Chrysoesthia verrucosa TOKÁR, 1999 (Gelechiidae) - A new record of the species to the Hungarian fauna, and should be inserted between Ch. eppelsheimi (STAUDINGER, 1885) and Ch. sexguttella (THUNBERG, 1794) in the Hungarian checklist (SZABÓKY et al. 2002). It is known to occur in Switzerland, Austria and Slovakia, mainly between 400 and 900 m above sea level (ELSNER et ai. 1999). Its larva and host plant are unknown. Data of the specimen in the collection of FERENC BUSCHMANN (Jászberény): Jászberény: Új-erdő, 21.V.2007, leg. F. BUSCHMANN. Its proposed Hungarian name: szemölcsös sarlósmoly. Eucosma tripoliana (BARRETT, 1880) (Tortricidae) (Fig. 2) - The species name was marked with asterisk in the Hungarian checklist (SZABÓK Y et al. 2002), that is, its oc­currence in Hungary requires confirmation. The species was found on the Naszály Hill. Its host plant is Aster amellus which is abundant on the southern slopes of the Naszály (BALÁZS PINTÉR, personal comminucation). Data of the specimens in the the author's col­lection: Vác, Naszály, Gombási agyagbánya [= clay pit], 19.VIII.2007 (3 specimens), 21.VIII. 2007 (9 specimens) and Sejcei kőbánya [= limestone quarry], 12.VIII. 2007, leg. Cs. SZABÓKY. Its Hungarian name: sziki tükrösmoly. Hypoepafractalis GUENÉE, 1854 (Noctuidae) (Fig. 3) - A new record of the species to the Hungarian fauna, and probably the first record in Europe. The specimens were found in a glasshouse, and pupal skins were found at the base of Tillandsia bromeliads imported from the Nethetlands. Identification was made from ESAKI et al. (1975). It is widely dis­tributed from India to Japan, and is known to occur in Africa as well. Its larva feeds on withering leaves in the tropical and subtropical regions. The adults are on the wing from May to October. Data of the specimens in the the author's collection: Érd, 12.X.2007, leg. Á. SzÉNÁSI (2 specimens), 22.X.2007 (leg. Cs. SZABÓKY & Á.
