Péterhalmi-erdő [Péterhalmi forest], avarról, 24.XII.1994, 1 male, (leg. L. Papp); Fót, Somlyó-h.: 28.X. 1960, 1 male, (leg. L. Papp). - New to Hungary. Noteworthy is the record from April (Makkoshotyka); till now adults of this species were recorded only from October and November (Stary 2000). By the shape of male genitalia this species stays between 77. (S.) rufulenta Edwards and 77. (S.) implicate Dahl. The shape of its bridge resembles that in the former, while the medial excision of the sternite IX is like in the latter species (Stary 2000). Another valuable discriminating character of 77. (S.) recondita is its gently curved gonostyles, which discern this species from 77. (S.) rufulenta with remarkably straight, rod like gonostyles. All three species occur in Hungary, and happen to fall in the same sample (Sitke!). Trichocera (Saltrichocera) rufulenta Edwards, 1938 - Kőszeg: Stájerházak, 550 m, 6.XI. 1996, 1 female, (leg. L. Papp); Hármas-patak, parti növényzet, 6.XI.1996, 1 femal, (leg. L. Papp); Sitke n. Sárvár, park n. castle, 10.XI. 1999, 20 males, (leg. WK). Trichocera (Saltrichocera) sparsa Stary, 1996 - Kőszeg: Hármas-patak, parti növényzet 6.XI. 1996, 1 female, (leg. L. Papp). - New to Hungary. In contrast to original description (Stary 1996), pleura of this specimen are devoid of bristles. Bare pleura were also observed in some specimens of T. (5.) sparsa in Poland. Subgenus Trichocera (Trichocera) Meigen, 1803 Trichocera (Trichocera) hiemalis (DeGeer, 1776) - Sitke n. Sárvár, park n. castle, 10.XI. 1999, 1 male, (leg. WK); Szigetköz: Ásványráró, fénycsapda, 30-8.X. 1989, 1 female, (leg. L. Papp); Bükk-hg.: Tardi-patak völgye, 26.III.1959, 1 female, (leg. L. Papp); Gerecse hg.: Hosszúvontató, 4-7.IV. 1963, 98 males, (leg. Horvatovich). Remarks - This species shows a wide range in body color as well as pruinosity in Hungary. Specimens from Debrecen (listed in Krzeminska & Papp 2001) are light brown; these from Fenyőfő are light brown to black (!) and the latter bear a dark spot at cross-vein r-m. A large sample of males from Gerecse hg. are uniformly brownish black to black, but their pruinosity ranges from heavy to non existent (pleura are shining). In ca. 70% of specimens from this sample the ml cell is not longer than d cell; in ca. 20% even shorter (Fig. 12). To my knowledge, such a short ml occurs only in this species, although not frequently. When present, it allows prompt determination without necessity of preparing the genitalia (however, presence of large first flagellomere should be confirmed). Trichocera (Trichocera) major Edwards, 1921 -Osli: Osli-erdő, 5.XI.1996, 1 male, (leg. L. Papp). - Males from Hungary (the majority was listed in a previous paper) have the gonostyles of type 3 as defined in Krzeminska (200lb) and represent the cline recorded in Poland and Germany. CONCLUSIONS Body color was considered an important diagnostic feature in many trichocerid species. The records above indicate that color is remarkably variable at least in 7". (S.) pappi, 77. (S.) montium and 77. (77.) hiemalis. Previously a similarly wide range in color was stated also in 77. (S.) regelationis (Krzeminska 2000).
