E-mail: sarj@freemail.hu Abstract - Stenelmis consobrina Dufour, 1835 is recorded for the first time from Hungary (Teklafalu, Baranya county). Two further rare elmids, Macronychus quadrituberculatus P. W.J. MÜLLER, 1806 and Potamophilus acuminatus (FABRICIUS, 1792), are also recorded from the same locality. With one figure. Key words - Stenelmis consobrina, Macronychus quadrituberculatus, Potamophilus acuminatus, Hungary. Stenelmis DUFOUR, 1835, the largest genus of the family Elmidae, contains more than 170 species distributed in the Palaearctic, Afrotropical, Oriental and Nearctic regions (KODADA & JÄCH 2005). In Europe three species of the genus have been recorded so far: Stenelmis canaliculata (GYLLENHAL, 1808), S. consobrina DUFOUR, 1835 and S. puberula REITTER, 1887. The species of Stenelmis (especially S. consobrina and S. puberula) seem to be widely distributed, but extremely rare (and/or scarcely collected) beetles, only very few localities are known. None of them were recorded from Hungary before (KOVÁCS & MERKL 2005). According to JÄCH et al. (2006) Stenelmis consobrina (Fig. 1) is recently known from Bosnia-Herzegovina, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Spain, Switzerland and outside of Europe from Morocco, Israel, Syria, Turkmenistan and Turkey. In Hungary, a specimen of S. consobrina was found in the built-up area of Teklafalu village, in Baranya county (geocoordinates: N 45°56'48.07", E 17°43'34.80", lOx 10 km UTM grid code: YL19) on 11 TH June, 2004, caught by light trap (collectors: JÓZSEF SÁR and PÉTER SÁR). Further 15 specimens were collected at the same locality on 7 TRI July, 2004, one on 20^ July, 2007 also at light. Close to the site of capture there is a canal running to Dráva River, which is
