210 DUNÁNTÚLI DOLGOZATOK (A) TERMÉSZETTUDOMÁNYI SOROZAT 9. (1998) Data of minor collectings carried out in the 1980s and even earlier are also incorporated into this paper. It should be mentioned that a very interesting species, Pytho depressus (Linnaeus, 1767) (Pythidae - Tenebrionoidea) was found in the area, near Heresznye. This species and the family is still unknown in Hungary. The frontier between Croatia and Hungary does not always follow the Dráva river, so small areas of land on the "Hungarian" side (left side of Dráva) belong to Croatia. Unfortunately, the voucher specimen of Pytho depressus was collected in such a Croatian spot. Strictly speaking, therefore, this rare species remains unknown in Hungary, although it is most likely that it occurs in other suitable habitats of the region. Classification The classification and the sequence of the families are according to LAWRENCE & NEWTON (1995), with the exception of Scaphidiidae and Bruchidae. These are at present subfamilies of the Staphylinidae and Chrysomelidae, respectively, but are treated here as distinct families from practical reasons. The families mentioned in the List of species belong to the following suborders and superfamilies: Suborder MYXOPHAGA: Microsporidae Suborder POLYPHAGA Superfamily Hydrophiloidea: Histeridae Superfamily Staphylinoidea: Agyrtidae, Silphidae, Scaphidiidae, Staphylinidae (Steninae, Euaesthetinae) Superfamily Scirtoidea: Scirtidae Superfamily Buprestoidea: Buprestidae Superfamily Byrrhoidea: Byrrhidae, Limnichidae, Heteroceridae Superfamily Elateridae: Eucnemidae, Throscidae, Elateridae Superfamily Bostrichoidea: Dermestidae, Bostrichidae, Anobiidae Superfamily Cucujoidea: Sphindidae, Brachypteridae, Nitidulidae, Monotomidae, Silvanidae, Cucujidae, Laemophloeidae, Phalacridae, Erotylidae, Byturidae, Biphyllidae, Bothrideridae, Cerylonidae, Alexiidae, Endomychidae, Coccinellidae, Corylophidae Superfamily Tenebrionoidea: Mycetophagidae, Ciidae, Melandryidae, Colydiidae, Tenebrionidae, Oedemeridae, Meloidae, Pyrochroidae, Salpingidae, Anthicidae, Aderidae Superfamily Chrysomeloidea: Bruchidae List of species Microsporidae Sphaerius acaroides Waltl, 1838: Gyékényes, Nyárfás, from wet plant debris, 30. IV. 1993, from muddy sand, 21. VIII. 1993, L. Ádám; Órtilos, Dráva, from sandy gravel, 30. IV. 1993, L. Ádám. - The family name Sphaeriidae Erichson, 1845 is a junior homonym of a molluscan family Sphaeriidae Jeffreys, 1862 and it and its type genus Sphaerius Waltl, 1838 were rejected in favour of Microsporidae Kolenati, 1846 and Microsporia Kolenati, 1846, respectively. However, according to M. JÄCH (personal communication), this action created a number of new problems
