Abstract

Adult caddisflies were collected in early summer and autumn in 2012 at various freshwater habitats within Papuk Nature Park. Caddisflies were collected using sweep nets and light traps at eight sampling sites. A total of 360 individuals belonging to 33 species, 24 genera and 11 families were recorded during the current study. A preliminary list of caddisfly species occurring in Papuk Nature Park is presented. Seven species collected are the first records for the caddisfly fauna of Croatia: Rhyacophila loxias, Rhyacophila nubila, Rhyacophila obliterata, Rhyacophila polonica, Wormaldia pulla, Diplectrona atra and Drusus schmidi. Some of these species were also hitherto not recorded within the ecoregion Hungarian lowlands (ER11). Additionally, the rare Beraea maurus was recorded for the first time in Croatia after the single finding in 1934.
