52 Natura Somogyiensis Floodplain forests of River Dráva River Dráva originates in the Tyrolean Alps and reaches the territory of Hungary at Ortilos. The fast fall of the flow of the river brings with itself lot of sediments. Its fall is gradually decreasing on the Hungarian part, and its sediments are being deposited. The characteristic formations of the Dráva are the reef islands, which are constantly being built and destroyed, thus always changing their locations. The shore is accompanied by floodplain groves, where white willow, white poplar and black poplar are the canopylevel trees. Beyond the floodplain, the next stage of succession is the oak-ash-elm forest in the higher areas. From this region Zombori (1985) published a paper titled Data to the knowledge of Symphyta fauna of the Bares juniper woodland. Further faunistic data were published in Haris 2001b and Roller and Haris 2008. Material and methods During the 2020 collecting season, I spent 14 days with collecting in April, 9 days in May, 2 days in July and 1 day in August. The regular rainfall and the overcast weather conditions made the collecting very difficult in May. The applied method was net sweeping from the beginning till the first decade of May. After this, the capture of individuals was the dominant method combined with netsweeping of lower canopies and bushes. For identification, Zhelochovtsev’s work on the sawflies of the European part of the former USSR and the latest Slovakian monograph (Zhelochovtsev 1988, Macek et al., 2020) were consulted. We also used some recent revisions and works to make the identifications even more precise (Achterberg and Aartsen 1986, Haris 2006, Koch 1988, Prous et. al. 2014, Zombori 2016). For the discussion of the distribution of sawflies, we consulted the book of Roller and Haris titled Sawflies of the Carpathian Basin, History and Current Research (Roller & Haris 2008), the most recent European checklist of species (Taeger et al. 2006) augmented by other faunistic records from the Carpathian Basin (Mocsáry 1900, Roller 1993, 1994, 1996, 1998, 1999a, b, c, d, e, 2000a, b, c, 2001,2004, 2005,2006a, b; 2010, Roller and Lukás 1999, Roller et. al. 2006, Roller and Macek 2017, Roller and Olsovsky2012, Haris 2001a, 2009,2010, 2011,2012,2018a,b; Haris and Gyurkovics 2012). The higher classification of sawflies applied in this work follows the Hymenoptera part of Fauna Europaea (Achterberg 2013).
