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

Phylum Arthropoda 129 Park, either by rarity (19) or zoogeographical distribution (27). The latter group can be classified as steppe and forest-steppicolous, arboricolous, boreo-alpine species and species with a disjunct area. The rare species are Aleiodes medianus, Blacus interstitialis, B. leptostigma, Bracon illyricus, B. ochropus, Chelonus wesmaeli, Dolichogenidea furtim, Heterospilus genalis, Iphiaulax impostor, Macrocentrus kurnakovi, Marshiella plumicomis, Meteorus brevicauda, M. oculatus, Microgaster caris, M. fulvicrus, Opius attributus, O. flammeus, O. viennensis and Polydegmon intermedius. The steppe and forest-steppicolous species are Aleiodes ductor, A. schirjajevi, Apanteles ingenuoides, Bracon brevifemur, B. delibator, B. hungaricus, B. pectoralis, B. stshegolevi, B. trucidator, B. urinator, Heterogamus testaceus, Heterospilus ater, H. testaceus, Microplitis pseudomurina, Rhaconotus aciculatus, R. major and Rogas testaceus. The arboricolous species are Bracon hylobii, Coeloides melanotus, Doryctes leucogaster, Foersteria puber, Glyptapanteles fulvipes and four Spathius species. The boreoalpine species is Biosteres Xanthippe. The species with a disjunct area is Opius opacus (Europe and Mongolia

—PAPP 2002). The presence of 59 Pteromalidae species was shown in the Fertő-Hanság National Park (LÁSZLÓ 2002). Altogether 63 species of Chrysididae (14), Pompilidae (23) and Vespidae (26) were found in the Fertő-Hanság National Park after processing by LÁSZLÓ MÓCZÁR (2002). The following are of great value from the natur-conservation or faunistic points of view: Hedychridium jucundum, Hedychrum niemelai, Chrysis ramburi, Ceropales pygmaea, Dipogon vechti, Episyron arrogáns, Priocnemis hankoi, Discoelius zonalis, Stenodynerus clypeopictus and Eumenes sareptanus isolatus. The other families of Aculeata collected were compiled by ZSOLT JÓZAN. An annotated list of 5 Scolioidea, 60 Sphecoidea and 165 Apoidea species was presented. One species, Coelioxys alata, proved new to the Hungarian fauna (JÓZAN 2002b). Of the rarities, the following are worth mentioning: Smicromyrme sicana, Psenulus concolor, Pemphredon clypealis, Polemistus abnormis, Trypoxylon fronticorne, Rhopalum clavipes, Crossocerus binotatus, C. megacephalus, Hylaeus cardioscapus, H. moricei, Andrena chrysosceles, A. obsoleta spongiosa, Melitturga clavicornis, Lasioglossum griseolum, Hoplitis tridentata, Chalicodoma parietinum, Megachile ligniseca, Nomada guttulata, Epoloides coecutiens and Xylocopa iris. The ant fauna of the Fertő-Hanság National Park was studied by a team of Hungarian and Transylvanian researchers coordinated by the Ecology Department of the University of Sciences in Szeged. There has been a revival of myrmecofaunistic research in the Carpathian Basin and throughout Central Europe, with numerous important publications, among them the article presenting the Fertő-Hanság ant fauna (Csősz et al. 2002). This includes records from the Szigetköz and republishes Őrség data from RADCHENKO (1997). Altogether 63 ant species have been confirmed in the park, Myrmica microrubra, Stenamma debile, Tetramorium impurum, Lasius jensi, Formica fuscocinerea and two uncertain species (a Tetramorium sp., Sopron: Szárhalom, and between Farkasfa and Apátistvánfalva; a Solenopsis sp., Őrség: Felsőszölnök) being new to the Hungarian fauna. Three other species are very rare in the Carpathian
