Coleophora absinthii Wocke, 1877 is represented in the Hungarian Natural History Museum by only one voucher specimen from Hungary. The species was collected for the first time in 1952 from Hungary but, in spite of several publications reporting it as a frequent species, no specimen of C. absinthii has been deposited in the museum since its first record. We found the species between 2018 and 2020 in six new Hungarian localities. The tubular case, the case made of flowers, the adult, the genitalia and the distribution map of the species are presented.

Choerades castellanii (Hradský, 1962) is recorded from Hungary for the first time. This species was previously known only from Slovakia and Germany. Two specimens were identified from the Diptera Collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum and one specimen was caught while sitting on a pile of logs right outside the Bükk National Park. One of the museum specimens was caught close to the Croatian-Hungarian border, so the species can also be expected to be present in Croatia. With 5 figures.

The Hungarian fauna of the subfamily Hybrizontinae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) is revised based on the material of the Hymenoptera Collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest. Three species are proved to occur in Hungary: Hybrizon buccatus (Brebisson, 1825), Hybrizon pilialatus Tobias, 1988 and Ogkosoma cremieri (Romand, 1838). Hybrizon pilialatus and Ogkosoma cremieri are reported for the first time from Hungary. Collecting data to the species occurring in Hungary are given.

A revision of the Coleophora collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum three years ago revealed that identification of specimens treated as Coleophora salicorniae Heinemann et Wocke, 1877 was incorrect. The species is lacking from the collection. However, several papers mention C. salicorniae as present in Hungary. During the last two years this species was found in two new localities by the authors, compared to previous studies. Larva, case and adult of the species are illustrated, and image of habitat as well as the distribution map in Hungary are presented. With 5 figures.

Beginning with Hungarian expeditions to Korean peninsula in 1970, many Korean biological specimens have accumulat-ed in the collections of the Hungarian Natural History Museum. The collections have informative value to understand EastAsian biota. Here, North Korean Orthopterans are examined and checked; 73 species are listed and collecting data formore than 1,441 individuals is provided. A joint research project was accomplished in the year 2010 between the Hungar-ian Natural History Museum and the National Institute of Biological Resources. The project produced a total of 123 spec-imens of 26 North Korean Caeliferan species which are newly placed in the Entomological Collection of the NationalInstitute of Biological Resources. A transpalaearctic long-horned grasshopper Bicolorana bicolor (Philippi, 1830) is reported for the first time from North Korean fauna.

Dyscia innocentaria (Christoph, 1885) is reported from the Pannonian Region for the first time: altogether 16 specimens were found in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, collected in Deliblát (Deliblato Sands, Serbia) in 1895 and the 1910s by Hungarian lepidopterists. These are the oldest known D. innocentaria specimens from Serbia. With 7 figures.

Abstract Hieracium tomosense Simk., a mountain forest species known to date only from the Piatra Mare Mts in the Southern Carpathians, Romania, has been found in other parts of the Southern and Eastern Carpathians. This hybridogenous species of the morphological formula H. transylvanicum > H. murorum was incorrectly included by Zahn and Nyárády into H. transylvanicum Heuff. as a variety, thus sending H. tomosense into oblivion. A distribution map of H. tomosense is presented and its relation to H. praecurrens is discussed. The name H. tomosense is lectotypified by a specimen stored at the Hungarian Natural History Museum in Budapest (BP).

ABSTRACT: In spite of his many other interests, Edward Heron-Allen also worked for nearly 50 years as a scientist on minute shelled protists, called foraminifera, much of it in an unpaid, unofficial capacity at The Natural History Museum, London, and notably in collaboration with Arthur Earland. During this career he published more than 70 papers and obtained several fellowships, culminating in 1919 in his election to the Royal Society. Subsequently, he bequeathed his foraminiferal collections and fine library to the Museum, and both are housed today in a room named in his honour. In this paper, for the first time, an assessment of his scientific accomplishments is given, together with a full annotated bibliography of his publications held in the Heron-Allen Library. This is part of a project to produce a bibliography of his complete publications, recently initiated by the Heron-Allen Society.

This paper provides a comprehensive check list of Nolinae species recorded in Hong Kong, China based on the collections of the second author, Dr. Roger Kendrick and the Natural History Museum, London. The checklist comprises 30 species.  Two of them are new to science and described here as new species (Spininola kendricki sp. n., and Hampsonola ceciliae sp. n.). Misidentification of the female paratype of Spininola nepali László, Ronkay & Ronkay, 2014 is revealed and the true female of S. nepali is illustrated with its genitalia described here for the first time. The hitherto unknown female of S. armata László, Ronkay & Witt, 2010 is also illustrated here for the first time. All species recorded from Hong Kong are illustrated together with their genitalia on 54 colour and 46 black and white diagnostic figures.
