Tóth László: A Bakony hegység futóbogár-alkatú faunájának alapvetése (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae et Carabidae)

steht der Buchstabe des Verassers im Klammern. 4. Die Faunenkleingegenden des Bakony-Gebirges werden hinter den Fundorten mit grossen Buchstaben bezeichnet: Bf = Balaton-Hochland, Kh = Keszthelyer-Gebirge, DB = Süd-Bakony, ÉB = Nord-Bakony und KB = OstBakony. 5. Abkürzungen der Unterkategorien der Art: ssp. = subspecies, var. = varietas, ab. = aberratio, m. = = morpha, n. = natio. Within the framework of „The Nature Landscape of the Bakony Mts.", the author has written a monograph of the ground-beetle fauna (Caraboidea) of this region. In an introduction he surveys the history of coleopterological research since from the year of 179.3. Special emphasis is laid on the year of 1962 when a very intensive research began. The basis of his research is a part of the Transdanubian Central Mountains of some 40 000 km2 known as the Bakony Mts. (after BULLA. 1962, Figs. 1 and 2). Following this a short natural-geographical review of the prevailing conditions is given. The material of this paper is based on the collection of the Bakony Natural History Museum and on the author's private collection, numbering some 5000 specimens. Owing to the nature of this work he made use of the extensive literary data (cf. References). In systematics and identification, the author accepted CSIKI's (1946) work. Some of the names have been adopted from the studies of HORION (1941), LINDROTH (1949). SZÉKESSY (1958). In discussing the genus Car abus the author followed the intraspecific categories of SEMENOV (1910). Each of the listed soecies has data on distribution and its typical area based on various catalogues. 1. Holarctic 2. Palaearctic 3. Western Palaearctic 4. Eurosiberian 5. European 6. Central European 7. Mediterranean 8. Pontomediterranean 9. Pontian 10. Balkan-Italian 11. Alpine (the main occurrence of this species is in the region of the Alps, but they may also be present in the high mountains of Europe and in isolated central mountains. The subalpine and montane elements also belong into this category when they show a similar distribution with the previous one.) 12. East Alpine (indentical with the alpine but occurs only in the East Alps, Carpathians and in the mountains of the Balkan Peninsula, occasionally they descend into the central mountains, too.) 13. Boreomontane (if the distribution of the species coincides with the boreoalpine distribution of HOLDHAUS and LINDROTH (1939) but in the deciduous zone). These are on the whole refuge localities and may be found even in southern high mountains. 14. Carpathian Basin 15. Introduced So far 3.30 ground-beetles have been shown to occur in the Bakony ts. The specific name is follewed by the 'type of distribution, ecological type, small region of the Bakony Mts., collecting circumstances, exact locality of collecting, phenological data, collector's name and the number of specimens collected. The author tries to find an answer that why these species occur in this region, what factors sustenance the prevalence of these species here? Mention is made about the environmental conditions, references based on experimental knowledge, primarily those which bear relation to the species occurring in the Bakony Mts. He especially discusses the abiotic factors among other external ones, considering our knowledge as to their adaptability and special requirements. The climatic factors are of decisive importance which conforms with the statements of THIELE (1968), PAARMAN (1966), LINDROTH (1949). He also makes reference to biotic factors, then passes on to the endogenic factors. Life-span, expanse of biotope and hibernation as well as movement, migration and biotope patriotism are also discussed. Individual frequency is put in the light of some ground trap cenological data. In the following, the author surveys the zoogeographical conditions of the Bakony Mts. This separate region is in the Central Mountains situated in the Carpathian Basin (cf. map). The part regions of the whole Bakony Mts. have different climatic effects, accordingly, their plant associations have been fromed. These plant accosiations exert microclimatic effects on the various stenotropic species which may occur as colouring elements of the fauna. The distribution of the species is shown in Figs. 40. 44, 46. 50, 55. 58, 59. The area type distribution of all the species is given in Table 1. The zoogeographical separation of the Bakony Mts. is further supported by the presence of the hereunder listed species (Fig. 40) : 1. Carabus problematicus problematicus HBST. It has not yet come forward from any other locality of the Transdanubian Central Mts. 2. Carabus scheidleri n. pseudoscheidleri MANDL. This form of the species has been restricted to the Lajta and Bakony Mts. and to the Burgenland. 3. Carabus arcensis arcensis HBST. It has not yet come forward from any other locality of the Transdanubian Central Mts. 4. Leistus piceus FRÖL. It has not yet come forward from any other locality of the Transdanubian Central Mts. 5. Bembidion coeruleum SERV. It has not yet come forward from any other locality of the Transdanubian Central Mts. 6. Bembidion schüppeli DEJ. No other locality is known from Transdanubia. 7. Bembidion doderoi GANGLB. No other locality is known from Transdanubia. 8. Bembidion elongatum Dej. Only one other locality is known from the Transdanubia, the Mecsek Mts. 9. Pterostichus fasciatopunctatus CREUTZ. Its Bakony locality marks the species easternmost point of distribution. Only one collecting site is known for this species in this region, it would be desirable to find further specimens to confirm its presence here. 10. Harpalus oblitus DEJ. It has not come forward from any other locality of the Transdanubian Central 350
