Torma A. - Rédei D.: Additions and corrections to the checklist of true bugs of Hungary (Hemiptera: Heteroptera)

54 Natura Somogyiensis Results and Discussion Three species are added to the checklist of the Heteroptera of Hungary; another two species, reported on the basis of misidentified specimens, are deleted from the checklist of Hungary in this paper. Two additional species, erroneously omitted from the check­lists of Kondorosy (1999, 2005), are discussed as well. Tingidae Galeatus spinifrons (Falién, 1807) Specimen examined: Pesthidegkút: Kálvária-hegy, 10. VII. 1976, leg. F. Németh (1 macropterous ?). Old records of this species refer to G. affinis (Herrich-Schäffer, 1835). The species was first recorded from Hungary by Péricart (1983). Since the specimen studied by Péricart (Kecskemét, 14. VII. 1889) could not be found in the HNHM, the species was not included in the checklist of the Hungarian Heteroptera by Kondorosy (1999, 2005) (E. Kondorosy, pers. comm.). The above specimen proves the occurrence of the species in Hungary. Tingis (Tropidocheila) ragusana (Fieber, 1861) Specimens examined: Jósvafő, 17. VI. 1980, leg. Á. Soós (1 $); Tomai-karszt, 18. VI. 1980, leg. Á. Soós (1 d); Aggtelek, 19. V. 1981, leg. A. Orosz (1 <?)• The species was first reported to occur in Hungary by Földessy et al. (1999) (Aggtelek National Park, Baradla-völgy), and it was erroneously omitted from the Hungarian checklist (Kondorosy 1999, 2005). Anthocoridae Xylocoris (Stictosynechid) lativentris (J. Sahlberg, 1870) Specimen examined: Szeged-Tápé, Vesszős, floodplain area of the River Tisza, mixed oak-poplar forest (E74°17’89”, N10°55’51”), 2-18. IX. 2007, pitfall trap, leg. A. Torma (1 ?). This species is known from the eastern and northern part of Europe (Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Romania, Ukraine, Sweden, Finland) and from Middle Asia (Kazakhstan, Mongolia, etc.) (Péricart 2001). It is new to the fauna of Hungary. Lygaeidae Orsillus maculatus (Fieber, 1861) Specimen examined: Szeged, Becsei street, collected on the wall of a block of flats, 28. VI. 2011, leg. A. Torma (1 ?)• The species feeds on conifers and is a vector of a widespread disease caused by the fungus Seiridium cardinale (e.g. Rouault et al., 2006). A Holomediterranean species of which nearest occurrence is known from Croatia; its distribution and biology was dis­cussed in detail by Rouault et al. (2005). It is new to the fauna of Hungary. Cydnidae Ochetostethus balcanicus (Wagner, 1940) Specimens examined: Magyarcsanád, 15. VII. 2010, leg. M. Bozsó (1 $, 2 Another species of the genus, O. opacus (Scholtz, 1847) is widely distributed in Hungarian sand grasslands, and has similar habitat preference as O. balcanicus (Kis 1984). Reliable identification of the two species is only possible based on the male genitalia (Magnien 2006), therefore part of the earlier records of O. opacus from Hungary might represent O. balcanicus. Further specimens of O. balcanicus were col­lected in Nagypél (Pilu, Romania) near to the Hungarian border (13. VII. 2010, leg. M. Bozsó (1 <$, 3 99)) so it presumably occurs in the nearby meadows in Hungary, too. It is new to the fauna of Hungary.
