onyms. Dr. J. Martens from Mainz has been kind enough to check one juvenile specimen without denticles on its body, which seems so typical for this genus. I guess that Crosbycus bukkensis Loksa, 1962 and C. transdanubicus Loksa, 1962, mentioned in Szalay'

s key, were actually juvenile M. chrysomelas. Lophopilio palpinalis (Herbst, 1799) It had been said to be a species typical for wet forests. Though it was collected in open, more dry places (Spoek 1963). Szalay mentions only a few collecting localitites. Yet I think it may belong to the more common species; I have seen specimens from all over Western Hungary. Of all the harvestmen specimens collected at Szendehely the vast majority belongs to this species. All were juveniles. More material from pitfall traps are needed to get a better idea about its occurrence of this species in Hungary. Egaenus convexus (C. L. Koch, 1835) Only three males and one female of this fascinating species have been collected. It had been collected in numerous places in Hungary, sometimes in overwhelming numbers. I think the specimens from the Börzsöny Mountains are more or less coincidental catchings, because this thermophilous species is rather more frequently collected on drier and warmer sites. Oligolophus tridens (C. L. Koch, 1838) As L. palpinalis O. tridens belongs to the more common forest species. Yet unlike L. palpinalis it is not restricted to the ground layer of the forest, because adults are often collected in higher layers. Also in the Börzsöny Mountains O. tridens proves to be common, only second to the numbers of L. palpinalis. As expected, almost all the specimens were juveniles; adults are particularly common in the end of autumn. Lacinius ephippiatus (C. L. Koch, 1835) Unfortunately we do not know much about the occurrence of L. ephippiatus in Hungary. The specimens mentioned as Strandibunus obliquus C. L. Koch by Kolosváry (1929) and Szalay probably belong to this species. The animals are quite mobile; during the day they may be found in the ground layer, yet at night they climb to higher regions. In the pitfall traps 13 males and 6 females were collected. Mitopus morio (Fabricius, 1799) Of the Opilionid species occurring in forests, M. morio is most often collected. Not because it is more common than the previous species, but because the adults of this species are rather big animals, which climb to higher than the ground layer in the forests and therefore easily caught by the eye. Adults appear early in the summer, that is why only a few specimens were caught in the traps: one male and five females.
