Abstract: Faunistic lists of four different surveys made during seven decades on the aquatic and semiaquatic bugs (Heteroptera: Nepomorpha and Gerromorpha) of Lake Balaton are given. All the authors provided presence-absence data. Present authors conducted monitoring between 1984-1986 and 1998-2004, and give a typization of the characteristic habitats around the shallow lake. As for the data of the 1998-2002 collectings, frequency of species occurrence is given, as well as considerations on the efficacy of such samplings. Micronecta griseola HORVÁTH, 1899, once frequent in the lake, was again collected after 70 years of "absence". With 3 figures and 2 tables.
