102 Natura Somogyiensis Hungary. These reports were completed with a key for Sceliphron, Chalibion and Isodontia species (Vas and Józan 2014). Zoltán finished the Kecskemét Calvinist High- School and graduated at Lóránd Eötvös University of Sciences, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Section of Biology. After his graduation Zoltán was collection manager of the collection of birds and also of collection of mammals of the Hungarian Natural History Museum. From 2012, he is curator of the Hymenoptera collection and started to study Ichneumonidae. The title of his PhD dissertation: "Host-parasite relationship of birds (Aves) and lice (Phthiraptera) - evolution, ecology and faunistics" submitted in 2013, Faculty of Veterinary Sciences Szent István (King St. Stephen) University Budapest. History of the Aculeata research in the Polish part of the Carpathian Basin from 1918 Miroslawa Dylewska (27th September 1927 Skarzysko-Kamienna - 18th June 2007 Kielce), specialist in Apoidea. She worked at Institute of Animal Systematics and Evolution of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Cracow. She is author of 80 scientific papers on fields of zoology, animal psychology, faunistics, taxonomy and phylogeny. In 66 of her papers, she discusses the Apoidea fauna of Polish Carpathians partly or entire­ly. In 1993, she founded the Section of Hymenopterology of Polish Society of Entomology, which she chaired until her death. Professor Dylewska was co-organizer of 14 annual symposia on hymenopterology held in Ojców. She was in charge of bumble­bee monitoring carried out in several national parks. Her collection is deposited at the Institute of Animal Systematics and Evolution of Polish Academy of Sciences in Cracow. She habilitated at the Jagellonian University of Cracow where she held professor sta­tus. Dylewska completed a key and 3 monographs for the Andrena species of Poland and Central Europe providing distribution data of the species in Europe (Dylewska 1987a, b, 2000). In her bibliography, Bumblebees (Bombus spp. and Psithyrus spp.j takes cen­tral part. In 18 of his papers, she discusses the importance of these groups in nature conservation, detailing their population dynamics and density, endangering factors and distribution in the Polish Tatra, in Ojców National Park in Babia Gora National Park and she provided suggestions and solutions for their active protection (Dylewska 1957a, b, 1958, 1991a, 1996a, 1997, 1998, 2002, Dylewska, Bilinskj and Ruszkowski 1996, Dylewska, Bilinski, and Zlaga 1997, 1998, 2000, Dylewska et al. 1998, Dylewska and Gasienica-Chmiel 2000, Dylewska M., Zlaga and Gasienica-Byrcyn 2001, 2002, Dylewska and Wisniowskj 2001). Important field of her research is the alfalfa pollination (Dylewska et al. 1970, Dylewska 1970, 1973, 1974b, Sowa et al. 1979). She had 2 papers on Vespoidea faunistics either (Eck and Dylewska 1998, Dylewska and Wisniowsky 1998). With Waldemar Celary, she provided complete ecological analysis of different Hymenoptera groups (including Aculeata) for the Pienin Mountains and completed the monograph of Polish Colletidae (Celary and Dylewska 1988, Dylewska and Celary 2000). In 1962 and 1963, with co-authorship of Jan Noskiewicz, she published the Apoidea fauna of Pieniny National Park providing zoogeographical and ecological analysis of the species and regions and phenological observations on the captured species (Dylewska 1962, Dylewska and Noskiewicz 1963). In 1966, she published the Apoidea fauna of Babia Gora Mountains, the fauna was analyzed in details, similarly as they did with the Apoidea fauna of the Pieniny National Park. In her
