New data to the Microlepidoptera fauna of Hungary, part IX (Lepidoptera: Elachistidae, Gracillariidae, Prodoxidae, Tortricidae) CS. SZABOKY H-1034 Budapest, Bécsi út 88, Hungary. E-mail: szabokycs@erti.hu Abstract - Six species of Microlepidoptera (Acleris aspersana HÜBNER, 1817, Caloptilia populetorum ZELLER, 1839, Elachista fasciola PARENTI, 1983, Elachista diederichsiella E. HERING, 1889, Elachista metella KAILA et JUNNILAINEN, 2002, Vespina slovaciella ZAGULAJEV et TOKÁR, 1990, Zeiraphera ratzeburgiana SAXESEN, 1840) are recorded as new to the fauna of Hungary. With two figures. Key words - Microlepidoptera, Hungary. It is well known that a newly set light trap attracts a fascinating array of interesting moths in the first year. At Kömörő in the Szatmár-Bereg plains, eastern Hungary, a light trap run by the ERTI (Erdészeti Tudományos Intézet = Forest Research Institute, Budapest) was not treated properly by the local forester, so after a wasted year it was relocated to another forester's house at Vámosatya in the same region. The light trap installed with a 125 W mercury-vapour bulb was placed between two old oak trees at the edge of Bockereki-erdő (forest). It is now being in care of the forester ZOLTÁN NAGY, producing the largest volume of insect material of all ERTI light traps. In 2004, when processing the Microlepidoptera material I struck upon four specimens (captured on 5th and 7th July) of a small, black species of Lampronia STEPHENS, 1829. Based on PARENTl's (2000) book I presumed it to be Lampronia aeripennella (REBEL, 1889). However, having compared it with specimens of Vespina slovaciella ZAGULAJEV et TOKÁR, 1990 deposited in my collection, doubts emerged about its identity. In 2005, the Slovakian expert of Microlepidoptera, ZDENKO TOKÁR confirmed that my suspicion was reasonable. Vespina slovaciella is a member of the family Prodoxidae. It should be inserted after the last Lampronia species in the Hungarian check list (SZABOKY et al. 2002: 18). The moth has a small, white, wedge-shaped spot at the tornus of the forewing
