Abstract
The area of distribution of a species is the result of range expansions and regressions in the past. If the fauna of a region is reasonably well known (e.g., in Europe), certain patterns of distribution are easily recognised. New findings may readily be placed, but sometimes unexpected patterns may appear which are difficult to explain. Several examples are given.
