it in square brackets, indicating that the occurrence of the species in Hungary is expected. It is a new species for Hungary. Miarus simplex SOLARI, 1947 - Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county: Pálháza [in fact, Háromhuta]: Istvánkút, 6-11.VI.1955, leg. Z. KASZAB & V. SZÉKESSY (1 specimen, HNHM); Regéc, Gyertyán-kút, 17.VI.1995, leg. G. HEGYESSY (1 specimen, KFM); Somogy county: Siófok, F. LlCHTNECKERT (1 specimen, HNHM); Veszprém county: Tihany, 25.V.1940, leg. V. SZÉKESSY (1 specimen, HNHM); Tihany, 4.VI.1939, leg. JACZÓ (1 specimen, HNHM); Tihany: Apáti-tető, talajcsapda [= pitfall trap], 18-26.V.2000, leg. GY. SZÉL (1 specimen, HNHM); Öskü, 1-5.VI.1951, leg. V. SZÉKESSY (1 specimen, HNHM). Identified by A. PODLUSSÁNY. - The species is known to occur in Spain, France, Italy, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey (European part) and Georgia (CALDARA 2007). It is a new species for Hungary; this country is the northernmost part of its distribution. URODONTIDAE Bruchela conformis (SUFFRIAN, 1845) - Veszprém county: between Veszprém and Hajmáskér, 11.VI.2005, leg. J. KRÁTKY (7 males, 8 females, CJK and HNHM). Identified byj. KRÁTKY. - The specimens were collected in a military area, in steppic grassland on limestone, from flowers and leaves of Reseda luteola L. PODLUSSÁNY (1996) included this species in his list, based on KASZAB (1967). GYÖRGY (2006) deleted it from the checklist of Hungarian Anthribidae and Urodontidae, because all Hungarian specimens proved to be misidentified Bruchela schusteri (SCHILSKY, 1912). However, the material collected recently in Veszprém county represents Bruchela conformis without any doubt, thus these are really the first specimens of this species from Hungary. B. conformis is monophagous on Reseda luteola, while B. schusteri lives on Erysimum durum. The body of B. conformis is larger, the elytra have hairs, not scales, and the aedeagus is regularly tapering toward apex. B. schusteri is smaller, its elytra have scales, and the aedeagus is abruptly narrowing well before the apex.
