Abstract: On the basis of the dynamic faunistic element conception, the 75 Orthoptera species of the Bükk Mountains it may be divided into two major groups: the Siberian and the Mediterranean types. On the basis of the fauna analysis, the Bükk Mountains may be divided into three major zones (forested, submountainous and mountainous), wich are characterized by special fauna-ratio. The submountainsous zone has a special position playing an intermediate-screening role between the forested steppe, while the mountainous zones mediating the Siberian and screening the Mediterranean elements. This special position originates from the similarity of the slope-steppes of forested steppes and grasslands of the mountainous zone having shallow soil and occurring near the peaks owing to edaphic reasons.Journal: Folia entomologica hungaricaJournal abbreviation: Folia ent. hung.ISSN: 0373-9465Publisher: , Editor(s): Mahunka, S.
