according to the prevalence of the longhorn beetles. While exploring the fauna of hoverflies Sándor Tóth (2001) suggested as the sixth small area: the 'Bakonyalja' along with the Pannonhalmi-dombok. Through this amendment the natural geographical and zoogeographical division became congruent. THE ENTOMOLOGICAL RESEARCH OF THE MOUNTAINS A Magyar Birodalom Állatvilága (The Fauna of the Hungarian Empire) published in 1896 was the first big enterprise in which the scattered data on insects published until then were summarized, in this are also numerous facts about the Bakony Mountains. Thereafter, we find facts about the provenance from the mountains in national monographs of certain insect groups, but we find also summaries that only deal with certain areas. An example for this is the essay of Ferenc Wachsmann about Papa's surrounding, and also that of Vilmos Székessy treating the beetle fauna of the Tihany peninsula. From 1962, after the starting of the research programme, called 'A Bakony természeti képe' ('The natural picture of the Bakony Mountains') the research of the mountains ran up again. Numerous entomologists joined in the research. The results obtained so far have been published since 1963 in the A Veszprém Megyei Múzeumok Közleményei (Proceedings of the Museums in the county Veszprém) and from 1982 in the A Bakonyi Természettudományi Múzeum Közleményei (Folia Musei Historico-Naturalis Bakonyiensis).The monographical elaboration of certain insect groups is published in the series of the brochure called A Bakony természettudományi kutatásának eredményei (The results of the natural-historical research of the Bakony mountains), an important station of which was the publication of the zoological bibliography of the Bakony mountains. This was followed by a standard work (on a scientific subject) about dragonfilies, moths, longhorn beetles, butterflies and hoverflies. In the frame of the research programm, in the last 40 years, more than 80 entomologists made research in the mountains. As a result of their devotional work, the Bakony mountains became one of the most explored areas of our country from the point of view of entomology. However, this work is not finished yet, dozens of zoologists make research even today in the Bakony mountains. Besides the faunistic exploration they do also zoogeographical and ecological researches. For all that, there are further insect groups waiting for elaboration, and certain less studied areas may also present many unexplored themes for the entomologists.
