This is a simple list of Trixagidae species housed in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, without literature references. The real status of the types was not studied, but it is almost certain that most of the "holotypes" and "paratypes" ascribed to Reitter and other autors before 1950 are actually syntypes.

HT = holotype, PT = paratype, LT = lectotype, PLT = paralectotype, MT = "monotype" AT = allotype, CT = cotype
