Description

During 2017 we collected adult caddisfly specimens at the Karadak Mountains, Republic of North Macedonia. In total we found 15 species, two of which are recorded for the first time from North Macedonia: Potamophylax fules Oláh and Ibrahimi, 2013 and Chaetopteryx gonospina Marinkovic-Gospodnetic, 1966. Potamophylax fules belongs to the nigricornis group and is scarcely distributed in Kosovo, Montenegro, Rumania and now Macedonia. Chaetopteryx gonospina has a disjunct distribution in Balkans and Pyrenees. Finding of these two species contributes to the knowledge of their distribution patterns and shows that Balkan Peninsula has still poorly investigated areas.
