Zur systemischen Stellung des Balkanluchses, Lynx lynx (Linné, 1758).

Saeugetierkundliche Mitteilungen 22: 239-244.

Describes the morphology of the lynx species in the Balkans and tries to establish its taxonomy.The author states that the systematic position of the lynx populations at the Balkan Peninsula is not clear. It is treated by one group of authors as a member of the Iberian species Lynx pardina (Temminck, 1824) and by another as a member of the European species L. lynx (Linné, 1758). Comparing the measurements of the adult skulls of 2 males and 3 females of the lynx at the Balkan Peninsula with the measurements of the skulls of L. pardina and L. lynx, the author concludes that the lynx population at the Balkan Peninsula is to treat as a member of the species L. lynx specially of the European subspecies Lynx lynx lynx (Linné, 1758).
