Published online at www.arthropod-systematics.de on 21.vii.2011. > Abstract The tribe Leptodirini of the beetle family Leiodidae is one of the most diverse radiations of cave animals, with a distribution centred north of the Mediterranean basin from the Iberian Peninsula to Iran. Six genera outside this core area, most notably Platycholeus Horn, 1880 in the western United States and others in East Asia, have been assumed to be related to Lepto- dirini.

Cobitis ohridana and Barbatula zetensis in the River Moraèa basin, Montenegro: distribution, habitat, population structure and conservation needs. Folia biol. (Kraków) 51(Suppl.): 147-153. In this paper, we report on the distribution, habitat, population structure and conservation needs of Cobitis ohridana and Barbatula zetensis in the basin of the River Moraèa in Montenegro. Our data show both species to be mainly distributed in the lower stretch of the main river and some tributaries in lowland habitats. Cobitis ohridana preferred more shallow water with a higher abundance of filamentous algae, while Barbatula zetensis was more numerous in slightly deeper water with more stones as a bottom substrate. Slight differences in the habitat preference were also observed between juveniles and adults in both species. Although both species are abundant in suited habitat, they have a small distribution area in the Moraèa basin due to the natural rarity of the habitat. According to our data, they are not endangered. Key words: Balitoridae, Cobitidae, Mediterranean, conservation, habitat preferences, outecology.

E-mails: [email protected]; [email protected] SYNOPSIS Key words: In Krnovo area we recorded 3 species of amphibians (Mesotriton species list, alpestris, Bombina variegata, Bufo bufo) and 9 species of reptiles amphibians, (Lacerta agilis, Lacerta viridis, Podarcis muralis, Dinarolacerta reptiles, mosorensis, Natrix natrix, Natrix tessellata, Coronella austriaca, Krnovo, Zamenis longissimus, Vipera ammodytes) in 8 localities. Montenegro. SINOPSIS Ključne riječi: HERPETOFAUNA KRNOVA (CRNA GORA) spisak vrsta, Na području Krnova registrovali smo 3 vrste vodozemaca vodozemci, (Mesotriton alpestris, Bombina variegata, Bufo bufo) i 9 vrsta gmizavci, gmizavaca (Lacerta agilis, Lacerta viridis, Podarcis muralis, Krnovo, Dinarolacerta mosorensis, Natrix natrix, Natrix tessellata, Coronella Crna Gora. austriaca, Zamenis longissimus, Vipera ammodytes) na 8 lokaliteta. INTRODUCTION Previous herpetological studies in Montenegro included only few areas, mostly National Parks (DŽUKIĆ, 1991; CRNOBRNJA-ISAILOVIĆ & DŽUKIĆ, 1995; TOMOVIĆ et al., 2004; POLOVIĆ & LJUBISAVLJEVIĆ, 2010). Detailed amphibian and reptile species lists are generally missing. The most detailed available lists of herpetofauna for the northern part of Montenegro are species list of the Massif of Durmitor and Tara River Canyon (DŽUKIĆ, 1991) and species list of Bjelasica Mountain (TOMOVIĆ et al., 2004). Krnovo is situated in North-Western Montenegro, on a plateau between the Vojnik and Lola mountains. The altitude of this plateau varies from 1300 m to 1850 m a.s.l. Krnovo area is characterized by mesophilic meadows and pastures, cultivated fields, bordered by beech forest and boscage, and sporadically parted by communities of rocky pastures.
