Az Alpokalja természeti képe közlemények 3. (Praenorica - Folia historico-naturalia. Szombathely, 1996)
PRAENORICA Folia historico-naturalia, Ш (1996) beetles collected in Austria, then those which were collected in Győr-MosonSopron county. Data from Vas county were arranged in the following order: sporadic collections, items from the Kőszegi Mountains, and finally data of leaf beetles collected in Őrség and Vendvidék. The last group is data of findings in Zala county. In case of specimens originated from the same location, the name of the location is indicated only once, additional data are separated by commas. The same method has been used if someone collected at the same area at different times. The number of items is in brackets. The last data is the name of the depositories. Data of specimens that were found in different locations or by different collectors are separated by semicolons. At present the definition of Chrysomelidae is controversial and there is no consensus on the internal classification of the family. Based on a cladistic analysis new phylogeny of the subfamilies assigned traditionally to Chrysomelidae and Brachidae was recently proposed (REID, 1995). The arrangement of Chrysomelidae (including Brachidae) greatly differs from the traditional system. In the present work the traditional classification of the family and subfamilies widely used in European faunistic literature was followed (KIPPENBERG and DÖBERL, 1994). Although there are several species mentioned in the literature of which the occurrence can be considered impossible, the number of 352 species found in the territory is noteworthy. If we think on the richness of the habitats and vegetation cover of the region, this number is not surprising at all! This amount does not include species that, according the literature, distributed in the region, but their occurrence is practically impossible. Besides common species occuring everywhere in the country, species that prefer the moist and hilly or mountainous regions are in abundance. Species that distributed exclusively in the Alps or in the Carpathians contribute to the richness of the fauna. The ratio of occurrence of species that are rare or very rare and of which have one, two or three data of occurrence known in the present territory of Hungary are very high. The following list contains these species (species underlined are rare and have distribution in the mountainous regions only): Zeugophora flavicollis (MARSHAM, 1802); Labidostomis tridentata (LINNAEUS, 1758); Smarazdina flavicollis (CHARPENTIER, 1825); Cryptocephalus decemmaculatus (LINNAEUS, 1758); Cryptocephalus exiguus SCHNEIDER, 1792; Cryptocephalus frontalis MARSHAM, 1802; Cryptocephalus marginatus FABRICIUS, 1781; Cryptocephalus nitidulus FABRICIUS, 1787; Cryptocephalus parvulus O.
