In this study, scale insect (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha) specimens extracted from Hun- garian Natural History Museum soil samples (2970 samples in total), all of which were collected using soil and litter sampling devices, and extracted by Berlese funnel, were examined. From these samples, 43 scale insect species (Acanthococcidae 4, Coccidae 2, Micrococcidae 1, Ortheziidae 7, Pseudococcidae 21, Putoidae 1 and Rhizoecidae 7) were found in 16 European countries.

JÁNOS OLÁH & TIBOR KOVÁCS ABSTRACT: We report 113 caddisfly species from Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Slovenia. Ten new species are described: Wormaldia busa Oláh sp. n., W. daga Oláh sp. n., W. graeca Oláh sp. n., W. homora Oláh sp. n., Tinodes karpathos Oláh sp. n., Hydropsyche sarnas Oláh sp. n., Annitella jablanicensis Oláh sp. n., Allogamus zugor Oláh sp. n., Potamophylax alsos Oláh sp. n., and Beraea gurba Oláh sp. n. Two unknown females are described: Potamophylax kesken Oláh, 2012, and P. tagas Oláh et Kovács, 2012. The Potamophylax tagas species cluster is revised by fine structure analysis of the cluster divergence, including cluster history, probable speciation, divergence between sibling pairs, as well as gonopod, paramer, aedeagus, and vaginal sclerite divergences. Introduction Data and information on the Balkan Trichoptera, especially from Albania, Macedonia Monte- negro and Serbia is still very limited in spite of the very high diversity in these countries. High elevation habitats in several mountain ranges are significant endemic hotspots. Our annual field work, although very limited, is producing every year new distributional data and new species (OLÁH 2010, 2011; OLÁH & KOVÁCS 2012a,b, 2013; OLÁH et al. 2012, 2013a,b, 2014). Both spring and autumnal collecting trips were financed by The Sakertour Eastern Europe, the Birdwatching and Hide Photography Company of the Carpathian Basin and Danube Delta. We have applied the collecting, processing, clearing, cleaning and drawing methods described by OLÁH (2011).
