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

Phylum Arthropode! 145 from a light trap by the Cikota Plantation near Acsád (September 11, 2001). A year later, another specimen was collected at Sopron (Fáber-rét, August 10, 2002—SZABÓKY 2002a). As for another moth new to the Hungarian fauna, Helcystogramma arulensis, it emerged that there were several misidentified specimens in the collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum, including ones from Csorna and Sopron in Western Hungary (PASTORÁLIS et al. 2000). The same article reports on two further moth species found in the Őrség National Park, Teleiodes flavimaculella (Farkasfa: Zsilavec út) and a Prays ruficeps (Kétvölgy). Also from the same two localities came the moth Dichomeris latipennella (SZABÓKY 2001). The first Hungarian specimen of the leaf-roller Cydia zebeana was collected by CSABA SZABÓKY and KATALIN LESKÓ in the Sopron Hills (Ultra-hegy) in May 2000. Since then it has been found at several other West Hungarian border localities: Acsád (Cikota Plantation), Apátistvánfalva, Felsőszölnök (Kakasdomb), Kondorfa (Nagyfernekág), Sopron (Muck) and Szentpéterfölde (SZABÓKY 2001). Phyllonorycter leucographella, a leafminer moth new to the Hungarian fauna, was first discovered by GYÖRGY CSÓKA in Sopron and Kőszeg, and later by KÁROLY VÍG in Szombathely (CSÓKA 1992). The occurrence of two leaf-blotch miners (Gracillariidae) in Vas County, P. blancardella and P. hybrida (P. blancardella x P. gerasimovi), can be found in the literature (SEPRŐS and BAKÓ 1989). The swarming of the common winter (Operophtera brumata) was studied in December 1987 with pheromone traps and marking restraints in the Sopron district in December 1987. The findFigure 12.10. ISTVÁN VÖRÖS (1894-1963), the schoolmaster of Egyházasrádóc, was an enthusiastic collector and authority on the Lepidoptera in his vicinity ings helped to make forecasts of infestation by the species more effective (AMBRUS and CSÓKA 1989 and 1992). Caterpillar damage to Hungarian oakwoods in 1961-93 was summarized by GYÖRGY CSÓKA (1994b). SZABOLCS SÁFIÁN mainly works on the moth and butterfly fauna of the Sopron Hills. In one recent study, he reviewed occurrences in Hungary of the extremely rare, protected species Odontosia carmelita, hitherto found only in the Kőszeg Hills and at Telkibánya and SarkadRemete near Sopron. The author collected another four specimens in the Sopron Hills (SÁFIÁN 2001). In another, he dealt with the population of the poplar admiral (Limenitis populi) in the Sopron Hills (SÁFIÁN 2002). His examinations show that the population here has been very low in recent years, probably because it is on the edge of its
