (see References). Nevertheless, it was the first occasion when myriapods and lower vertebrates (first author) and overwintering forms of Hemiptera (second author) were given a special attention. Below we give a list of the collecting data beginning with No. 309 since the collectings of the Hungarian Natural History Museum have continuous numbering. In every case the collectors are the authors. The abbreviations are the following: Nem. = Nematoda Hym. = Hymenoptera Ann. Annelida Dipt. = Diptera Dec. = Decapoda Neur. = Neuroptera Isop. = Isopoda Trich. • Trichoptera Dipl. = Diplopoda Lep. Lepidoptera Chil. = Chilopoda Sc orp . = Scorpionoidea Mach. = Machilidea Pseud. = Pseudoscorpionoidea Coll. = Collembola Solif. = Solifugae Eph. = Ephemeroptera Aran. = Araneae Blat. = Blattaria Phal. = Phalangidea Mant. = Mantoidea Acar. = Acaroidea Orth. = Orthoptera Moll. = Mollusca Derm. = Dermaptera Pise. = Pisces Het. = Heteroptera Amph. = Amphibia Horn. = Homoptera Rept. = Reptilia Col. = Coleoptera
