New records and distribution data of stoneflies (Insecta: Plecoptera) from the Western Balkans

The knowledge about stoneflies of the Balkan Peninsula is still not complete, with many areas poorly investigated. During this investigation, we collected adult stonefly specimens from Kosovo, Albania, North Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro during the period 2014-2018. In total, we found 42 species...

Zusammenfassung:The knowledge about stoneflies of the Balkan Peninsula is still not complete, with many areas poorly investigated. During this investigation, we collected adult stonefly specimens from Kosovo, Albania, North Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro during the period 2014-2018. In total, we found 42 species belonging to 14 genera and 7 families. Five species are recorded for the first time for Kosovo (Leuctra cingulata Kempny, 1899, Leuctra cf. olympia Aubert, 1956 Nemoura cf. lucana Nicolai & Fochetti, 1991, Nemoura uncinata Despax, 1934 and Brachyptera macedonica Ikonomov, 1983), one is recorded for the first time for Serbia (Nemoura asceta Murányi, 2007) and one for Albania (Leuctra major Brinck, 1949). This investigation contributes to the knowledge of distribution patterns of stoneflies species in the Balkan Peninsula.
