hilltopping. Water drainage measures are responsible for the loss of nearly 80% of all suitable habitats. Research shows that the Hungarian race of L. dispar is no different to the central European ssp. rutilus and subsequently ssp. hungarica SZABÓ 1956 has been rejected. Protected species. Status in the Bakony: 3/2. Lycaena hippothoe (LINNAEUS, 1761) ssp. sumadiensis SZABÓ, 1956 Purple-edged Copper (Map 28, Item 92) This beautiful copper was once widely distributed in the Northern Bakony and up until 25 years ago was fairly common along the Veszprém-Ajka breakline around Herend, Szentgál and Csehbánya. Subspecies sumadiensis is bivoltine the first brood flying in May/June and the second generation on the wing in August/September. Sadly many of its habitats have been destroyed and at present this species is reported as being very local and rare. Isolated colonies have recently been recorded in the Tapolca Basin by Lajos Németh, from the Eastern Bakony by Levente Ábrahám and in the Pécsely neighbourhood by the Szécsényi group. Up until the mid 1970's a single brooded colony of L. hippothoe flew in the fields and flatter valleys of the Hajag's Massif but its habitats have been totally destroyed and all that remains of this race are four specimens housed in the author's collection. Protected species. Status in the Bakony: 3/2. Lycaena alciphron (ROTTEMBURG, 1775) Purple-shot Copper (Map 30, Item 93) This Western-Palaearctic species is found throughout Hungary and the Carpathian Basin but is local and usually uncommon in the Bakony. Two distinct ecoforms occur in the region. The Southern form found around Mt. Kab and in the vicinity of Szdc and Csárda-puszta is on the wing in May flying in relatively dry habitats. It is noticeably small with light coloured markings. In the North Bakony the copper exists in a much larger, darker form and its hindwings are more strongly marked with violet scales. This Northern form flies in mid June/July and can be found in cold, wet, isolated valleys such as the Séd Valley, Menta-Valley, MaxValley and also on Mt. Kőris. Form/ hellenore where the orange ground colour is suffused with creamy white scaling occurs rarely in some males Research undertaken by Zsolt Bálint suggests that Hungarian races of alciphron relate to the nominate form and not as previously reported the Eastern race ssp. chairemon. Protected. Status in the Bakony: Southern Bakony 4; Northern Bakony 3. Lampides boeticus (LINNAEUS, 1767) Long-tailed Blue (Item 96) This species has been reported flying around Colutea bushes on Mt. Tamás & at other localities in the Balaton Highlands but to date the author has not been able to confirm any of these records. Not protected. Status in the Bakony: unknown at present. Everes alcetas (HOFFMANNSEGG, 1804) Provencal Short-tailed Blue (Map 31, Item 99) First reports of Everes alcetas occurring in the Bakony were made during the 1960's. To date only eleven small colonies have been discovered. It must therefore be considered a rare species in the region.
