Bálint, Zs. ; Abadjiev, S.: An annotated list of Imre Frivaldszky's publications and the species-group and infraspecies names proposed by him for plants and animals (Regnum Plantare and Animale)

tlement of the whole institute (cf. MATSKÁSI 2002). This makes intense and detailed bibliographic studies almost impossible. However, it is hoped that it can be completed in the near future. Similarly, detection and revision of all the speciesgroup names listed is beyond the purpose of the present work. This task needs considerable knowledge in the taxonomy and science history of the groups involved. However, our work is the first step for a final revision of all these names and of their type material, which is planned to be published in a single volume under the title "Animal and plant names proposed by IMRE FRIVALDSZKY: Their nomenclature and taxonomic history" in coorperation of the broader staff of our institutes. Consequently, this paper does not give a full list of IMRE FRIVALDSZKY published work, as he also published faunistical surveys in a strict sense (FRIVALDSZKY 1854,1863), but he was also involved in applied entomology (FRIVALDSZKY 1848), not to mention his most well-known doctoral thesis (FRIVALDSZKY 1823) and an extensive catalogue published for mercantile purposes (FRIVALDSZKY 1834). Moreover, I. FRIVALDSZKY'

s manuscript legacy is enormous: besides all the documentation of the expeditions he organized (accounts, diaries, letters and passes), in the archives of the HNHM there are manuscripts of several books of high historical value. The scientific elaboration of these documents is also beyond the scope of the present study. MATERIALS AND METHODS All the publications of IMRE FRIVALDSZKY containing descriptions of animals and plants with formal establishment of scientific names or nude usage of Latin binomens with indication to I. FRIVALDSZKY as author are listed in a chronological order. I. FRIVALDSZKY'

s names are given always according to the cited publications. The papers were published in German, Flungarian and Latin. Therefore, the English translation of the titles are provided by us between square brackets if the original is in Hungarian. As the works of I. FRIVALDSZKY are very rare, we present their HNHM Library inventory number or other location if the original of the published item cannot be found in Budapest. We mention here that all the papers discussed can be found in a photocopied version in the "Frivaldszky Imre" file of the HNHM Lepidoptera reprint collection. In the closing note a brief description of the publication is given for informing the reader unfamiliar with the works of I. FRIVALDSZKY, but interested in the animals or plants he worked with. Species-group names proposed by IMRE FRIVALDSZKY were compiled from his published papers and books. The compiled names are given according to their original scripts and spellings. The names are grouped in two large kingdoms: plants and animals. Therein the names are listed in alphabetical order according to their generic name of the original combination in the case of plants, since all the involved taxa are anthophytous. The animals are grouped according the three phyla Arthropoda, Mollusca and Vcrtebrata, also in alphabetical order. As a main entry for the species-group names, the first published binomen is given always with reference to the family (in brackets), where the taxon actually belongs.
