Abstract

The caddisfly fauna of 13 protected areas in Belarus is studied. A total of 97 species from the following 12 families are recorded: Hydroptilidae (6 species), Ecnomidae (1), Polycentropodidae (11), Pshychomyidae (1), Hydropsychidae (5), Phryganeidae (12), Brachycentridae (1), Limnephilidae (41), Sericostomatidae (1), Molannidae (1), Beraeidae (3), and Leptoceridae (14). Polycentropus kingi McLachlan, 1881; Agrypnia picta Kolenati, 1848; Limnephilus sericeus (Say, 1824); L. dispar McLachlan, 1875; L. elegans Curtis, 1834, and Hagenella clathrata (Kolenati, 1848) are rare in Europe. Some of the revealed species are critically endangered in several countries of western Europe. The studied protected areas play an important role in conservation of species diversity and in the distribution of several rare species.
