Abstract
Ecological conditions in Slovenia are very complex and heterogeneous due to the influence and interaction among the various climatic, tectonic, edaphic, orographic, lithologic - transitional (ecotonic) regions. Slovenia is a meeting-point of the Alps, the Mediterranean, the Dinaric Mountain Region and the Pannonian Lowland. This complexity of ecological factors has created a wide variety of habitats and accounts for the high degree of biodiversity of flora and fauna. As a result of the work of Slovenian entomologists, we now have a preliminary catalogue of species from the family Scolytidae. At last count (Grune 1979) there were 154 species in the Scolytidae family in Europe.
