Kovács, L.: Data to the knowledge of Hungarian Macrolepidoptera. V. The occurrence and distribution of some noctuid species (Lepidoptera) in Hungary
once visited the locale and actually succeeded to discover Cladium mariscus in a rather restricted spot of the erstwhile very extensive marshy region. According to literature data, this region was a favourite collecting locality of the lepidopterists of the capital in the first half of the last century. The recent appearance of zollikoferi in our home fauna justifies the assumption that the origin of the specimens serving for FREYER'S description should be sought for in Hungary. And on the basis of the above considerations the inference that the discovery was made in the area of the capital cannot be excluded. Arguments substantiating this theory are, on the one hand, the earlier phytocoenological conditions of Budapest and the well known usage that collectors restrict their activities, even in present days, to the nearer vicinity of their residence during the autumn. Owing to the rapid extension of the capital, one cannot, unfortunately, cherish the hope that zollikoferi will again be found in its presumably ancient locality. Prospects are, however, much better in the sense that by thorough and painstaking investigations further localities may be discovered and that, in the possession of a richer Hungarian material, the problems delineated above will satisfactorily be solved.
