A SURVEY OF THE INSECT FOSSILS HITHERTO KNOWN FROM THE CARPATHIAN BASIN AND THE NEIGHBOURING TERRITORIES Studies on the fossil insects of the Carpathian Basin and the neighbouring territories have old traditions. The first two localities which already were investigated in the middle of the 19th century are Daia (earlier: Dolmány) in Transylvania (now in Romania) (Upper Miocene) (ANDRÄ 1855) and Radoboj in Croatia (Lower Miocene) (CHARPENTIER 1841, UNGER 1841). The extremely rich material of Radoboj was described in detail by HEER (1847, 1849,1853) in the three volumes of his monograph on the fossil insects of Ohningen (Germany, at the lake Boden) and Radoboj. Later, among other researchers, SÁNDOR PONGRÁCZ described new fossil taxa from Radoboj (e.g. PONGRÁCZ 1917). In the present paper the localities with fossil insects (or insect traces) known from the Carpathian Basin and the nearby territories are listed below. The number in parentheses after the name of the locality agrees with the code number of the given locality on Figure 1, while the number after the name of the taxon means the number of species recognized there. In the present list the unpublished fossil insect material of the Hungarian Geological Institute, and the large number of entomologically unstudied silicified wood remains with presumably many insect traces in different Hungarian collections are not considered.
