74 Natura Somogyiensis In 1899, he became the first professor of entomology in Croatia at the Forestry Academy in Zagreb. When retired, he was the manager of the entomological sections of the Biological Center (later the Institute of Plant Protection). Anton Korlevic collected rich and valuable entomological collection that is stored in the Croatian Natural History Museum. Four species: Carabus korlevici Hoffman 1883, Tenthredopsis korlevici Konow 1887, Cynips korlevici Kieffer 1902 and Andricus korlevici Kieffer 1902 were named in his honour (Durbesic 2011). August Langhoffer (17th April 1861 Kiszács - 28th March 1940 Zagreb), director of the Zoological Museum and professor of zoology at the University of Zagreb, Diptera specialist. In most of his works on Hymenoptera, Langhoffer describes genera of Aculeata and creates evolutionary tree based on the mouthparts anatomy of various Apoidea groups (Langhoffer 1895, 1897, 1898). In his paper, titled "Kukci koji su dobili ime po Hrvatskoj”, Langhoffer provides few (only 3) indefinite faunistic records of wild bees for Croatia (Langhoffer 1916). August Langhoffer finished his primary and secondary school studies in Újvidék (now Novi Sad) and Eszék (now Osijek). He continued his university studies in Zagreb but finished it in Vienna. He doctorated at Jena University, the title of his thesis was: "Beiträge zur Kenntnis der Mundteile der Diptera". As secondary school professor, Langhoffer taught at high school in Rijeka, nautical high school in Bakar, and high schools in Senj, Osijek and Zagreb. In 1895, Langhoffer habilitated as assistant professor of entomology at Faculty of Philosophy of Zagreb University. In the same time, he was appointed to director of Department of Zoology of Croatian National Museum in Zagreb. When the newly established Zagreb School of Medicine opened, Langhoffer started to teach there biology and zoology. He was part time professor of entomology at the Academy of Forestry in Zagreb either. Franz Friedrich Kohl (13th January 1851 St. Valentin auf der Haide - 15th December 1924 Traismauer), see his biography in the Hungarian chapter titled: "Aculeata research from 1801 till 1920 in Hungary". In "Über neue Arten der Hymenopteren-Gattung Tachyphex Kohl" he descibed Tachysphex reiseri Kohl, 1901 from North Bosnia and Trypoxylon kolazyi Kohl, 1893 from North Slovenia. History of the Aculeata research in Hungary from 1920 In 1933, the Hungarian Natural History Museum separated from the Hungarian National Museum although it still worked under its supervision. The other important historic event was the establishment of the Hungarian Plant Protection Service (Magyar Növényvédelmi Szolgálat) and its countrywide network in 1932. Finally, in 1923, the name of the entomological journal: Rovartani Lapok changed to Folia entomologica hungarica and in 1938, the Fragmenta Faunistica Hungarica was founded. In the communist era, Hungary existed under the pressure of the Soviet occupation. In this time, the most important event was the establishment of the first Natural History Museum in the countryside, in Zirc in 1972 that named Bakony Természettudományi Múzeum (Bakony Museum of Natural History, named after the Bakony Mts., north to Lake Balaton). In 1952, they started the scientific journal titled Acta Zoologica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae that gave place taxonomic publications. From 1966, Acta Phytopathologica et Entomologica, the English language journal of applied
