266 NATURA SOMOGYIENSIS Distribution in Palaearctic: Up to the present it has been recorded from the following countries and regions; Asia Minor, Crete, Balkans (uncertain Albania, Bulgaria, Romania), Ukraine, Hungary, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Sardinia, Sicily, France, Corsica, Spain, north Africa (GIELIS 2003; www.faunaeur.org [visited 03.05.2010]) and Iran (ZAGULAJEV 1986). Remarks: The ecology of the A. palodactyla has not been investigated yet in Hungary. There is only one reliable record from Hungary, in September 2009 when P. Davey caught a specimen near Nyirád. The voucher specimen is in the collection of P. Davey in England. This part of West Hungary belongs to the Pannonian biogeographical region so the occurrence of this species there was not a very great surprise and further findings in the area are to be expected. At present, this is the most westward known point of its distribution in Carpathian Basin. Its proposed Hungarian name is szicíliai soktollúmoly. Alucita desmodactyla Zeller, 1847 (Fig. 8, 10. e) Biology: Adults fly from the end July till early December, hibernates, and reappears in spring from March to June (
