Abstract

In this paper we discuss the presence of three rare caddisfly species on the Macedonian part of Shar Mountain. Crunoecia bosniaca (Lepidostomatidae) and Drusus sharrensis, (Limnephilidae), are recorded for the first time in the country, while Tinodes kimminsi (Psychomyiidae) is reported for the first time on Shar Mountain. Detailed information about the ecology and distribution of these species is also provided. This study is an important contribution to the knowledge of the caddisfly fauna, not only for R. North Macedonia, but for the whole Balkan Peninsula.
