1 ANNALES HISTORTCO-NATURALES MUSEI NATIONALIS HUNGARICI Volume 90. Budapest, 1998 pp In memóriám Dr. Ferenc Mihályi ( ) L. PAPP Department of Zoology, Hungarian Natural History Museum H-]088 Budapest, Baross utca 13, Hungary FERENC MIHÁLYI was born on the 6th of October 1906 in Budapest, more precisely in Óbuda, the north-western part of a young metropolis, formerly an independent city, where the German more than the Hungarian language was used even at that time. His father was a licenced victualler. He had two brothers and a younger sister. All the four children were highly educated, three of them at the university level. He graduated from the "Toldy Ferenc Főreáliskola", a well known secondary school of Budapest, and after years of collecting butterflies, in 1924 he entered the Budapest University (Pázmány Péter, later Eötvös Loránd University), Faculty of Science and Arts at Budapest, for the branch of natural history and geography. He completed studies in 1928 and graduated in 1929 as a secondary school teacher. He also obtained a diploma of "doctor rerum naturalis" there in 1936 (majoring in zoology, his thesis on the flight muscles of the house fly was published in 1935, see below). Dr. FERENC MIHÁLYI at the age of 67

2 From 1928 to 1933 he served as an assistant for the Gipsy Moth Laboratory at Budapest, which was set up by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in order to get, identify and export the parasitoids (mainly tachinid flies) for the control of that pest, which had been introduced from Europe. There were summers when 300,000 to 400,000 caterpillars were reared in the laboratory. FERENC MIHÁLYI made all the rearings, packed the parasitoids (pupae, etc.) and kept the files of data. There are several species which were successfully introduced into the USA for the biological control of gipsy moth as a result of that campaign. Unfortunately only a rather small part of the results was published. His masters, Drs P. B. DOWDEN and W. F. SELLERS made detailed yearly reports, but only some data were published in one or two papers. However, as he said repeatedly, in addition to a safe job and good salary, that job provided him a good possibility to learn laboratory methods and much in ecology. His six years with the Gipsy Moth Laboratory was a turning point in his life. He took very much interest also in graphics and music (as for the latter, since his childhood), but those were the years when he decided to work lifelong as a scientist. His good abilities in graphics were highly profitable later, when he produced most of the illustrations for his papers and books. Those were the years of a long and deep economic crisis in Hungary. His experience with insects should have qualified him for a number of jobs; contrarily, he did not get one. The Council of the Hungarian Jobless Graduates (Állástalan Diplomások Országos Bizottsága) nominated him for a position in the Department of Zoology of the Hungarian National Museum. That working place was in the Hungarian Biological Research Institute (Magyar Biológiai Kutatóintézet) at Tihany (Central West Hungary), whose Department of Hydrobiology was attached to the Zoological Department (HNM) at that time. He worked there for three years ( ). He studied the anatomy and histology of insects and also the subject of his doctoral thesis was the microscopical structure of the flight organs of the house fly. His first scientific papers were published in those years. In the meantime, the Institute was reorganized. He was on the horns of a dilemma: should he remain on the staff of the Zoological Department of the HNM, and if so, he return to Budapest, or should he join the body of the Hungarian Biological Research Institute, and stay henceforward in Tihany. Having had a family by that time with a flat in Tihany, he remained with the site and not with the institution. However, in 1936 he returned to Budapest (the reasons are not clear to me), where a job was offered to him in the National Public Health Institute in their Department of Parasitology. That Department was headed by FERENC LŐRINCZ, one of the classical authorities of Hungarian parasitology. They needed a dipterologist for their two projects: in the control of malaria {Plasmodium vivax malaria was endemic at Hungary in that time), and in the war against enteric (typhoid) fever. FERENC MIHÁLYI studied the vector mosquitoes (at that time they were named as "the varieties" of Anopheles maculipennis), their morphology, habits, and also the prevalence of malaria nationwide. He set up the first malaria study site at Letenye (SW Hungary). His other theme was a basic study of enteric (typhoid) fever, with particular emphasis on the dipterous vectors of its causative agents. He studied species composition and abundance of those muscoid flies which had been named as "synanthropic flies" even earlier.

