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

Phylum Mollusca 71 (1999) along with occurrence data for the mayfly Eurylophella karelica. An account of the location data for a water bug, Aphelochirus aestivalis, included information on occurrences in Western Hungary of some mollusc species (Ancylus fluviatilis, Fagotia acicularis, Amphimelania holandri, Theodoxus danubialis, T. transversalis

—AMBRUS et al. 1995b). KÁROLY VÍG, ANDRÁS VARGA and DIANNA VADÁSZ (VÍG et al. 2002) recently catalogued the Mollusca collection at the Savaria Museum in Szombathely. This contains 134 snail species and the shells of 14 species, with a further 8 items identifiable only at genus level. The earliest pieces are 13 items that survive from the collection of REZSŐ SZÉP. Unfortunately, none of these are accompanied by collecting data. Similar importance to the history of collecting attaches to 21 inventory items from the bequest of VILMOS PIERS, where the collecting data are again regrettably absent. A valuable part of the museum collection consists of pieces surviving from the collection of ALADÁR VISNYA. The collection was first revised by ANDOR RICHNOVSZKY and GYULA KOVÁCS, who identified 73 species among a collection numbering 1302 pieces. They assume that about half the original collection may have gone astray from Kőszeg Museum in the years after the Second World War (KOVÁCS and RICHNOVSZKY 1975).
