Natura Somogyiensis 15 181-194 Kaposvár, 2009 Contribution to the Microlepidoptera fauna of Balkans, Nr. 1 (Lepidoptera) Imre Fazekas Biological Dept, of Regiograf Institute, Majális tér 17/A, H-7300 Komló, Hungary, e-mail: fazekas.i@hu.inter.net Fazekas, I.: Contribution to the Microlepidoptera fauna of Balkans, Nr. 1 (Lepidoptera). Abstract: New records of 41 species collected in Balkans during more collecting trips between 1985 and 1996 are given. These species were observed during the day and night field surveys. Distributional or taxonomical notes are given for other species. Acrolepiopsis vesperella (Zeller, 1840) Herculia incarnatalis (Zeller, 1847) and Crassa unitella (Hübner, 1796) are recorded for the first time in Bulgaria. Yponomeuta rorella (Hübner, 1796), Y. cagnagella (Hübner, 1813), Ethmia bipunctella (Fabricius, 1775) and Metacrambus carectellus (Zeller, 1847) are new species in Croatian fauna. Acompsia tripunctella ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775) is new to Greece. With 10 figures. Keywords: Microlepidoptera, Balkans, faunistic, new records. Introduction The knowledge of the Balkans fauna has been enriched by the work of both amateur and professional researchers. It was a milestone when Karsholt and Razowski (1996) published their checklist of the Microlepidoptera of Europe. Levente Ábrahám (H-Kaposvár) has undertaken zoological expeditions in Balkans between 1985 and 1989. Imre Fazekas (H-Komló) and Kálmán Szeőke (H-Székesfehérvár) have both collected a few specimens in the region. In this paper records of 41 species collected during these expeditions are published and notes on distribution and taxonomy are presented. The present paper adds more new data collected during the author’s field work in Balkans. The occurrence of Acrolepiopsis vesperella (Zeller, 1840), Herculia incarnatalis (Zeller, 1847) and Crassa unitella (Hübner, 1796) in Bulgaria is not surprising, the first records of the taxa. Yponomeuta rorrella (Hübner, 1796), Y. cagnagella (Hübner, 1813), Ethmia bipunctella (Fabricius, 1775) and Metacrambus carectellus (Zeller, 1847) are new to the Croatian fauna. Acompsia tripunctella ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775) is new to Greece. All specimens are deposited in the Lepidoptera Collection of the Somogy County Museum in Kaposvár and Biological Department of Regiograf Institute in Komló. Basically we apply the system and nomenclature of Karsholt and Razowski (1996), with some minor changes.
