Fazekas, I. & Schreurs, A.: Data to the knowledge of micro-moths 197 Fig. 5: Known distribution of Stenoptilia zophodactyla in Hungary (a), with forewing pattern of adult (b) Fót, but available data are very limited. Known from the warmer zone in the Flungarian region. According to Fazekas (2006) “Eriökes Taxon. In Ungarn es in feucten Wiesen, in Sumpfgebieten, entlagen der Flügellandschaftsflüsse, am Rande von Eichenwald- Lichtungen, in Felsenrasen-Steppen und Sodaboden-gebieten vor.” In Hungary the species occurs altitude from 90 m to 350 m. The moth flies in Hungary from April to October in two generations. Polyphagous, recorded foodplants are in the following families: Asteraceae, Gentianaceae, Orobanchaceae and Plantaginaceae (Ma tthews & Lott 2005). In Hungary, the larva has been recorded on Centaurium erytraea Rafn., C. littorale Roth, and Brachypodium spp.. The moth is known from Palaearctic, South Africa, DR Congo, as well as from the Nearctic and Neotropical regions and Australia. EPERMENIIDAE Epermenia falciformis (Haworth, 1828) - Examined material: Dombóvár, Gunaras, 1$, 10.06.2003, gen. prep. Schreurs, A. No.1071; 1$, 11.06.2003, gen. prep. Schreurs, A. No. 1078. In coll. A. Schreurs. UTM: BS84; N 46°24’03”, E 18°10’24”. This is the first record from Hungary. The species was collected again in 2003 in Gunaras, near Dombóvár (SW Hungary). The wingspan is 9-14 mm. Epermenia falciformis is treated as a species separate from E. illigerella, with which it has previously been synonymised. According to literature, the larvae feed on Angelica sylvestris and also Aegopodium podagraria, but this record probably refers to E. illigerella. Bred specimens should be re-examined. The adult moths are on the wing in two generations, from May to July and again in August and September. Larvae of the second generation live in the umbels of the same plants. Pupation takes place in an open network cocoon amongst detritus on the ground (see http://www.ask.com/wiki/Epermenia_falciformis). Distribution in Palaearctic: The species was re-established as valid by Scholz (1996), having been previously regarded as a synonym of E. illigerella. Since this time recorded
