New records for the caddisfly (Insecta: Trichoptera) fauna of Montenegro

Abstract

Adult caddisflies were collected sporadically in the Ulqin Municipality and Çakorr Mountains in
Montenegro during 2015 and 2016. Six species found during this investigation are first records for the
caddisfly fauna of Montenegro: Hydroptila sparsa Curtis, 1834, Hydropsyche modesta Navàs, 1925,
Hydropsyche siltalai Doehler, 1963, Neureclipsis bimaculata (Linnaeus, 1758), Setodes punctatus
(Fabricius, 1793) and Ernodes skipetarum Malicky, 1986.
This study shows that this area is still poorly investigated and thus, more records are expected.