3 FERENC MIHÁLYI was exceptionally successful in both themes. The papers published partly alone, partly in co-authorship belong to the classical papers in these fields of dipterology. This is why I think that it is not necessary to mention their merits also here. Now we simply cannot understand why he did not get a permanent job in the National Public Health Institute (he was their employee between 1936 and 1938). Finally, in 1939 he got a job in the Beregszász State Secondary School (now Beregovo, Ukraine) as a deputy master. As a secondary job, he was employed at the local Malaria Station. He became well known to the local people as the "mosquito teacher". In his lime left free of teaching commitments, particularly so in summer, he surveyed the breeding sites of mosquitoes and studied blood samples of malaria patients in Beregszász and in its environs. The rate of infestation was much reduced after those two years he spent there. In 1941 he got a permanent job in the State Secondary School at Újpest (at that time an independent city, now a big suburb of Budapest) and also a secondary job in the Department of Parasitology, National Public Health Institute. In his latter capacity, he wrote the first Hungarian book about the role of insects as vectors of diseases ("Rovarok és betegségek") co-authored by GYÖRGY M AKAR A. The book was published in 1944 (but printed as "1943"). He surveyed also the breeding sites of mosquitoes in the environs of Budapest. Unfortunately, the tuberculosis infection that he carried from his birthplace, for which he was being treated permanently with more or less success, seized upon him in those years, in all probability as a consequence of all the loud talk in the classrooms. He spent a whole year in a T. B. sanatorium. After a false recovery, he returned to his secondary school to teach, and also to help rebuild the school after the Second World War. He taught kids and also older people in the evening classes. He was a fanatic teacher, and a very good teacher in biology, geography and also in chemistry. But he had to pay a very stiff price for this passion. He had a relapse in T.B. that time an almost fatal one. He spent another year in a T. B. sanatorium, but fortunately, the compound para-amino-salicylic acid, invented at that time, provided him a complete and permanent recovery. He lost two lobes of his lungs through surgery, however, as he spent much time in nature in the following years, and lived such a disciplined life until his death, he was able to get rid of most of the consequences of that terrible disease. However, he had to give up teaching forever. He got a notice from the Ministry of Education to present an application for retirement. He was 43 at that time. Fortunately, with the aid of the local trade union, he managed to get a transfer to the Department Zoology of the Hungarian Natural History Museum in There his first task was to make order in the Collection of Fishes, which was in a mess and covered by dirt as a consequence of the devastation caused by war (and of the former poor curatorial work). It took him a year to clean the specimens and to make order required for scientific studies in such a collection. Later he re-identified all the collection, made additional collectings in Hungary for fishes, but he was also allowed to continue his studies on mosquitoes. In the years of he was the leading personality of the team, which was set up by the Zoological Department, HNHM, and by the National Public Health Institute, in

4 order to study mosquito problems around Lake Balaton. The field work was mainly done by ÁRPÁD SOÓS and FERENC MIHÁLYI. Their work was rich in results, and later study sites were extended to the Danube inundation areas and also to other parts of Hungary. On the 10th of June 1952 ÁRPÁD SOÓS was generous enough to offer him a change of position to the Collection of Diptera (from that time ÁRPÁD SOÓS was the curator of the Collection of Rhynchota). The Collection of Diptera was founded and curated from 1896 to his death in 1922 by KÁLMÁN KERTÉSZ, one of the founders of Hungarian entomology (and also its Society). The collection he left to the followers was large and invaluable (c. 250,000 specimens with c. 5,000 primary types; the former estimate must be a good one, the latter is much questionable). Unfortunately, his successor, ZOLTÁN Szi- LÁDY performed poorly as a curator (officially from 1923 to 1936), and so KERTÉSZ'S collection agonized slowly and got covered with dust. ÁRPÁD SOÓS took over the curatorship around 1940 (he was an