FRIVALDSZKY TMRE 1859: Hazánk faunájára vonatkozó adatok, és a Pusztapeszéri erdő [Data on the fauna of our motherland, and the forest of Puszta-peszér.] -A Magyar Tudós Társaság Évkönyvei, Buda 9: 19-28. - Inventory number: Ad 1127. This is the published form of an oral presentation given in the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. It is entirely written in Hungarian, but again some nomina nuda are introduced in binominal Latin. The paper is a faunistic survey of the legendary hunting place of Melanargia suwarovius formerly known to occur in scattered colonies on the plain around Pest. The forest of Pusztapeszér was one of the most famous ones (FOUNTAINE 1980: 106-109). The aim of the presentation was to describe meticulously the early stages and life history of "Autophila Pannonica, Friv.", anoctuid moth species described by FREYER from "Unterungarn" as "Noct. Pannonica (Frivaldszky)" on the basis of material sent to him by FRIVALDSZKY (FREYER 1842: 67, pi. 330, figs 3-4). FRIVALDSZKY considered himself to be the author of the name. FRIVALDSZKY IMRE 1865: Jellemző adatok Magyarország faunájához [Characteristic data of the fauna of Hungary.] - A Magyar Tudományos Akadémiai Évkönyvei, Pest 9 (4): 1-274 pp., 1-13 pis. - Inventory numbers: B 501, B 502, Eg 574. This is the main work of FRIVALDSZKY dealing with the whole fauna of all the countries belonging at that time under the crown of Hungary. Thus, it does not deal with present-day Croatia and Transylvania, but with the faunas of present-day upper Serbia (Vojvodina) and Slovakia, as well as the western-border region of Romania (Banat and Partium). The body of the text is entirely in Hungarian and contains two parts devoted to faunistics and systematics. The latter part is actually a more detailed description of the animal species considered by FRIVALDSZKY to be characteristic for the Hungarian fauna. It provides the formal descriptions of numerous coleopterans including the genera Haplolophus (Figs 7-9) and Mycetomychus and their type species, plus one lepidopteran (Orgyia ericae intermedia). In the special Lepidoptera Library of the HNHM under the entry Ec. 61 there is a manuscript with the title "Die Schmetterlinge Ungarn'

s eine freie Uebersetzung aus dem ungarischen" dated as "Ofen, 25tn/4, 1868" which is the German translation of the published Hungarian text specifically dealing with certain butterfly and moth species. This was probably done by FRIVALDSZKY himself, as the style of the handwriting is similar to his own, and every page is signed with his initial "f" (Figs 10-12). Interestingly, an extensive summary of this publication was published in German, which cannot be considered to be authoritative as it is written "nach Frivaldszky" (based on FRIVALDSZKY) (ANONYMOUS 18J68). It was most probably written by LUDWIG AIGNER (alias AB AFI-AIGNER LAJOS), a book-handler, a contemporary of FRIVALDSZKY, but subsequently became a prominent lepidopterist,
