Abstract

The paper brings data about the new findings of the rare Mediterranean caddisfly species Micropterna wageneri in Croatia with first data of DNA barcoding for this species. The species is recorded in Konavle region and on the Mt. Biokovo. We also present the diversity of the genus Micropterna in Croatia and discuss issues related to the DNA barcoding for this genus in Croatia and Europe.
