improbable. On the contrary its occurrence was proved in the south and central Hungary (new for Hungarian fauna). Some older authors (e.g., Herman 1871; Petricskó 1890; Pungur 1891; Chyzer 1897) mentioned the occurrence of Ectobius lividus from Central Europe (Slovakia, Hungary, Romania). This name is a synonym with Ectobius pallidus. Ectobius pallidus is widespread only in western Europe and northern Africa. In this case the data from Central Europe refer to either Ectobius lapponicus or E. erythronotus. Ectobius erythronotus ater was found only in Poland and Lithuania (Bazyluk 1961, 1976; Princis 1965). Because this subspecies was found near the border of Slovakia (Pieniny Mts, Bieszczady Mts.) its occurrence in northern Slovakia is probable. The genus Phyllodromica in the Carpathian Basin contains 7 species and subspecies. The megerlei species-group is substituted with Phyllodromica megerlei. This rare species occurred from Switzerland to Ukraine. The northern border of distribution is reached in Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Another 5 species belongs to the maculata species-group. The species Phyllodromica maculata is widely distributed, and has two geographical subspecies. Eastern border of the distribution area of the nominal (western) subspecies, Ph. maculata maculata, passes thiough Poland, Slovakia (Kysuca, Rajcianka and Nitra rivers), Hungary (Danube river) and Yugoslavia. Westwards it is distributed in Switzerland and Germany. Eastern, melanistic subspecies - Ph. maculata schaefferi - is known from Poland, middle and eastern Slovakia, eastern Hungary and Romania. Phyllodromica harzi is an endemic species of Slovensky kras (Mts.) (Slovakia) and probably Aggteleki-karszt (Mts.) (Hungary), Ph. chladeki is an endemic species of Muránska planina (Mts.) (Slovakia) and Ph. hungarica is an endemism of Bükk (Mts.), Zempléni-hegység (Mts.) (Hungary) and Zemplinske vrchy (Mts.) (Slovakia). The species Ph. transylvanica was found only in the surroundings of Cluj-Napoca (Romania). Frivaldszky (1867) mentioned the occurrence of the species Phyllodromica marginata from the surrounding of Sopron (Hungary). The occurrence of this species in the Carpathian Basin was not confirmed. This species is common in South Europe. REFERENCES Adelung, N. (1917): Contribution a la connaissance des Blattaires paléarctiques. I. Genre Ectobius Steph.
