tion. Other species actually do occur in Hungary, but the localities mentioned by KUTHY are outside the present borders of the country. In this paper an updated checklist of the 131 Hungarian species of the family Elateridae is presented. Sixteen species are recorded from the country for the first time, whereas 12 species considered to occurring within its boundaries by previous authors are now deleted from the Hungarian faunal list. Abbreviations of collections - FHK = coll. FERDINAND HOLLY, Kyselka, Czech Republic; HNHM = Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest, Hungary; UN = coll. IVO JENIS, Náklo, Czech Republik; JMHK = coll. JOSEF MERTLIK, Hradec Králové, Czech Republic; JPHK = coll. JAN PELIKÁN, Hradec Králové, Czech Republic; LSL = coll. LUKAS SEKERKA, Liberec, Czech Republic, NHMZ = Natural History Museum of Bakony Mountains, Zirc, Hungary (curator: CS AB A KUTASI). Notes on locality listings - Hungarian counties and the metropolitan area of Budapest are in bold type. Notes on the Hungarian labels have been translated, wherever pertinent. Doubtful records are indicated as such in brackets. NOTES ON SOME SPECIES OF CARDIOPHORUS The nomenclatorial tangle associated with the black-bodied and red-legged species of Cardiophorus ESCHSCHOLTZ, 1829, has resulted in a confusing usage of the various names. The species without a grey suturai band on the elytra is Cardiophorus erichsoni BUYSSON, 1901, but it was listed under C. vestigialis ERICHSON, 1840 in LAIBNER (2000). This species is quite common in Hungary. The species with a grey suturai band on the elytra formed by diagonally directed hairs is Cardiophorus vestigialis ERICHSON, 1840, but it was recorded as C. rufipes (GOEZE, 1777) and C. maritimus DOLIN, 1971, in LAIBNER (2000). This species is quite rare in Hungary. After checking the available original specimens on which literature records are based, some of the published data can be corrected as follows: Published name C. rufipes (GOEZE, 1777) C. rufipes (GOEZE, 1777) C. rufipes (GOEZE, 1777) C. rufipes (GOEZE, 1777) C. erichsoni BUYSSON, 1901 C. vestigialis ERICHSON, 1840 C. atramentarius ERICHSON, 1840 Reference MERKL (1991) ÁDÁM (1986) PILLICH (1914) KAUFMANN (1914b) ENDRŐDI (1983) MERKL & HORVATOVICH (2000) ÁDÁM (1986) Correct name C. vestigialis ERICHSON, 1840 C. erichsoni BUYSSON, 1901 C. erichsoni BUYSSON, 1901 C. erichsoni BUYSSON, 1901 C. vestigialis ERICHSON, 1840 C. erichsoni BUYSSON, 1901 C. discicollis (HERBST, 1806)
