Várpalota Plateau. The species has never been recorded from the Northern Bakony apart from one vagrant female recorded from the Hárskút Plateau. The named forms are extremely rare but the number of yellow spots found within the black marginal border is extremely variable in some females. In late July 1996 females were observed in the wild oviposting on Vicia hirsuta. Protected. Status in the Bakony: 3. Colias erate (ESPER, 1804) Eastern Clouded Yellow (Item 18) This polyvoltine species of Eastern Palaearctic origin has spread Westwards into Hungary during the last few years and now occupies nearly all the Carpathian Basin. There is however no evidence of C. erate overwintering in the Bakony. Worn migratory specimens from the Lower Danube arrive each spring and their offspring fly in a second generation from the end of June/early July. During the first few years of its migration only 10% of all specimens recorded were females and of these nearly 1:10 were/ pallida STAUDINGER. The typical yellow female is extremely rare. C. erate's ability to hybridise with C. crocea is well documented and many forms such as/ poliographus MOTSCHULSKY,/ nilgiriensis FELDER and/ formosana SHIROZU have been recorded. Not protected. Status in the Bakony: Unclear, depending on yearly migrations. Leptidea morsei (FENTON, 1881) ssp. major GRUND, 1905 Fenton's Wood White (Map 4, Item 20) A Eurosibirian species not recorded for 15 years in the Bakony and now believed to be extinct. L. morsei was never common, It was only ever found in small sensitive populations and was probably wiped out by land cultivation. It once flew with L. sinapis close to the AjkaVeszprém breakline in areas undisturbed by human activity. As little as 25 years ago L. morsei was found in very limited numbers in the environs of Márkó and Herend. Protected. Status in the Bakony: 0/1. III. Family: SATYRIDAE Hipparchia (Eumenis) statilinus (HUFNAGEL, 1766) ssp. norica VERITY Tree Grayling (Map 9, Item 26) This Mediterranean species was first by observed Antal Schmidt in late July 1908 flying in dry, sandy habitats around Fenyőfő. The author has never recorded this species and it is now believed to be extinct in the Bakony region. Bauxite mining and land mismanagement are undoubtedly the main reasons for this species' demise. Not protected. Status in the Bakony: 0/1. Maniola lycaon (KÜHN, 1774) Dusky Meadow Brown (Map 10, Item 34) A Western Palaearctic species flying from mid June until the end of August in one prolonged generation. M. lycaon is uncommon and rather local in the region and has recently become extinct in many of its former habitats. Its remaining strongholds can be found in the lowland areas of the Southern and Northern Bakony. Not protected. Status in the Bakony: 3.
