Abstract

Na području Konavala provodila su se terenska istraživanja Trichoptera od 2004. do 2019. godine. Ukupno je bilo 9 terenskih izlazaka s 13 terenskih dana. Prikupljeno je 206 primjeraka imaga i 76 ličinki na 8 lokaliteta istraživanja i utvrđeno 27 taxa Trichoptera od kojih 23 vrste, raspoređenih u 17 rodova i 12 porodica. Po prvi puta u fauni Hrvatske utvrđene su vrste Oxyethira falcata Mor. i Agapetus fuscipes Cur., a vrste Diplectrona atra Mcl., Silo nigricornis Pic., Potamophylax pallidus Kla. i Adicella filicornis Pic. ovim su istraživanjima po prvi puta utvrđene u mediteranskom području Hrvatske. Najveći broj vrsta utvrđen je na izvoru i gornjem dijelu rijeke Ljute što je i bilo i za očekivati jer je to jedina veća tekućica na području Konavala, a vrlo zanimljivim staništem pokazali su se su i mali potoci na kojima su utvrđene sve četiri vrste iz porodice Hydroptilidae. Na temelju utvrđenih rezultata potrebno je ne samo nastaviti s istraživanjima faune Trichoptera i njezine rasprostranjenosti na području Konavala, nego adekvatno provesti učinkovitu zaštitu svih tipova vodotoka i staništa na tome području jer ovi rezultati ukazuju na njihove velike faunističke vrijednosti.

Abstract (english)

Caddisflies field surveys were conducted in the Konavle area from 2004 to 2019. In total there were 9 field trips with 13 field days. 206 specimens of imag and 76 larvae were collected at 8 exploration sites and 27 Caddisflies taxes were identified of which 23 types, distributed in 17 species and 12 families. For the first time in the fauna of Croatia, species of Oxyethira falcata Mor and Agapetus fuscipes Cur. have been identified, and the species Diplectron atra Mcl., Silo nigricornis Pic., Potamophylax pallidus Kla. and Adicella filicornis Pic. are determined within these explorations for the first time in the Mediterranean area of Croatia. As expected, the largest number of species was identified at the mouth and upper part of the Ljuta River, because it is the only larger streaming water in the area of Konavle. Also small streams on which all four species of the family Hydroptilidae were identified has proven to be very interesting habitats. Based on the established results, it is necessary not only to continue the research of the Caddisflies fauna and its geographic distribution in the Konavle area, but also to adequately implement effective protection of all types of watercourses and habitats in this area, as this results indicate their great faunistical values.
