Természettudományok - Ábrahám, Levente: On the Neuropteroidae and Mecoptera of Baranya County, Hungary

ON THE NEUROPTEROIDEA AND MECOPTERA OF BARANYA COUNTY, HUNGARY Levente ÁBRAHÁM Ábrahám L.: On theNeuropteroidea andMecoptera of the Baranya County, Hungary. Abstract. The author records the data of Neuropteroidea, Mecoptera collected by five researchers, by light trap, by Malaise-trap. The collection 1975-1989 yielded 1892 specimens belonging to 55 species, their list is given. The most interesting species are Sisyra terminális Curt., Mantispa styriaca Poda., Hemerobius perelegans Steph., Hemerobius gilvus Stein., Hemerobius marginatus Klap., Sympherobius klapaleki Zel., Tjederina gracilis Schnei. Introduction The fauna of Neuropteroidea and Mecoptera in Hungary is poorly known. Their distribution is still incompletely maped. Looking back on the history of research of this group of insects it is intriguing to note that only very few collectors were interested in them. In the oldest sources there are some data from Mocsáry (1900) and Pongrácz (1914). Later on Újhelyi (1968) and Steinmann (1963) published new data from Hungary. Nearly 1900 specimens belonging to 55 species were identified. Most of the studied insects are deposited in the Somogy county Museum collection, most of them are in alcohol. I give the list of species that have ever been collected but during the research work found none of them. E.g. Aleuropteryx loewi Klap., Palpales libelluloides L., Libelloides macaronius Scop. Study area and Methods The study area was Baranya county in south Hungary. This paper gives data from 40 geographical points of the examined area (Fig.l). Two large geological regions are in southern Transdanubia. The first one is the Mecsek Mountains (680 m) and the Villányi Mountains (442 m). The mountains are constituted from middle aged linestone. Another area is a plain and the border roughly follows the Drava River. The climate of this area is mainly continental and the south downwards of the Mountains are submedditerran. Four methods were used for collecting: capturing by lamp and by light trap (with UV mercury bulb), daytime sweeping and Malaise-trap. The collected material The system and nomenclature follow those of H. Aspöck, U. Aspöck and Я. Hölzel (1980). The insects were collected by following entomologits (in order to save space abbreviations of their names are used in the text): Á=Levente Ábrahám, К
