This species of conspicuous pattern might have had a big gradation (a peak in the num­ber of individuals of the populations) at the end of the eighties. In the same period it was collected in four sites, altogether 12 males and 7 females. Altough its pattern and the main structure of male genitalia are similar to Limnephilus lunatus Curt., the distinction of these species cannot cause difficulties. Botosaneanu and Malicky (1978) recorded it from several regions of Europe, its dist­ribution is sporadic. In recent time it was published among others from Scandinavia (e. g. Andersen 1975, Andersen et aL 1990, Andersen and Wiberg-Larsen 1987, Gullefors 1988, Nybom 1963, Solem 1985 etc.), from Germany (Eidel and Tobias 1983), from Bel­gium (Strcot 1984), from Austria (Malicky 1989), from Czechoslovakia (Obr 1969, Novak and Obr 1977). In Germany its populations are endangered (Tobias and Tobias 1984). We can suppose that the Hungarian populations are very endangered. As all localities are in the county Somogy, in afforested area, its biotopes may be small forest marshes. Around Darány we collected specimens on the same kind of biotopes as in Somogyszob, Kanizsaberek, where there are also some forest marshes. These biotopes have suffered a loss in the past years because of the drier weather. Ecclisopteryx dalecarlica Kolenati, 1848. - Szilvásvárad, Szalajka Valley (Bükk Mo­untains), June 20, 1980 1 â (light trap). In the collection of Mátra Museum, Gyöngyös. Figs. 5-7. This caddisfry was found in the course of the revision of the Trichoptera collection of the Mátra museum, Gyöngyös. Although this light trap material has been determined and published by Kiss (1983), Ecclisopteryx dalecarlica seems to have escaped his attention. This species is very frequent in Slovakia, its Hungarian occurrence has already been prog­nosticated. In Slovakia it lives along small mountainous streams. The Szalajka Stream of the Bükk Mts. running in one of the coolest and shady valleys of the Northern Mountains offers good conditions for this species. Annitella obscurata McLachlan, 1876. - Szögliget, Ménes Valley, Oct. 22, 1989 1 6 (leg. V. G. Papp); Jósvafő, Oct. 20,1990 1 6 (light trap). Both localities are in North Hun­gary, in the Aggtelek National Park. The specimens are deposited in the collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest and in the Janus Pannonius Museum, Pécs. Figs. 13-15. In Slovakia it is a very widespread species and it is common along almost all rivers and streams (Novak and Obr 1977, Nógrádi and Uherkovich 1987). A. obscurata was collec­ted along the polluted reach of river Sajó, too. These latter sites are 10-15 km away from the new Hungarian localities. It is amasing that this species has not yet been found earlier. We can suppose that it lives in other parts of the Northern Mountains, too. Paroecetis strucki Klapálek, 1903. Veresegyháza, June 6, 1949 2 66 (teg- p- Reme­tey). In the collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest. Fisg. 16-18. It is a very rare species occurring on the German-Polish Plain, in the Baltic States, in the Russian Plain and in Bohemia. In the past decades P. strucki was not reported from new sites. Tobias and Tobias (1984) put it on a list of extinct species (in Germany). As only two Hungarian specimens were collected more than forty years ago, we may suppose that this species has become extinct in Hungary, too.
