Fazekas, I: Ancylolomia tentaculella (Hübner, 1796) in Hungary

187

Fig. 5. Known localities of Ancylolomia tentaculella (Hübner, 1796) in Hungary

to Balkan Peninsula. Recorded in SE-England (Goater 1986), though probably an immigrant from southern Europe on each occasion (1935 and 1952). Apart from this, well-known from West Asia to Ural Mountains.

Remarks'. In Hungary known only from Great Hungarian Plain but very local and rare; this species is very rarely recorded. Not known from Transdanubian Hills and mountain regions. The flight period of observation is deficient. Early stages unknown in Hungary. Further studies are necessary to verify the relationship between A. tentaculella and A. palpella.
