Abstract

Adult caddisflies were collected with entomological nets and ultraviolet light traps during August and September 2018 in Leqinat Lake, Drelaj Lake and five adjacent streams in Bjeshkët e Nemuna in Kosovo. Within the current study we found three first records for the caddisfly fauna of Kosovo: Limnephilus flavospinosus, Limnephilus flavicornis and Oligotricha striata. The genus Oligotricha is reported for the first time from Kosovo. We also found few rare species which have been reported only from few localities in the Balkan Peninsula such as: Plectrocnemia mojkovacensis, Rhyacophila balcanica and Drusus tenellus.
