First wild capture of the Black Soldier Fly, Hermetia illucens (Linnaeus, 1758) (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) in Hungary

The first wild caught Hungarian specimen of the Black Soldier Fly, Hermetia illucens (Linnaeus, 1758) is reported from Zala county, close to the Croatian border. Another specimen is reported from the northwestern lowland region of Albania, constituting the second record from the country. The Hungarian specimen may either came as an escape from maggot farming insect factory, or as a natural immigrant due to climate change. A phoretic mite was found on the antenna of the Hungarian specimen

Further contribution to the earwig and termite (Insecta: Dermaptera et Isoptera) fauna of Albania and Macedonia

During two tours to Albania and Macedonia in October of 2013, five species of Dermaptera and one species of Isoptera were collected. Forficula decipiens Gené, 1832 and Kalotermes flavicollis (Fabricius, 1793) are new to the fauna of Albania. Besides enumeration of the faunistical data, notes on the Balkan distribution and ecology of the six species are also given

First record of the genus Atrichops Verrall, 1909 in Hungary (Diptera: Athericidae)

This paper reports on the first known larva of Atrichops crassipes (Meigen, 1820) from Hungary. The single specimen was caught with flushing of stones during a year-long monthly sampling in the Morgó Stream, Börzsöny Mts. Characterisation of the sampling site, list of the accompanying fauna and a figure on the habitus of the specimen are given

Larval data of Caliaeschna microstigma (Schneider, 1845) from the Balkan Peninsula, with contributions to its biology (Odonata: Aeshnidae)

Based on larvae or exuviae, we present 59 new localities of Caliaeschna microstigma from Albania (17), Bulgaria (6), Croatia (1), Greece (18), Macedonia (2), Montenegro (11), and from the European part of Turkey (4). Collecting sites are depicted on a map. Summary on the habitat and biology of the species is given, and morphological characters of the larvae are shown on several figures. Due to the different larval cohorts collected, we conclude that the species has semivoltine life cycle

First records of two insect orders (Embiidina et Isoptera) from Macedonia

During two tours taken to Macedonia (FYROM) in May and June of 2014, Haploembia solieri (Rambur, 1842) was collected at two, while Reticulitermes sp. at one lowland site in SE Macedonia. These are the first records of webspinners (Embiidina) and termites (Isoptera) from the country, and the more inland occurrences of these orders in the Balkans. Morphological features of the specimens and their habitats are presented on figures. Occurrence of the termitovore European blind snake, Xerotyphlops vermicularis (Merrem, 1820), is also noted from the locality where both webspinners and termites were found

Contribution to the Odonata fauna of Albania and Montenegro

Faunistical data of 37 Odonata species collected in Albania since 2007, and 20 species collected in Montenegro during the past ten years are enumerated. Selysiothemis nigra (Vander Linden, 1825) is new to the fauna of Albania. Notes and figures are given concerning the taxonomy, distribution, and ecology of 15 taxa
