NÓGRÁDI S. és UHERKOVICH Á.: MAGYARORSZÁG TEGZESEI (TRICHOPTERA) 375 Most of the specimens are deposited in the collection of the Natural History Department of Pannonius Museum (Pécs, Hungary), whereas others (mostly the samples from Szigetköz) are housed in the Hungarian Natural History Museum. Some small materials were sent to the collection of the Smithsonian Institution (Washington, D.C. USA), to Hans Malicky’s collection (Lunz am See, Austria) and to the Senckenberg Institute and the Museum of Frankfurt a. M. (Germany), respectively. In the next four chapters - in the Specific Part - we present the Hungarian fauna in details. Chapter 5 (Survey of each species) is the lengthiest and most important part of the volume. In this chapter we give information about 209 species occurring in Hungary. These species belong to twenty families. We rank two subfamilies onto family level, i.e. we mention ‘family Ptilocolepidae’ and ‘family Apataniidae’, following recent authors. Neither an identification key, nor detailed description of the species is given. On the other hand, we cite the original description (with the original combinations), we give the measurements (body length), the most important forms of both males and females (with references to figures), the differential diagnoses of similar species, the rough distribution of the species (area), and its distribution, frequency and sometimes its biotopes in Hungary. Almost all the species are illustrated by Sára Nógrádi’s original drawings made specially for this volume. The illustration of each species consists of five to ten details, mostly the lateral, dorsal and ventral (sometimes caudal) views of the abdomen of both sexes, the phallus (aedeagus) and titilator (paramer) in males or the bursa copulatrix in females in certain cases. Within a single genus (or in relative genera) all the species are shown from the same views. Altogether, about 1300 details were drawn and are published. In the paragraph for each species we also give references to the relevant Hungarian distribution map, and also to the activity diagrams, by indicating a number in a box (e.g. |123p. The maps and activity diagrams are collected in the Appendix. We hope this chapter will be helpful to all the entomologists interested in caddisflies in details and to all who want to study the Hungarian fauna. Chapter 6 (The biotopes of Hungarian caddisflies and their communities) presents the most important caddisfly biotopes in classifying the zones as krenal, rhithral, potamal ones, standing waters and moors. Each of biotope type is characterized by its dominant (frequent), rare and characteristic species. We give thirty-eight tables listing the most frequent species in the order of dominance. This summary was compiled based on our computer database. We have ascertained that caddisfly communities with the highest species diversity occur in the smaller running waters of hilly and almost plain regions of southwest and West Transdanubia, and in the upper section of larger rivers, mainly that of the Dráva and the Danube. We also calculated similarities of the same water types (running waters, larger running waters (rivers) and standing waters). According to this similarity, the upper sections of rivers stand close to each other, also the different types of standing waters in the same area (e. g. a forest bog of Darány and an old fish pond in its vicinity). The species diversity remarkably diminishes towards the lower section of larger rivers, mostly in the case of Danube and Tisza. The diversity of caddisfly communities also diminishes along river Dráva, towards the lower section to a certain degree, but not such remarkably as in the Danube.
