Abstract: The author announces the presence of Tosirips magyarus magyarus Razowski in Hungary, the first record of the taxon in Central Europe. He describes the habitat and gives a photograph of the species, drawing of the genitalia and distribution map. With 5 figures. Key words: Lepidoptera, Tortricidae, Tosirips magyarus magyarus, new records, distribution, biology, Hungary Introduction Twenty years ago, Josef Razowski studied examples of a tortricid species from Romania, from Bulgaria and from Syria which are very similar to Tortrix perpulchranus Kennel, 1901. He showed that these adults are not identical to T. perpulchranus, but belonged to a hitherto undescribed species. He also showed that the taxon perpulchranus does belong in the genus Tortrix Linnaeus, 1758, and described a new genus, Tosirips Razowski (1978), with type-species Tortrix perpulchranus Kennel, 1901. He described the new species from Romania and Bulgaria as Tosirips magyarus Razowski, 1978 and found examples of a different race in Syria. In Europe, only the nominate subspecies Tosirips m. magyarus is present, and the Syrian population is subspecies syriacus Razowski, 1978. T magyarus magyarus has been found subsequently in Serbia, Slovenia, Italy and Corsica, but there have been no records from Central Europe until now. I have recently collected the nominate subspeies in Hungary, in the Mecsek Mountains, and present here the more important data on locality, describe the habitat and depict a distribution map. Tosirips magyarus magyarus Razowski, 1978 (Fig. 1) Nota lepid. 10 (1): 90-91. Type-locality: Romania; Borosjenő (= Ineu). Diagnosis: Wing span 14-19 mm in male and 17-21 mm in female. Antenna clear brown, with many clear yellow scales. Ocellus and chaetosema well developed. Labial palpus pale yellowish. Frons, patagium tand tegula pale yellow irrorated with clear brown scales. Thorax dark brown. Legs greyish white and glossy like silk. Third leg with medial and apical spurs well-developed, one much longer than the other. Forewing pattern (postbasal and median fascia, subapical blotch) blurred, less clear than in T perpulchranus. Ground colour of forewing cream ochreous in nominate subspecies, with trans-
