THE ORIBATID FAUNA OF THE OLD JUNIPER WOODLAND OF BARCS, HUNGARY (ACARI: ORIBATIDA) Sándor MAHUNKA MAHUNKA, S.: The Oribatid fauna of the Old Juniper Woodland of Barcs, SW Hungary /Acari: Oribatida/. Abstract.A study concerning the Oribatid fauna of the nature conservation area of Bares is presented. 101 species are listed from this region of which one is new to science: Moritziella uherkovichi sp. n. The Old Juniper Woodland between Bares and Darány is a nature conservation area of special interest in the south-western part of Transdanubia. It is an arrenacepus region, poor in chalk, with woods and several marshy or boggy depressions. B0R.HIDI /1957/ elaborated this region botanically, while interesting groups of animals especially from soil-zoological point of wiew have been published by LOKSA /1978/, NEMESTÓTHI and MAHUNKA /1981/ and IHAROS /1981/. Interestingly enough no Oribatids have been discussed from this region, although this group of animals is highly important from soil-zoological viewpoint. Though it deserves mention that since 1976 regular sampling of the area has started performed mainly by I. Loksa and S. Mahunka and his collaborators when various collecting localities have been visited. The list of collectings is given hereunder complemented with a map to show the localities""frequented /Map 1/. The examined samples were collected from the following seven parts of the natural conservation area: 1. Environs of Kuti-őrház /Researchers' House/: H-1614 K : from dry oak wood of a higher altitude, soil and litter, 16. VIII. 1976. leg. S. Mahunka and L. Mahunka-Papp. H-1626: from various points, ooth dry and moist, of an oak wood /of approx. 80 years old/ soil and litter, 16. VIII. 1976, leg. S. Mahunka and L. MahunkaPapp. H-2010: sample from an ant-nest taken in an oak sood, 1. VII. 1978. leg. L. Zombori. H-2204: lichen sample from the trunk and branches of Juniperus, 16. III. 1979. leg. S. Mahunka and L. Mahunka-Papp . H-2490: sifted litter and wood debris from an oak wood, 8. X. 1984. leg. 0. Merkl. 2. Nagyberek, western side: H-1616: ant-nest of Lasius niger, 16. VIII. 1976, leg. S. Mahunka and L.
