European accumulation zones of marginal subspecies of species showing the continental distribution type (shaded areas). Most of these areas were later discovered as being important as extra-Mediterranean centres of glacial survival of thermophilic species. The southern limits of some of these zones coincide with the line of packing of the "Siberian" faunal type in Europe (sensu de Lattin [4]; dotted line). The representation of "Siberian" species in the local faunal lists is given as broken lines with indication of their respective percentages. Redrawn after de Lattin [4] and Varga [39].