unpaid assistant in the Zoological Department between 1936 and 1940, but he worked mainly in the Department of General Zoology of the Budapest Un versify, where he was an unpaid assistant between 1935 and 1939). SOUS made the collection clean and set up all the named material into a fine museum order until about It was ÁRPÁD SOÓS who managed to get and transfer the remains of the collection of JÁNOS THALHAMMER into the Hungarian Natural History Museum. FERENC MIHÁLYI embarked on various scientific activities in the Collection of Diptera with much enthusiasm, particularly for the culicids and the species of Syrphidae in Hungary. He published the booklet for Culicidae in the series of Fauna Hungáriáé in He gained the scientific degree "Candidate of Science" from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 1955 for his thesis about the culicid mosquitoes of Hungary. In the days after the 4th of November 1956, the Soviet artillery cannonaded Budapest almost without any concrete aiming but to punish that wicked city. That was why also the building of the Zoological Department was hit by several shells, although there were no Hungarian fighters in or around. The building caught fire, including the collections in alcohol and it was burning for days. Among all the large and invaluable collections, four-fifth of the Collection of Diptera and all its library were annihilated. The years after the big fire were the time of a heroic struggle for FERENC MIHÁLYI to rebuild the collection. He and his assistant worked day and night collecting, selecting and mounting flies in all parts of the country. Other workers of the Zoological Department collected also flies in remarkable numbers; the donations the Department got from abroad were not high in numbers but vitally important as named materials for comparison. Although such a work to collect flies, to select them into families, etc. cannot be profitable in terms of writing of scientific papers, not much later he began to make good scientific papers and books. In 1963 the summary of his great work on Hungarian culicids was published in a fine book (co-authored by M. SZTANKAY-GULYÁS), he collected, reared and published also on fruit flies (Tephritidae). Later he studied the synanthropic flies intensively again. He made intensive collectings in and he presented his thesis "Magyarország szinantrop légyfaunájának taxonómiai és ökológiai vizsgálata" [Taxonomical and ecological investigations on the synanthropic dipterous fauna of Hun-

5 gary.j in He got the degree of "Doctor of Biological Science" from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in He published the general introduction to the Diptera volumes in the Fauna Hungáriáé in He identified thousands of the calyptrate flies and set up large collections for the Carpathian Basin, beginning with the families Fanniidae and Muscidae. He published the identification book for them in He retired for a pension by the end of His most productive period of scientific work was the next 12 years in retirement, when he continued working on the calyptrate flies. He identified the material of Calliphoridae and Sarcophagidae, later that of the Tachinidae in the collection of the Department of Zoology. The identification books were published in 1979 and 1986 with nearly 1000 of his original figures. In the meantime he also published papers on Diptera taxonomy, describing new taxa, identified and published extensive materials collected in the Hungarian national parks. Unfortunately, his eyesight became much worse (amblyopia), partly as a consequence of working on figures. However, he kept social contact with the dipterists and other workers in the Department of Zoology. He participated in the First and Second International Congresses of Dipterology (Budapest 1986 and Bratislava 1990). In addition to his scientific activities, he was the editor of our Annales historiconaturales Musei nationales hungarici from 1963 to He made an excellent work as editor, bettering numerous papers year by year. He was active in many professional societies: Zoological Section of the Hungarian Biological Society (member from 1953, secretary from 1954 to 1957), Hungarian Society of Parasitologists and his most beloved Hungarian Entomological Society. In 1974 he was awarded the Gold Medal of the "Frivaldszky Memorial Plaquette" (he was a member of the Society for 47 years and a member of its Board for decades). He passed away on the 26th of January He was survived by his daughter and son, five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
