Abstract In this paper we describe Potamophylax qafshtamaensis sp. n., a new species of the Potamophylax winneguthi species group, from Qafështamë National Park in Albania. The new species belongs to the Potamophylax tagas species cluster and is most close to Potamophylax hajlos Oláh, 2012 and Potamophylax alsos Oláh, 2014. Potamophylax qafshtamaensis sp. n. differs from all known species of the P. tagas species cluster by its unique shape of aedeagus. It also differs from its most similar congeners mainly in exhibiting differently shaped inferior appendages and parameres in males, as well as setose sternite IX and the dorsal unsetose plate of the anal tube in female. The new species is microendemic of Qafështamë National Park and is the fifth known species of the Potamophylax tagas species cluster, which is distributed in Albania and Macedonia. Key words: Potamophylax tagas species complex; rare species; endemic species; Balkan Peninsula. Introduction The genus Potamophylax Wallengren, 1891 with more than 40 currently described taxa is mainly distributed in Europe, with Iberian Peninsula, Balkan Peninsula and Apennines as the main speciation areas (Ibrahimi et al. 2021; Martinez et al. 2016; Mey 1979; Oláh et al. 2013; Oláh & Kovács, 2014). Only few taxa, and most of them widely distributed in Europe, are present in nearby Asia, mostly in areas adjacent to Europe. Potamophylax excisus Martinov, 1926 and Potamophylax luctuosus armeniacus Mey, 1979 are the only taxa endemic to Asia, more precisely to Caucasus. During 2012, three new species of the Potamophylax winneguthi species group were described, all of them from Albania: Potamophylax hajlos from Dajt mountains and surrounding southern area, and Potamophylax kesken Oláh, 2012 and Potamophylax tagas Oláh and Kovács, 2012 from the Korab mountains. During 2014 the fourth species of this species cluster, Potamophylax alsos, was described from Jabllanicë Mountains in North Macedonia (Oláh & Kovács 2012, 2014). They were grouped in a new Ecologica Montenegrina, 42, 2021, 85-95 NEW SPECIES OF POTAMOPHYLAX FROM ALBANIA Potamophylax tagas species cluster, differing from other species of the Potamophylax winneguthi group mainly by their rounded apex of inferior appendages and without any other projection. During 2016 we sampled in Qafështamë National Park in central Albania, a population of the Potamophylax tagas species complex, which although resembles the already described species in some characteristics, it couldn’t be placed in any of them, due to the clear differences in the genitalia of males and female. This initiated a detailed analysis of populations of all known species, which made clear that the population from Qafështamë National Park represents a distinct species. Thus, the goal of this paper is to describe this new species of the Potamophylax tagas species complex and discuss morphological and ecological features of this complex. Material and Methods We collected adult caddisflies with entomological nets and handpicking from the riparian vegetation near the stream. Specimens were stored directly in 80% ethanol. Specimens of the new species were collected in the Qafështamë National Park in Krujë Municipality. Qafështamë National Park, with an area of 2000 hectares resides on the eastern side of Kruja town, about 25 kilometers from the town. The park was proclaimed on 1996 and majority of its territory is a forested area. The collected material is deposited at the Department of Biology, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Prishtina “Hasan Prishtina”, Prishtinë, Republic of Kosovo. In addition, for comparative assessments of morphological features of Potamophylax qafshtamaensis sp. n. we used specimens of Potamophylax alsos, Potamophylax hajlos, Potamophylax kesken, Potamophylax tagas, Potamophylax coronavirus Ibrahimi, Bilalli and Vitecek, 2021, Potamophylax juliani Kumanski, 1999 and Potamophylax winneguthi Klapalek, 1902. For the species without any specimen available, a comparative assessment was done based on literature (Malicky 2004; Oláh & Kovács 2012). Morphological characteristics of male genitalia of the new species were examined in cleared specimens. Nomenclature of male terminalia follows Nielsen (1957), for Limnephilus flavicornis (Fabricius, 1787) and Kumanski and Malicky (1999). Morphological features of genitalia of Potamophylax qafshtamaensis sp. n. were analyzed from 14 male specimens and 1 female specimen. Illustrations were prepared in Adobe Illustrator (version Creative Cloud 2018), by digitizing pencil templates made with a camera lucida. Results Potamophylax qafshtamaensis sp. n.

