Etymology. The species is named in honour of István Báthori (Stefan Batory) (1533–1586), ruling prince of Transylvania (1571–1575), and later eminent king of Poland (reigned: 1575–1586). He is a strong historic link between Hungary and Poland. The specific name symbolizes the friendship between the two nations.

Differential diagnosis. The new species resembles Lorryia elinguis (Kuznetzov) collected from Cornus mas in Crimea (Kuznetzov & Livshitz 1973), although is slightly larger. Lorryia bathorii sp. nov. has three setal types: spindle-like, rod-like and club-like (gradually broadened distally, blunt), whereas Lorryia elinguis has two kinds of setae: spindle-like (sharp) and rod-like (equally broad and rounded distally). Differences between these two species are provided in Table 5 .

Description. MALE (holotype). Organotaxy typical for genus (Kaźmierski 1989b). Idiosoma. Body oval, yellowish. Length 230, width 160 (225–230/ 155–160 in 5 male paratypes).

Bothridial setae (bo) relatively long, whip-like and smooth.

Lorryia ocellata (Kuznetzov, 1972)

This species was described by Kuznetzov (1972a) on the basis of a single holotype female collected from Hibiscus syriacus in Nikitsky Botanical Garden, Crimea. It is characterized by the ornamentation type “ Paralorryia ”, the striation with rectangular tubercles, the acute dorsal body setae with relatively strong, but sparsely distributed serrations, and by the presence of the lens-like pattern between setae la and ex.

In Hungary, L. ocellata was found in eight localities and on eight host-plants, which are given below. In the case of first three localities, the specimens were previously determined as Lorryia cf. woolleyi sp. n. I (Ripka & Kaźmierski 1998 a, page 409). The remaining ones were recorded under their proper name (L. ocellata) (Ripka et al. 2002, page 273).
