Curculionidae: Bagoinae Bagous bulgaricus ANGELOV, 1989 - Pest county: Dömsöd, Apajpuszta, 1. X. 1952, É. KOVÁCS (HNHM). - The species was already reported from Hungary by CALDARA & O'BRIEN (1998), who mentioned the following record: "Hungary: Hungária county occ, Harkány, 9-14.5. 1982, leg. W. Richter". One specimen was found in the collection of the HNHM. The species is also known from Bulgaria and Greece. Bagous claudicans BOHEMAN, 1845 - Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county: Vajdácska, Kopaszlósarok, 6. X. 2005, G. HEGYESSY & A. PODLUSSÁNY (coll. A. PODLUSSÁNY & Kazinczy Museum, Sátoraljaújhely). Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok county: Cibakháza, Holt-Tisza, 13. X. 2005, G. JENSER, A. PODLUSSÁNY & B. TALLÓSI (coll. A. PODLUSSÁNY & HNHM). - New to the fauna of Hungary. Wintering specimens were sifted from leaf litter of poplar trees at a distance of 2 to 3 meters from the waterside. It is not easy to distinguish from Bagous collignensis (HERBST, 1797), the aedeagi of the two species being nearly identical. B. collignensis is smaller (2.2-2.9 mm), its rostrum is dilated apically, while B. claudicans is larger (2.8-3.3 mm), its rostrum is parallel-sided apically, and its second tarsomere is somewhat longer than wide. The species is distributed in Northern, Western and Middle Europe. Its host plants are species of Equisetum. Bagous dieckmanni GRATSHEV, 1993 - Bács-Kiskun county: Kalocsa, I. PEREGI (HNHM). Budapest: Budapest, J. HAJÓSS (HNHM). - CALDARA & O'BRIEN (1998) mentioned a specimen with a label "Ungheria" deposited in the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale, Milano. Four specimens were found in the collection of the HNHM. The species is also known from Russia and Slovakia. Bagous lothari CALDARA et O'BRIEN, 1998 - Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county: Sátoraljaújhely, C. CHYZER. Budapest: Albertfalva, 31. V. 1916, H. DIENER; Tétény, J. HAJÓSS; Rákos, D. KUTHY; Sváb-hegy, 12. V. 1892, H. DIENER. Pest county: Isaszeg, J. HAJÓSS; Pécel, D. KUTHY. Somogy county: Siófok, F. LlCHNECKERT (all specimens in HNHM). - New to the fauna of Hungary. Several specimens were found in the collection of the HNHM. Their identity is verified by the study of the aedeagus. All specimens are very old, so occurrence of this species in Hungary should be confirmed by further collectings. The species was described from the Fruska Gora in Serbia; it is also known from Southern Austria. Bagous rufimanus PÉRICART, 1989 - Bács-Kiskun county: Kalocsa, SPEISER; Szeremle, 14. VII. 1960, J.
