  Note that most of these names were subdivisions of Montes Carpatus and Montes Riphaeus. Two interesting photographs on page 164 of E. A. Whitaker's book (Figures 104, A and B) show J. N. Krieger's map of the Riphaeus region, with all the named subdivisions in it.

  • Banat (at Montes Carpatus)
  • Banat Kap (at Montes Carpatus)
  • Banat Sinus (at Montes Carpatus, near Kap Banat)
