Abstract

In this paper we report two new records of the rare limnephilid species Potamophylax rotundipennis (Brauer, 1857) from the Balkan peninsula, more precisely from the republic of Kosovo. the first sampling station is located around the spring area of the only stream inside Blinajë hunting reserve in central Kosovo, and the second one in the middle section of the turuqicë tributary of the Llap river in northern Kosovo. from Blinajë hunting reserve we also report stenophylax permistus McLachlan, 1895 for the first time from the republic of Kosovo.
