According to recent publications the species was shown to occur in Germany, Austria, Croatia, Yugoslavia (Montenegro), Macedonia, Bulgaria. It is new in the fauna of Hungary, and, of course, the Carpathian Basin! Pseudocephaleia praeteritorum (Semenov-Tian-Shanskij, 1934) This extremely rare, colourful species has been shown to occur in the Carpathian Basin at Borosjenő (= Ineu, Rumania) collected by Diószeghy on the 10th April, 1921, from the leaf of Quercus robur. Some ten years ago another female specimen was collected, and, at this time, in Hungary: "Vászoly 1984. IV. 23. Balatonfelvidék Hungária leg. Kocs Irén & Podlussány A." The locality is in the Balaton Highland belonging to the range of the Transdanubian Central Mountains. According to information the specimen was captured in a quiet, warm spell, around noon time when sweeping the underwood vegetation and beating the twigs of a young oak-forest.
