Sáfián Szabolcs – Malgay Viktor: Újabb előfordulási adatok Somogy megye nagylepke fauna ismeretéhez (Lepidoptera: Macrolepidoptera)

384 New distributional data on the Lepidoptera fauna in Somogy County (Lepidoptera: Macrolepidoptera) SZABOLCS SÁFIÁN —VIKTOR MALGAY The systemathic research on the Lepidoptera fauna of Somogy county started in the early 1970s. Since then many surveys have been made in the county mainly in the protected areas: Barcs Borókás, Zselic, Dráva Plane. The checklist of the Macrolepidoptera fauna of Somogy county was published by ÁBRAHÁM & UHERKOVICH (2001). In This article the authors present data from the Lepidoptera collection of the Dráva Völgye Secondary School and new results of their personal collectings between 19952004 in Somogy county. The diurnal species were captured by butterfly net. The nocturnal collectings were made by 160 W combined lamp (with an additional 16 W ultra violet light tube) or by 125 W and 250 W marcury-vapor lamp. Occasionally a Jermy light trap with 250 W mercury-vapor lamp was operated in Középrigóc. The samplings were taken mostly in the closer vicinity of Bares. The 3 main collecting sites are the following: Középrigóc kastélypark (UTM y = 531353; x = 71574) light trap; Középrigóc lőtér (UTM y = 531652; x = 71574) and Darány Kuti-őrház (UTM y = 534632; x = 71859). Additional collectings were made in Belső Somogy (Nagybajom) 1998, and Külső Somogy (Balatonlelle-lrmapuszta, Siófok-Töreki, Látrány). Localities of the sites are shown in Figure 1. New distributional data are given to 60 Macrolepidoptera species in Somogy county. 31 of the total have national or international conservational importance (Table 1.). Other species are locally endangered or are extremely rare {Hyphoraia aulica (Figure 5.), Atolmis rubricollis (Figure 6.), Diachrysia zosimi. Tyria jacobeae (Figure 4.) and Spiris striata have only one known biotope in Barcs Borókás. Rare migratory species also occur in the surveyed area. Acherontia atropos was found in a bee hive, Noctua interjecta was collected at Középrigóc lőtér. Aedia leucomelas is newly found in the southern part of Hungary (ÁBRAHÁM & UHERKOVICH 2000) It is still not known, that A. leucomelas has been expanding its area recently or a new migratory species has appeared in Hungary.
