| Summary: | The Collembolan fauna of the eastern end of the Mediterranean
is still very poorly known. Brown (1926)
made the first major contribution by describing twelve
species taken by Buxton and Evans in the region of
Amara and Baghdad in Iraq. Handschin (1942) recorded
all but one of these species from Palestine, and added 26
additional forms. In his recent paper upon the Collembola
taken during a speleological expedition in Lebanon, Cassagnau
(1951) added 25 new forms to this list. In
addition to these major works a number of smaller papers
have been published upon new material or further records. |
