The Regio kuusamoensis is a region in north-central Finland, bordered on the east by Rus- 
sia (biogeographical provinces of Lapponia Imandrae, Lapponia tulomensis, Karelia keretina, 
and Karelia pomorica occidentalis), on the west by Lapponia kemensis and Ostrobottnia 
borealis, on the south by Ostrobottnia kajanensis. It extends from about 65° 10/ to 67° 40’ N. 
Lat. and about 27° 25’ to 30° 10’ E. Long. (extreme limits); part of its area, along the 
eastern border, was transferred to Russia in 1944. Its name, until recently Kuusamo in the 
older as well as the newer nomenclature, was changed to Regio kuusamoensis because the area, 
which formerly included only the parish of Kuusamo, was extended in 1927 to cover also 
Salla, north of Kuusamo.
