METHODS, MATERIAL The collection of Hungarian Natural History Museum consists of two main parts: the original Remetey collection and the light trap material collected at the end of the fifties and in the sixties. These are completed by few materials of the fifties-seventies collected by some Hungarian entomologists. All locality data were published without date and number of specimens (NÓGRÁDI 1989a). The collection of Mátra Museum (Gyöngyös) hardly contains caddisflies from the Great Hungarian Plain (NÓGRÁDI 1989c). Újhelyi'

s collection has arrived to the HNHM in the year 1989. It contains several caddisflies from the Plain. The literature gives only very few data С SÁTORI 1935, ÚJHELYI 1971, 1982). Our field activity was moderate in the beginning. We collected few times around Szeged, sometimes on other sites of the Plain, too. Later we could organize lighttrapping. Light traps were erected at Jászárokszállás (1987-1988), Mezőtúr (1988), Hercegszántó-Karapancsa (1989), Sarkad-Malomfok (1989-1990) and 44
