Under the assumption of the Selberg conjecture I establish by means of the Selberg trace formula the following:

Theorem. Let Γ denote Γ(q) or Γ0(q), q square-free. Let Δq denote the Laplace operator on L2(Γ\H), and let Σq denote its discrete spectrum. Then there exists an absolute positive constant A such that for q≧A
