Abstract - Four species of Microlepidoptera, Adela associatella (ZELLER, 1839), Ypsolopha leuconotella (SNELLEN, 1884), Chrysoesthia verrucosa TOKÁR, 1999, Eucosma tripoliana (BARRETT, 1880) and one species of Noctuidae, Hypoepa fractalis GUENÉE, 1854 are re­ corded as new to the fauna of Hungary. With 3 figures.

Key words - Microlepidoptera, Noctuidae, Hungary, new records.

Adela associatella (ZELLER, 1839) (Adelidae)- A new record of the species for Hun­ gary. It is known from mountainous conifer forests of a number of European countries (European part of , , , , , , Italy, Swit­ zerland, , Albania. Romania). KOZLOV (2004) assigned this species to the Nemophora HOFFMANNSEGG, 1798. The larva lives in spun needles of conifers. Adults of the species belonging to Adelidae fly during the day, but specimens of some species e. g. Adela degeerella (LINNAEUS, 1758) may appear at artificial light sources. The light trap that captured six specimens was operated in the vicinity of conifer trees. Data of the specimens in the author's collection: Sopron, Erdészeti és Faipari Egyetem botanikus kertje [= Botan­ ical Garden of the University of West Hungary], light trap, 20.VI.2006, leg. Sz. SÁFIÁN. Its proposed Hungarian name: lucfenyő-törösmoly.

Ypsolopha leuconotella (SNELLEN, 1884) (Ypsolophidae) (Fig. 1) - A new record of the species to the Hungarian fauna, and should be inserted before Ypsolopha chazariella (MANN, 1866) in the Hungarian checklist (SZABÓKY et al. 2002). It is known to occur in Slovakia and Romania. One specimen was found on an illuminated white sheet placed in a beech forest, along with other microlepidopterans that were recorded from Hungary in the last 15 years (Phalonidia gilvicomana (ZELLER, 1847)), nigralbella (ZELLER, 1839), Blastobasis huemeri (SiNEV, 1993). Its larva and host plant are unknown. Data of the specimen in the the author's collection: Bélapátfalva: Bél-kő, 22.VIII.2007, leg. Cs. SZABÓKY. Its proposed Hungarian name: fehérfejű tarkamoly.

Figs 1-3. 1 = Ypsolopha leuconotella (SNELLEN, 1884), 2 = Eucosma tripoliana (BARRETT, 1880), 3 = Hypoepa fractalis GUENÉE, 1854 Chrysoesthia verrucosa TOKÁR, 1999 (Gelechiidae) - A new record of the species to the Hungarian fauna, and should be inserted between Ch. eppelsheimi (STAUDINGER, 1885) and Ch. sexguttella (THUNBERG, 1794) in the Hungarian checklist (SZABÓKY et al. 2002). It is known to occur in , Austria and Slovakia, mainly between 400 and 900 m above sea level (ELSNER et ai. 1999). Its larva and host plant are unknown. Data of the specimen in the collection of FERENC BUSCHMANN (Jászberény): Jászberény: Új-erdő, 21.V.2007, leg. F. BUSCHMANN. Its proposed Hungarian name: szemölcsös sarlósmoly.

Eucosma tripoliana (BARRETT, 1880) (Tortricidae) (Fig. 2) - The species name was marked with asterisk in the Hungarian checklist (SZABÓKY et al. 2002), that is, its oc­ currence in Hungary requires confirmation. The species was found on the Naszály Hill. Its host plant is Aster amellus which is abundant on the southern slopes of the Naszály (BALÁZS PINTÉR, personal comminucation). Data of the specimens in the the author's col­ lection: Vác, Naszály, Gombási agyagbánya [= clay pit], 19.VIII.2007 (3 specimens), 21.VIII.2007 (9 specimens) and Sejcei kőbánya [= limestone quarry], 12.VIII.2007, leg. Cs. SZABÓKY. Its Hungarian name: sziki tükrösmoly.

Hypoepafractalis GUENÉE, 1854 (Noctuidae) (Fig. 3) - A new record of the species to the Hungarian fauna, and probably the first record in Europe. The specimens were found in a glasshouse, and pupal skins were found at the base of Tillandsia bromeliads imported from the Nethetlands. Identification was made from ESAKI et al. (1975). It is widely dis­ tributed from India to Japan, and is known to occur in Africa as well. Its larva feeds on withering leaves in the tropical and subtropical regions. The adults are on the wing from May to October. Data of the specimens in the the author's collection: Érd, 12.X.2007, leg. Á. SzÉNÁSI (2 specimens), 22.X.2007 (leg. Cs. SZABÓKY & Á. SzÉNÁSi), 27.X.2007 (leg. CS. SZABÓKY & A. PÁL), 17.XI.2007 (leg. Cs. SZABÓKY & A. TAKÁCS). Its Hungarian name: zegzugos karcsúbagoly.
