Caddisfly fauna characteristics (Insecta, Trichoptera) of four Adriatic islands with a note on DNA barcoding

To date, 13 species of Trichoptera from 11 genera and 8 families have been reported for the Adriatic islands of Cres, Krk, Pag and Hvar. Relatively recent research has been conducted on the islands of Cres, Krk and Pag, where 329 adults of Trichoptera belonging to 10 species from 8 genera and 6 families were collected. Most dominant was Ecnomus tenellus with 235 specimens collected (islands of Krk and Cres) followed by Leptocerus tineiformis (Krk) with 51 specimens collected. Only one specimen of the each species Stenophylax mitis (Cres) and Mystacides azurea (Krk) was recorded. Most od species were recorded on the island of Krk (7), and the lowest on the island of Pag (2). Faunistically most interesting was the first finding of species Stenophylax mitis McL. for the fauna of Croatia.
