the trees above. A peaceful watch could easily detect them slowly climbing up on the stem of some plants in the underwood. The days passed quickly and finally we were left up with a good selection of sawflies, the list of which might perhaps attract the attention of the specialists. The third two-week collecting tour (17-30 of July, 1998) was completed by a land­rover-type of car, since we had bad experiences in 1996-1997 regarding access to good collecting localities. Mr. Jenő Pelbárt and his son provided the vehicle to Sub-Carpathia, who were particularly interested in Mollusca. This time again we visited the headquar­ters of the Biosphere Reserve at Rakhiv and thereafter spent seven days at the tourist house in the side of the Hoverla mountain. The second half of our stay was devoted to see the nature reserve around Uglya under the administration of the Tyachiv (Técső) district. We were rather unfortunate, since we spent four days here having very little success for the torrential rains came down day after day. Sawflies were hiding away and when for a short spell the sun came out only the most common species were captured. But in the heart of the forest the first author was lucky to find on the 28th of July stocks of Athyrium filix-femina (Linneaus) Roth, or perhaps those of Athyrium alpestre (Hoppe) Rylands (det. dr. Dezső Kováts) in the stem of which Blasticotoma filiceti Klug larvae were developing. It was the characteristic white froth, accumulating at the respiration or emergence hole, that attracted the attention. The subsequent list of species partly comprises materials that have not been published before and were collected by the second author in the last three-four decades. The other part was collected mostly by the first author and some stray specimens by our compan­ions from Kiev (A. Gumovsky and V. Fursov) during the visits referred to above. We thought wise to make reference to species forming galls and making mines when the iden­tification was unambiguous, in spite of the fact that no adult specimens had been secured. In Sub-Carpathia most of the locality names have a Ruthenian and a Hungarian vari­ety owing to the mixed population of this region. Here are some names to show corre­spondences in a sequence as they appear in the subsequent list. Maramaros ­Máramaros, Rakhiv - Rahó, Lazescsina - Mezőhát, Luhi - Laposmező, Bogdan ­Tiszabogdány, Laz - Alsóláz, Yasinya - Kőrösmező, KosztÜevka - Berlebán (Barnabás), Csorna Tisza - Fekete-Tisza (river), Vinogradov - Nagyszőllős, Csorna Hora - Fekete­hegy, Kuzij - Lonka, Uzsgorod - Ungvár, Veliki Bicskiv - Nagybocskó, Mukacheve ­Munkács, Dilove - Trebusafejérpatak (Terebesfejérpatak), Kosivska Polyana ­Kászópolyána, Muzhievo - Nagymuzsaj. The names are given as they appear on the locality labels.
