Téglási-erdő (forest): Quercus robur, Carpinus betulus, Robinia pseudo-acacia and Populus alba were present. The area was very rich in Anemone nemorosa, A. ranunculoides and Viola odorata. This is a small isolated patch surrounded by railways, highways and settlements. 8. Peresi-erdő (forest): 45-50 year-old Quercus robur and Fraxinus angustifolia ssp. pannonica can be found there. Because of the inundation feature of the area Populus alba was also present. Both the shrub and the herbaceous layer were very rich (e.g., Fritillaria meleagris, Convallaria majális, Urtica dioicd). In Hungary 18-18 pitfall traps were used in every habitat during the sampling procedure in 1995. In the Ukraine 12-12 traps were operated in each habitat in 1996. The traps contained ethylene-glycol as a killing-preserving solution. Trapped individuals were collected monthly (Niemelä et al. 1990) from May to September in both years. All carabid beetles taken in pitfall traps were identified to species using standard keys (Csiki 1905-1908, Freude et al. 1976, Horvatovich 1974). Nomenclature follows Horvatovich (1993). Making biogeographical research of the carabid fauna of the Beregi-síkság we also used the carabid data of the Zempléni-hegység (mountains) (9-14) and the Aggtelekikarszt (mountains) (15-23) trapped from 1986 till 1996. We have samples from the fol-
