A. penicilliger kratochvili ROSICKY

; Peromyscopsylla fallax (ROTHSCHILD); R. integella (ROTHSCHILD); P. bidenatata (KOLENATI) and others. Because the main Slovakian localities are at an altitude between 550 and 1000 m, it may be supposed that the species might occur in the mountains of Hungary. Since Rhadinopsylla mesoides was not included in the Hungarian fauna work, the morphological patterns of both sexes are given in Figs. 5-8. Amalaraeus penicilliger kratochvili ROSISKY, 1955 — Locality. 14 rfrfanà 16 $ $ : Mátraalmás Rudolftanya and Szuha patak vgy., 700-750 m (Mátra Mts., Com. Nógrád) 12-14 October 1983, leg. KOVÁCIK, MÉSZÁROS and STOLLMANN, hosts: C. glareolus (SCHREB.), M. arvalis (PALL.) and P. subterraneus DESÉLYS-LONGCH. This subspecies of A. penicilliger (GRUBE) is of mountain distribution in Central Europe and the Balkan peninsula. In the Slovakian part of the Western Carpathians on the whole it has a contimuous distribution. It does not occur in lowlands and hollows, therefore we suppose an isolated island-like population of A. penicilliger kratochvili in the Mátra Mts. In the neighbouring mountains on both sides of the Mátra it was not recorded in the same vegetation and at the same time. For the mid-October sample of A. penicilliger kratochvili the following indexes of infestation were calculated (for the C. glareolus only): extensity 14.4%; mean intensity 0.27 and dominance 15.0. The occurrence of A. penicilliger kratochvili in Hungary may be expected in the Zemplén Mts. as a continuation of the distribution from the Slovakian part and in the western part of our country —in the foothills of Alps

—now. In the Mátra Mts. both congeneric species of the genus Amalaraeus occur together {A. arvicolae IOFF was recorded by HAITLINGER 1973), therefore figures to show the variability of the 7th sternum and the patterns of internal genitalia of females of both species are given (Figs. 9-11 ). The separation of the females is based on that ambiguous patterns published in the key (SZABÓ 1975) is quite impossible since the shape of patterns overlap. Doratopsylla dasyenema cuspis ROTHSCHILD, 1915 — Locality. 6 ç?ç? and 8 9 9- Kishuta, Rostalló, 450-500 m (Zemplén Mts; Com. Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén), 11-14 November 1982, leg. Figs. 1-4. Atyphloceras nuperus (JORDAN): 1 = head and pronotum of male (after Smit), 2 = clasper, 3 = phallosome and 9th sternum, 4 = outline of sternum 7 of female. — Fig. 5.
