GYULAI PÉTER: A Bükk hegység macrolepidoptera faunájának ökológiai és állatföldrajzi vizsgálata III
OECOLOGICAL AND ZOOGEOGRAFHICAL RESEARCH OP HA CROLEPIDOPTERA FAUNA IN BÜKK-MOUNTAIN III. Abstract The first two parts of the monography on the butterfly fauna of the Bükk mountains, that appeared in the XV. and XVI. volume of the Annales of the Herman Otto Museum, described 133 Diurna species. The present third part deals with 65 species of the Sphingidae, Notodontidae, Drepanidae, Cymatophoridae, living in the Bükk mountains. Two further species /Cerura bicuspis Bkh, and Cerura erminea Esp./ are likely to be found since their food plants are growing in the Bükk mountains and the ecological circumstances are also favou.rable. The description of the fauna follov/s the pattern, of the I. parti the name of the species is followed by a series of faunistic data gained in the Bükk with the help of the abbreviation system used in the I. part, to which night gathering places are added. A short characterisation /general and Hungarian range, ecology, way of life/ is attached in case of more important species. Then I give the list of the published and gathered food plants of all tho species. The presence of some Ponto-Mediterranian, xerothermic species /Marumba quercus Schiff., Phalera bucephaloides 0., Polyploca ruficollis P./ in the Bükk mountains is especially noteworthy,- this is the northernmost occurence of Ph. bucephaloides in the Carpathian Basin. The eastern European types, in the same time, loving cold and moisture, being dominant first of all north and west of the Bükk, and live in heath /"Heide"/, highmoor /"Hochmoor"/ and in the northern birches/Leucodonta bicoloria Schiff., Tethea fluctuosa Hb., Polyploca flavicornis L. , Pheosia gnoma P., Drepana lacertinaria L./ can be found in the large birches of the northern range of the Bükk-highland.
