Bieszczadzki Park Narodowy - Invertebrate fauna

The studies completed in the area regarded various systematic groups and were most often fragmentary. Only several invertebrate groups were studied fairly thoroughly. In spite of that limited scope, most of the studies provided important information on species new to science, unique species and on a great number of East-Carpathian and South-east-Carpathian endemics. This information was collected in the course of studies covering more than ten groups, including:

— earth-worms Lumbricidae — Plisko 1971, Kostecka and Skoczeñ 1993;

— chilopods Chilopoda — Kaczmarek 1979;

— diplopods Diplopoda and book scorpions Pseudoscorpiones — Jedryczkowski 1979, 1987;

— caddis-flies Trichoptera, May-flies Ephemeroptera, sandstone-flies Plecoptera — Szczêsny 1966, Sowa 1970, 1975, Skwarczynska and Sowa 1989, Klonowska 1987, Klonowska-Olejnik and Szczesny (in preparation), Dumnicka and Kukula 1990, Kukula 1991, Kittel and Wojtas 1991;

— beetles Coleoptera — Szujecki 1969, 1970, 1987, Witkowski 1970, Burakowski 1971, Burakowski et al. 1973, 1974, Pawlowski 1975, Petryszak 1977, 1979, and Borowiec 1984;

— orthopterans Orthoptera — Bazyluk 1971;

— apterous insects Apterygota — Sterzynska (in preparation);

— daddy-long-legs Opiliones — Rafalski 1956, 1958, Starêga 1966;

— spiders Aranei — Starega 1971, 1972, 1983;

— terrestrial snails and slugs Gastropoda terrestria — Kotula 1882, Ridel 1988.

The research in other groups is less advanced. The knowledge of the Bieszczady mountains invertebrates is summarized in the “Bieszczady Monographs” [Monografie bieszczadzkie], vol. 7 and 8 (ed. J. Pawlowski).
