viduals live under stones and do not leave their habitat during the periods of flooding. Only individual collecting is advisable. Empicoris uniannulatus (SIGNORÉT, 1852) - Hungary, Csongrád county: Sándorfalva, in a protected oak forest, 05. VIII. 1993, leg. KOVÁCS; 2 Ç$, 1 S- New to the fauna of Hungary. Individuals of the species of the genus Empicoris WOLFF, 1811 hide at considerable heights of shrubs and trees but several of them can also be found near human habitations (WYGODZINSKY 1966). According to the recent revision by PUTSHKOV et al. (1999), there are 16 species occurring in Europe. In the checklist of the Hungarian bug fauna (KONDOROSY 1999) five of them are included. A sixth species, Empicoris tabellarius RlBES & PUTSHKOV, 1992 was collected recently and its occurrence in Hungary is very curious (RÉDEI 2004). It may suggest that our knowledge on the distribution of a number of species is far from satisfactory. However, the occurrence of E. uniannulatus in Hungary is not unexpected since it has been found in some of the neighbouring countries. It is known from France, Romania, the Ukraine and the European part of Russia. Empicoris gracilentus (JAKOVLEV, 1907) - Hungary, Csongrád county: Szegvár, in a wet meadow (Carici-Alopecuretum pratensis), 25. IX. 1992, leg. KOVÁCS. Unfortunately the single collected specimen is damaged, the abdomen is broken, so its sex is unknown. Before the present occurrence, only one female specimen of this reduviid bug was found in Hungary (PUTSHKOV 1987). This species is known from Hungary, the Ukraine, Russia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenia and Uzbekistan. Aoploscelis bivirgata (COSTA, 1853) (Fig. 1) - Hungary, Csongrád county: Szegvár, in a dry meadow (Achilleo-Festucetumpseudovinae), 25. VI. 1993, leg. KOVÁCS; 3 SS- New to the fauna of Hungary. The lygaeid genus Aoploscelis FIEBER, 1860 contains only two species in the Palaearctic Region. A. bivirgata is a Ponto-Mediterranean species living in sandy areas. Nearest to Hungary, it is known from Serbia. REFERENCES KERZHNER, I. M. (1995): Infraorder Dipsocoromorpha. - In: AUKEMA, B. & RlEGER, CH. (eds): Catalogue of the Heteroptera of Palearctic Region, 1.