Holotype. 1 male: Republic of Albania, streamlet in Qafështamë National Park, road towards Burrel town, 41.52460 N, 19.90124 E, 1167 m, 22.11.2016, leg. Halil Ibrahimi and Astrit Bilalli. Paratypes (13 males): same collection and locality data as holotype. Allotype (1 female): same collection and locality data as holotype. Diagnosis. The new species belongs to the Potamophylax tagas species cluster and is most close to P. hajlos and P. alsos. The new species differs from its most similar congeners mainly in exhibiting: 1) unique shape of aedeagus, easily distinguishable from all known species of the Potamophylax tagas species cluster, which is elongated oval in its upper part, narrowing at the middle and then widening on the remaining length, with strongly sclerotized and differently colored lateral stripes in ventral view, which have even darker and sharply acuminate apex; in P. hajlos aedeagus is quadrangularly shaped throughout its length, with straight lateral margins in ventral view, differently colored lateral stripes in ventral view are present mostly at distal third and without strongly acuminate apex; in P. alsos aedeagus has concave lateral margins in ventral view, differently colored lateral stripes in ventral view are present throughout the entire length of the aedeagus, but without strongly acuminate apex; 2) unique shape and size of the tips of aedeagus, which are narrow and triangularly shaped, with pointed apex and very wide base, narrowest in the whole Potamophylax tagas 86 IBRAHIMI & BILALLI species cluster and Potamophylax winneguthi group; in P. hajlos and P. alsos tips of aedeagus are uniformly roughly quadrangularly shaped with rounded apex; 3) apicomesal excision on the aedeagus wide U – shaped; in P. hajlos the apicomesal excision of the aedeagus is narrower; 4) tips of parameres with 3 spines, 1 very long, 1 shorter (originating at the subapex part, and the third one very short); in P. hajlos tips of parameres are with two long and two short spines; in P. alsos tips of parameres armed with three spines of almost equal size; 5) the ventral margin of inferior appendages in the new species is curved at an angle in its distal part, without downward outgrow; in P. hajlos the ventral margin of inferior appendages is curved at an angle in its distal part, with a downward outgrow; in P. alsos ventral margin of inferior appendages is almost straight, or slightly concavely curved, directed upwards; 6) setose sternite IX in female of the new species is rounded in lateral view; in P. hajlos it is rounded triangular; in P. alsos it is rounded quadrangular; 7) the dorsal unsetose plate of the anal tube of the new species has very narrow apical margin and almost three times wider base; in P. hajlos and P. alsos it is quandrangularly shaped, almost uniformly broad.

  • (Trichoptera: Limnephilidae) in Western North America By
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Robert W. Wisseman for the degree of Master ofScience in Entomology presented on August 6, 1987 Title: Biology and Distribution of the Dicosmoecinae (Trichoptera: Limnsphilidae) in Western North America Redacted for privacy Abstract approved: N. H. Anderson Literature and museum records have been reviewed to provide a summary on the distribution, habitat associations and biology of six western North American Dicosmoecinae genera and the single eastern North American genus, Ironoquia. Results of this survey are presented and discussed for Allocosmoecus,Amphicosmoecus and Ecclisomvia. Field studies were conducted in western Oregon on the life-histories of four species, Dicosmoecusatripes, D. failvipes, Onocosmoecus unicolor andEcclisocosmoecus scvlla. Although there are similarities between generain the general habitat requirements, the differences or variability is such that we cannot generalize to a "typical" dicosmoecine life-history strategy. A common thread for the subfamily is the association with cool, montane streams. However, within this stream category habitat associations range from semi-aquatic, through first-order specialists, to river inhabitants. In feeding habits most species are omnivorous, but they range from being primarilydetritivorous to algal grazers. The seasonal occurrence of the various life stages and voltinism patterns are also variable. Larvae show inter- and intraspecificsegregation in the utilization of food resources and microhabitatsin streams. Larval life-history patterns appear to be closely linked to seasonal regimes in stream discharge. A functional role for the various types of case architecture seen between and within species is examined. Manipulation of case architecture appears to enable efficient utilization of a changing seasonal pattern of microhabitats and food resources.

