FOLIA ENTOMOLOGICA HUNGARICA ROVARTANI KÖZLEMÉNYEK XLVI. 1 1985 p. 129-135 Further caddisfly species new to the Hungarian fauna (Trichoptera) By S. NÓGRÁDI-U. (Received October 20, 1984) Abstract: Nine species new to the Hungarian fauna are Orthotrichia tragetti Mosely, Oxyethira flavicornis Pictet, Hydroptila lotensis Mosely, Hydroptila simulans Mosely, Hydroptila tineoides Dalman, Hydropsyche guttata Pictet. Micrasema setiferum Pictet, Oecetis testacea Curtis and Setodes viridis Fourcroy. New data of 5 species found in recent years are presented. With 35 figures. A year ago 6 caddisfly species new to the Hungarian fauna were presented (NÓGRÁDI 1984). After closing the manuscript of that paper a further, very large material was elaborated mostly from West and South Transdanubia. This material included several thousand specimens of caddisflies: about 4000 specimens from the Bares Juniper Woodland (S. Hungary), 6500 from Magyanszombatfa (W. Hungary), 3000 from Szederkény (S. Hungary) and more than 4000 specimens from other points of South Transdanubia including the Mecsek Mountains. Five of the six species published by NÓGRÁDI (1984) were found again in this material.

Synagapetus krawanyi Ulmer was collected in the Mecsek Mts., Kisujbánya again, and at a new locality, nearby Obánya. Further Agapetus delicatulus McLachlan specimens were found in the light trap material of Magyarszombatfa. A fair series of Potamophylax luctuosus Piller et. Mitt, was collected at Szôce, and a single specimen at its new locality, nearby Obánya. Crunoecia kempnyi Morton was swept in Szoce, too. As it turned aut eventually, Chaetopteryx schmidi Botosaneanu from the Mecsek Mountains belongs to a new subspecies. It was described as Chaetopteryx schmidi mecsekensis Nógrádi, 1984 (MALICKY et al., 1984). This is a typical late autumn-winter caddisfly: the imagos are active from the beginning of October to the beginning of January. They walk on snow, too, and can suffer 10-12 degrees below zero. Its new localities are: Pécs: Vasas, Hármasbükk Spring; Zengővárkony, Réka Valley, all in the Mecsek Mountains. In the course of the elaboration of the above material, 9 species were found which have not been known from Hungary before. Orthotrichia tragetti Mosely, 1930. - Bares, fish ponds, August 29, 1983 5 o. (leg.S.

NÓGRÁDI), Sept. 16, 1983 1 o. (leg. S. NÓGRÁDI), Juni 21 - Sept. 1, 1984 21 <5 , 282 o (leg. Á.UHERKOVICH and S. NÓGRÁDI); ' Szederkény, May 19-23, 1983 4 S, 2 g (light trap). In tubes in the collection of the Janus Pannonius Museum (Pécs) and the Hungarian Natural History Museum (Budapest). The distribution of this species is rather insufficiently known. It lives in standing water of all types but only on lowlands. We can support that it lives at several localities in our country.lt is probable that this species escapes the collectors' attention because of its minute dimensions (length of fore wing: 2.5-3.5 mm). It is very common in the fish ponds of the Bares Juniper Wood-
