This is a simple list of Cassidini species housed in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, without literature references. Types are highlighted with red.  The real status of the types was not studied, but it is almost certain that most of the "holotypes" and "paratypes" of Reitter and other old authors are actually syntypes. The list is based on the catalogue of Lech Borowiec. The specimens were identified mostly by L. Borowiec, F. Spaeth and L. Sekerka.

HT = holotype, PT = paratype, LT = lectotype, PLT = paralectotype,
