Description
| - An extensive survey of caddis flies (Trichoptera) was carried out in the Bílé Karpaty Protected Landscape Area and Biosphere Reserve (south-eastern Moravia, Czech Republic) in 2004–2010. A total of 121 species were found, including several species recorded for the first time for the Czech Republic (Synagapetus armatus (McLachlan, 1879), S. dubitans McLachlan, 1879, Hydroptila lotensis Mosely, 1930, and H. vichtaspa Schmid, 1959) or Moravia (Rhyacophila pubescens Pictet, 1834, Hydroptila angulata Mosely, 1922, H. angustata Mosely, 1939, Hydropsyche fulvipes (Curtis, 1834), Agrypnia varia (Fabricius, 1793), and Ernodes vicinus (McLachlan, 1879)). Altogether, with two species collected only in the 1950s, 123 species (48% of the fauna of the Czech Republic) were documented from the area, including many species rare or threatened at national level (seven of them are classified as critically endangered, three as endangered, and 11 as vulnerable species in the Red List of threatened invertebrates of the Czech Republic). Abundant populations of calciphilous species Rhyacophila pubescens and Tinodes unicolor (Pictet, 1834) in calcareous spring areas and brooks and many crenophilous species in springs, including some rare Glossosomatidae and Beraeidae, are particularly significant from the viewpoint of nature conservation. From the biogeographical viewpoint, the occurrences of several Carpathian species (Synagapetus armatus, Chaetopteryx polonica Dziêdzielewicz, 1889, and Potamophylax carpathicus (Dziêdzielewicz, 1912)) that reach their westernmost limits of distribution in the Bílé Karpaty Mts. and of the Ponto-Mediterranean species Hydroptila vichtaspa are the most noteworthy.
