Ergebnisse der Albanien-Expedition 1961 des Deutschen Entomologischen Institutes. 61. Beitrag. Verzeichnis albanischer Fundorte.

Abstract

At the request cf many collaborators and readers of our series of publications, a list of an places connected with finds in Albania is presented. It includes the names of alllocalities occurring in the evaluation of the expedition or mentioned in the reports of earlier collecting trips. For about 650 places the following data, as far as they could be established, are given: 1) the various names and their different spellings; 2) geographical situation, height above sea·level and, where this occasion arises, references to maps already published in the first reports; 3) position in the squares of the general map given here. These data are to be found in the alphabetical list under the present official Albanian appellation or the name which the author according to his knowledge of affairs regards as probably correct or most frequently used; lack of suitable maps made it impossible to ascertain the present official names of all localities. In case of alternative names or spellings differing in any of the first three letters, reference is made to the official or more frequent form. With regard to the latter names, the definite form with the article-ending is preferred to the indefinite form, e.g. Thethi instead of Theth, Durresi instead of Durres or Tirana instead of Tirane. The indefinite form is not listed separately as a synonym. The appendix is a compilation of those localities in the adjacent parts of Yugoslavia which in earlier faunistic studies were included in Albania on account of formerly different frontiers or the extension of collecting trips across the borders, but do not now belong to the territory of the People's Republic of Albania.
