Fazekas, I. & Schreurs, A.: Data to the knowledge of micro-moths 195 Fig. 4: Blastobasis huemeri: a) adult, b) forewing pattern, c) male genitalia from Bohemia, d) male genitalia from Dombóvár-Gunaras In Hungary, populations of B. huemeri occupy mostly xerothermic and sun-exposed habitats in hilly regions, where it is often very rare. Present knowledge suggests that B. huemeri occurs only on the European continent: Austria, Chechia, Croatia, France, Germany (sand region), Hungary, Italian mainland, Slovenia and Slovakia (Lepiforum e. V. 2012; Lesar & GovediC 2010; Perreette & Spill 2008; Sinev 2012). Recent investigation has indicated a northerly extension of its range from southern Europe into central Europe. The developmental stages, host plants and bionomics of B. huemeri are apparently unknown. A German website (Lepiforum e. V. 2012) gave illustrations of the larva and pupa. Moths have been collected from May to August (limited data available). Probably univoltine. According to Gábor Pastorális (pers. comm.), the female wingspan is rather variable. Adults strongly attracted to light. Remarks: Further study is needed to clarify the localities of the populations of B. hue­meri in Hungary. Similar species: Blastobasis phycidella (Zeller, 1847) and B. rosci- della (Zeller, 1847). Position of Hungarian range within this species group of blasto- basids is uncertain. ELACHISTIDAE Elechista serricornis Stainton, 1854 - Material examined: Dombóvár, Gunaras, 1$, 28.07.2010, leg. et gen. prep. Schreurs, No. 1062. Identification confirmed by J. Liska (CZ-Praha), L. Kaila (FI-Helsinki). Occurrence of Elechista serricornis is documented by a single specimen from the Kaposvár in southwest Hungary, collected in 1923 (Szőcs 1973): “63. E. serricornis Stt.: Kaposvár 1923.VII.2. PAZSICKY“. From the first Hungarian locality (Kaposvár) to the east, approximately 31 km, the species was found
