one had no applicable scientific name. Furthermore, an undescribed species was found in the unsorted material from Peru. Beside the material of Hungarian Natural History Museum (HNHM), the Areas material of the following museums or private collections were studied either in situ or via loan or electronic media (the curators are in parentheses): The Hope Entomological Collections of The Natural History Museum, Oxford University (HCOU, Mr. DARREN MANN); The Natural History Museum (BMNH, Mrs. KIM GOODGER and Mr. PHILLIP RONALD ACKERY); Naturhistorisches Museum (NMW, Wien, Dr. MARTIN LÖDL); Zoologische Staatssammlung des Bayerischen Staates (ZSM, München, Dr. AXEL HAUSMANN); Mr. ALFRED MOSER (Säo Leopoldo, Brazil), who transferred the data of his personal collection (MC) and the glossy photos of the holotype of Areas delphia NlCOLAY deposited in the National Museum of Natural History (NMNH, Smithsonian Institution, Washington D.
