Abstract: The occurrence of Gortyna borelii ssp. lunata (Freyer) was rediscovered in the Jászság region (Central Hungary) after its disappearance of twenty years. The moth inhabits various isolated forest clearings and marshy meadows where the larval host Peucedanum spp. form stands. The chain of the scattered habitats inhabiting by G. borelii lunata is the remnant of the formerly more widely distributedriparian ecosystem, which is now seriously threatened all over Europe as well as in Hungary. The last Hungarian record of Heterocera cappa (Hübner) originates from the late sixties. One specimen was taken in Central Hungary, which represents the phenomenon known amongst Hungarian entomologist that certain type of species, formerly common and widespread in the country but disappeared in the last two decades, very recently extends their range northwards and westwards recolonizing Pannónia. The noctuid moth Dioszeghyana schmidti (Diószeghy), typical species of the plant community Quercetum pubescenti-roboris, was recorded in the middle of a vast open steppe.Journal: Folia entomologica hungaricaJournal abbreviation: Folia ent. hung.ISSN: 0373-9465Publisher: , Editor(s): Mahunka, S.
