- Abstract
Peatlands in Croatia are rare, small in size and isolated habitats. Due to the abandonment of traditional land-management practices, and particularly to the progressive vegetation succession, they are critically endangered. Caddisfl y faunistics and ecology of peatlands in Croatia have never been studied. A total of seven caddisfl y taxa were collected in this study at three diff erent peatlands; Dubravica bog, Đon močvar bog and Jarak fen. The collection of Adicella reducta (McLachlan, 1865) represents a new record for the Croatian caddisfl y fauna. Additionally, two tyrphophilous species, Hagenella clathrata (Kolenati, 1848) and Rhadicoleptus alpestris (Kolenati, 1848), were recorded for the fi rst time in Croatia since an imprecise literature record from 1935 and two previous fi ndings (from 1929 and 1997), respectively. Caddisfl y larvae were also collected in two peatlands, belonging to the genera Beraea Stephens, 1836 and Ernodes Wallengren, 1891, which are oft en collected at peatbogs in larval stages.
