Introduction This study presents a list of 46 new micro-moths species recorded from the area around Dombóvár–Gunaras. We published our first study in 2010 (FAZEKAS & SCHREURS 2010), and included a list of 436 species of micro-moth recorded from the Dombóvár area. Dombóvár is in SW Hungary, 30 km from Kaposvár (Somogy County) and 50 km from Pécs (Baranya County). Many of the species recorded so far in the Transdanubian Hills are known in only one or two localities, so the new data are useful additions to our knowledge of the distribution of species in Hungary. The account is based on material collected mainly by Arnold Schreurs (NL-Kerkade) and by Imre Fazekas (H-Komló, Regiograf Institute). The arrangement of the species is based on the classification still followed in Hungarian literature (FAZEKAS 2002, 2008; FAZEKAS & SCHREURS 2010; PASTORÁL I S 2011). 190 NATURA SOMOGY I ENS I S Fig. 1: Study area in Dombóvár, with landscape regions in Hungary (lt= light trap) Material and Methods The moths were sampled using light trap and hand collecting. The collected specimens by the second author are preserved in his collection. A Breukhoven stereo microscope type BMS (140 Bino Zoom) was used for the investigations of the adult and genital FAZEKAS , I. & SCHREURS , A.: DATA TO THE KNOWLEDGE O F M I CRO -MOTHS 191 slides were made. The photographs and drawings of the genitalia were made with an Olympus microscope with a drawing tube and BMS digital camera (type: Eyepiece & C-mount camera 3 megapixels). Terminology for the morphological structures follows the references. If not stated otherwise, measurements of the forewing include the fringe. The photographs of the adults were made with an Sony camera type DSC-HX100V. The microscopic investigations and photographs were made by Imre Fazekas. Some photos were made by Frans Groenen (e. g. Fig. 4.). New and confirmed records for the Dombóvár area (The species are listed alphabetically within the family.
