Abstract

Black flies (Simuliidae) were collected during 2007 and 2008 at three tufa barriers at Plitvice Lakes National Park using pyramid-type emergence traps. In all, nine species were recorded, all belonging to the genus Simulium, and of which Simulium (Eusimulium) angustipes Edwards, 1915; Simulium (Obuchovia) auricoma Meigen, 1818; Simulium (Nevermannia) costatum Friederichs, 1920; Simulium (Simulium) trifasciatum Curtis, 1839; and Simulium (Simulium) variegatum Meigen, 1818 were recorded for the first time in Croatia. The most abundant species was Simulium (Eusimulium) angustipes, followed by Simulium (Nevermannia) costatum.
