Abstract:  This is the first catalogue of Microlepidoptera in the Mecsek Mts. This Hungarian mountain range has a somewhat Mediterranean climate. Data on the presence and distribution of 879 species are given. Data in earlier publications are critically examined. The presence of species placed in square brackets requires confirmation. The families involved are characterized in detail. Special comments are made on Tosirips magyarus (Tortricidae) and Capperia fusca (Pterophoridae), which are new to Hungary.

 Horváth Gy. & Dudás R. (2007): Kisemlős faunisztikai adatok a Mecsek hegység menti települések bagolyköpet mintáinak vizsgálata alapján.  Small mammal faunistic data based on barn owl pellet samples from villages along Mecsek Mountains (SW Hungary). - Acta Naturalia Pannonica 2: 207-221.

Abstract: Small mammal monitoring relying on barn owl pellet analysis performed between 1985–2006 in Baranya county included villages in the Mecsek region too. Collectings in this target area yielded pellet material from altogether 15 sampling sites. Based on the analysis of 1040 pellets from 48 samples, 3662 specimens were identified, belonging to a total of 18 small mammal species.
