Vig Károly: Zoological Research in Western Hungary. A history (Szombathely, 2003)

128 Phylum Arthropoda (Aegopodium podagraria), angelica (Angelica sylvestris) and wild parsnip (Pastinaca sativa). Most of the spring-flying Andrenidae and Halicti species go mainly for the flowers of medicinal dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), shepherd's purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris) and common wintercress (Barbarea vulgaris). The West Hungarian border region distribution of several rare species were presented in an article on the apoid fauna of outer Somogy County, although without accurate localities (JÓZAN 2000). The ant fauna of the Őrség was studied by ALEXANDER G. RADCHENKO (1997), who found 5 6 ant species in the district, of which five (Myrmica schencki, Leptothorax corticalis, Formica polyctena, F. pressilabris and Lasius distinguendus) proved to be new to the Hungarian fauna. The richness of the ant fauna is explicable because the district is relatively undisturbed and some traditional farming methods survive. F. pressilabris, incidentally, was collected in 1973 near Kőszeg and features in 'A checklist of Hungarian ants' (GALLÉ et al. 1998). The collections in the Fertő-Hanság National Park in 1995-9 yielded 1045 specimens of 108 sawfly species, among them Hemichroa crocea, which was new to the Hungarian fauna. Three male specimens of Metallus albipes were also collected, in a Malaise trap set by Király Pond in Kapuvár—males of the species had not previously been known (ZOMBORI 2002). The species of the Dolerinae and Nematinae subfamilies were identified by ATTILA HARIS. TWO species rare in Hungary found during the processing were Pristiphora puncticeps and Dolerus megapterus (HARIS 2002). There were 1523 specimens to serve as a basis for elaborating on the braconid wasps of the Fertő-Hanság National Park. They were found to belong to 466 species. Of these, 95 proved to be new to the fauna. They follow in systematic order of subfamilies: Heterospilus genalis, Aleiodes heterogaster, Heterogamus testaceus, Bracon brevifemur, B. ochropus, B. pauris, Habrobracon ponticus, Diospilus inflexus, Foersteria polonoca, Meteorus colon, M. melanostictus, Diolcogaster hinzi, Glyptapanteles ripus, Microgaster auriculata, Microplitis moesta, M. tunetensis, Protapanteles endemus, Ichneutes flaviventris, Biosteres Xanthippe, Opius periclymeni, Aphaereta scaptomyzae, Aspilota blasii, A. hirticornis, A. inflatinervis, A. inflatitempus, A. jabingensis, A. louiseae, A. procreata, Dinotrema contracticorne, D. costulatum, D. cratocera, D. dimorpha, D. glabrum, D. isosoma, D. macrocera, D. nigricorne, D. phoridarum, D. pulvinata, D. semicompressa, D. significarum, D. tolerata, D. vituperata, Idiasta subannellata, Orthostigma maculipes, O. mandibulare, Pentapleura laevipleuris, Phaenocarpa canaliculata, P. fidelis, P. trisulcata, P. ungularis, Symphanes aciculata, Chorebus albimarginis, C. andizhanicus, C. angelicae, C. anita, C. artemisiellus, C. asramenes, C. brevicornis, C. cinctus, C. concinnus, C. eredne, С. cubocephalus, С. diremtus, С. fordi, С. geminus, С. gyrinus, С. lar, С. larides, С. lateralis, С. maculigastrus, С. misellus, С. nerissus, С. parvungula, С. phaedra, С. pulchellus, С rhanis, C. risilis, С rubicundus, C. senilis, C. spenceri, C. stenocera, C. subasper, C. tamsi, С tanis, C. thecla, C. turcomanus, Coloneura major, Dacnusa faeroeensis, D. gentianae, D. laeta, D. melicerta, D. merope, D. stramineipes, Protodacnusa litoralis, P. ruthei and Fates heterocera. There were 46 braconid species that lent some kind of faunistic character to the Fertő-Hanság National
