Six species (Neanura alba Törne, 1956, Onychiurus terricola Kos, 1940, Onychiurus subnemoratus Gisin, 1957, Tetracanthella franzi Cassagnau, 1959, Heterosminthurus bilineatus (Bourlet, 1842), Heterosminthurus linnaniemii (Stach, 1920)) proved to be new to the Hungarian fauna. INTRODUCTION The Collembola fauna of Őrség is mostly undiscovered yet. In 1994 Csaba THURÓCZY sent me some material for identification, extracted in Berlese tunnels and caught from grass level by sweepnetting. All specimens were collected by Csaba THURÓCZY and Károly VÍG. Present work contains the first processing of this material. As the collecting continues, the number of the species will probably rise 3-4 times as much as reported presently. There are no data in the special literature about the Collembola fauna of őrség so far. Despite the small number of species there are many specialties, which suggests a rich fauna in the area. The new species in the Hungarian fauna are as follows: Neanura alba Törne, 1956 (Fig. 1.), Onychiurus terricola Kos, 1940 (Fig. 2.), Onychiurus subnemoratus Gisin, 1957, Tetracanthella franzi Cassagnau, 1959 (Figs. 3-4.), Heterosminthurus bilineatus (Bourlet, 1842) (Fig. 5.), Heterosminthurus linnaniemii (Stach, 1920) (Fig. 6.). The proof specimens of the collected species were preparated (Marc Andre II.) and are stored at the Department of Forest Protection of the University of Forestry and Wood Sciences in Sopron.
