Hungarian locality data of Újhelyi'

s Trichoptera collection in the Hungarian Natural History Museum S. Nógrádi Hungarian locality data of Ujhelyi's Trichoptera collection in the Hungarian Natural History Museum - Ujhelyi's collection deposited in the HNHM contains altogether 202 species. 149 species originate from 222 Hungarian localities. All specimens were revised by the author, some of them were redetermined. Hungarian specimens of the species Micropterna caesareica Schmid and Parasetodes respersella Rambur are found only in this collection. INTRODUCTION Dr. Sándor Újhelyi (born 1901) had some very important collections of different insect groups, mostly Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Odonata, Orthopteroidea and Trichoptera. These collections were purchased by the Hungarian Natural History Museum and are deposited there. Ujhelyi's Trichoptera material was collected between the 1940s and the year 1984. Since he labelled the material very correctly, the collection gives important faunistical and phenological informations studying Hungarian caddisflies. Almost the whole material has been determined and the collection was set up by the system of Botosaneanu and Malicky (1978). Újhelyi has published certain parts of his material. As he had been active in working groups for studying some regions of Hungary, e.g. Bakony Mountains, Western Hungary, South Transdanubia, Mátra and Bükk Mountains etc., he elaborated and published the material concerning those regions (Újhelyi 1974, 1979, 1981a, 1983, 1985). He revised the Hungarian species of some genera and families and the results were published also (Újhelyi 1971, 1981&, 1982). The collection was purchased a few years ago by the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest. Since that time the total material was revised and the undetermined parts were determined by me. Since the collection contains a large amount of information on the Hungarian Trichoptera species, all data were noted down and arranged. In the next paragraph collecting sites of each species are given. The date, quantity of each collecting units and collector's name are not given. Altogether 202 species were found in the collection. 149 are from Hungarian collecting sites, 53 species were collected only abroad. Újhelyi collected his material mostly by daytime sweeping in the forties and fifties. Since the beginning of sixties he selected caddisflies relative systematically from many light traps. The light trap of Forestry Research Institute and the network of agricultural light traps provided much material from