They are distributed unevenly; with the greatest number and density occurring in the Oriental Biogeographic Region and the smallest in the East Palearctic. Ecosystem services provided by Trichoptera are also very diverse and include their essential roles in food webs, in biological monitoring of water quality, as food for fish and other predators (many of which are of human concern), and as engineers that stabilize gravel bed sediment. They are especially important in capturing and using a wide variety of nutrients in many forms, transforming them for use by other organisms in freshwaters and surrounding riparian areas.

    FOLIA ENTOMOLOGICA HUNGARICA ROVARTANI KÖZLEMÉNYEK Volume 78 2017 pp. 111–255 Trichoptera endemic in the Carpathian Basin and the adjacent areas János Oláh H-4032 Debrecen, Tarján u. 28, Hungary. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract – Original text of taxonomic diagnosis and data of type specimens are collected and cited for each Trichoptera species endemic or subendemic in and around the Carpathian Basin, together with taxonomic history of relevant changes in nomeclature. Th e total number of the described cad- disfl y species endemic in or around the Carpathian Basin is 263. By describing 78 new incipient phylogenetic sibling species a surprisingly high ratio of unknown caddisfl y diversity were detected during only a few years and with only moderate collecting eff ort. Th is clearly indicates the highly depressed state of the western contemporary taxonomy. Th e recently diverged taxa are products of Pleistocene speciation process during isolated integration in crenon/epicrenon habitats on sky islands of high mountain ranges. Rhyacophila (32 species) and Drusus (62 species) genera and the Chaetopterygini (56 species) and Stenophylacini (42 species) tribes are the groups richest in en- demic species diverged in spring and spring stream habitats of high elevations. Key words – Balkan Peninsula, caddisfl ies, Carpathian Basin, taxonomic history INTRODUCTION During the last few years we have conducted studies on speciation proc- esses acquiring intuitive insight into the contemporary entity divergences simply by empirical detecting and describing over 120 young incipient new caddisfl y species in the European Trichoptera fauna (Oláh et al. 2012, 2013a, b, c, 2014, 2015a, b, 2017). Th is amount of new taxa, discovered easily with moderate eff ort in the so-called “intensively studied and well known” faunal region, clearly indi- cates that our knowledge is still far from complete.

Pešić: 20 September 2019 │ Published online 16 October 2019 Abstract Caddisfly specimens were collected with entomological net and ultraviolet light trap during 2016 and 2017 at eight localities in North Macedonia, Kosovo and Serbia. During this investigation we found 13 species. Here we report first record of Chaetopteroides kosovarorum from North Macedonia, as well as new localities for this species in Kosovo and Serbia. This species belongs to an extremely rare genus, inhabiting only few mountainous areas in the Balkans, and until recently has been reported only from its type locality in Kosovo. Beside this, several other rare species were recorded during this investigation such as: Rhyacophila obtusa and Drusus botosaneanui. Key words: Trichoptera, Chaetopteroides kosovarorum, North Macedonia, Kosovo. Introduction The Balkan Peninsula is one of the most important biodiversity hotspots for aquatic insects and caddisflies in Europe with a high rate of endemism due to the geological, hydrological and climatic features of the area (e.g.
