Europäische Libellen (Odonata) in der Sammlung des Zoologischen Museums der Universität Greifswald.

The European Odonata of the collection in the Zoological Museum of the University Greifswald were registered and determined. Altogether 389 European specimens were evaluated. The largest part is from the 19th century and attributed to the former director C.E.A. Gerstaecker. Localities in Germany are in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Bran- denburg, Bavaria and Thuringia. Further specimens were collected in Poland, Italy, Austria, and Switzerland. Current specimens were collected during a study in 1996 and 1997 in Greifswald. Concerning Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Bavaria, Berlin, Brandenburg, and Thuringia some blank Plane survey sheets of distribution were completed. Of seven species the earliest known collected specimens from Brandenburg are held in the collec- tion. The historical collection of Emil von Bernuth is mentioned but the specimens lack locality data, thus they are not evaluable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
