Sixteen species, Micropeplus longipennis Kraatz, 1859, Geodromicus kunzei (Heer, 1839), Ochthephilus omalinus (Erichson, 1840), Hesperophilus defensus (Fauvel, 1872), H. pallipes (Gravenhorst, 1806), Nestus phyllobates (Penecke, 1901), Tesnus eumerus (Kiesenwetter, 1850), Ocypus brevipennis (Heer, 1839), Sepedophilus constant (Fowler, 1888), Gyrophaena poweri Crotch, 1866, Placusa depressa Mäklin, 1845, Cathyusa scitula (Erichson, 1837), Dasygnypeta velata (Erichson, 1837), Amischa soror (Kraatz, 1856), Hydrosmecta longula (Heer, 1839) and Dimetrota cadaverina (Brisout, 1860) are recorded from Hungary for the first time. A further species, Geodromicus suturalis (Lacordaire, 1835), is reported as new for the Hungarian fauna, however, this species was collected outside of the area of őrség. INTRODUCTION As for the species of the beetle family Staphylinidae, only scattered locality data have been published so far from the area of őrség. For example, the occurrence of some species deposited in the Janus Pannonius Museum have been mentioned in ÁDÁM'S (1995) paper. This family is represented by about 1200 species in Hungary, of which 334 ones have been known to occur in the territory of őrség (see Table L). The collected material is deposited in the collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum (Department of Zoology, Budapest), Janus Pannonius Museum (Pécs), Mátra Museum (Gyöngyös) and Savaria Museum (Szombathely). Concerning the species characteristic for Őrség some examples may be given in the following: Micropeplus longipennis, Olophrum austriacum, Hesperophilus cribricollis, H. defensus, H. pallipes, Nestus phyllobates, Tesnus eumerus, Paederus brevipennis, Bisnius cyanipennis, Paragabrius nigrita, Euryporus picipes, Schinomosa lepida, Tachyporus corpulentus, Gyrophaena williamsi.
