Uherkovich és Ábrahám L., gen. prep. № 1667) oldalról, b: alulról, c: Tinodes valvatus Mart. (Furtoug, 1990. VI. 9., leg. Uherkovich és Ábrahám L., gen. prep. № 1634) oldalról, d: alulról. of other Dinárt hmm species (Fig. 10). On the same place we collected D. longiplicatum Mart, too, in July, 1989 (NÓGRÁDI and UHERKOVICH 1992), D. iranicum Schmid specimens were taken in the beginning of June. On the Caspian Lowland two Triaenodes species (T. internus McL. and T. reuteri McL.) are relatively frequent. Both are very variable species. T. internus McL. occurs in Turkey, too (SiPAHiLER and MALICKY 1987), T. reuteri McL. was published from the Arabian Peninsula and Egypt (MALICKY 1987). 2. Species new to the Caucasian fauna. Our collecting trips in the years 1990-1991 enrich the caddisfly list of the Caucasus by four species, so the number of known species increased to 150. These species are: Hydropsyche contubernalis McL. (ssp. iranica Mai.), Micropterna nycterobia McL., Lasiocephala basalis Kol. and Dinarthrum iranicum Schmid. In the Appendix all species are enumerated which were published from the mountains. The list is based on that of BOTOSANEANU and MALICKY (1978) from "Limnofauna Europaea". Only few papers were published since that time (KUMANSKI 1980a, 1980b, 1981a, MALICKY and OLÁH 1979, MEY AND MÜLLER 1979). 3. Endemic Caucasian species. BOTOSANEANU and MALICKY (1978) indicate the endemic species. Later some of them were collected in other countries too, mostly in Turkey (SIPAHILER and MALICKY 1987). Such species are for example Drusus caucasicus Mart., Rhyacophila clavalis Mart., Rh. forcipulata Mart., Rh. spinulata Mart., Glossosoma unguicuiatum Mart., Tinodes difficilis Mart., Limnephilus microdentatus Mart., Athripsodes fulvicornis Mart. Thus the number of endemic species decreased. According to recent knowledge 31 endemic species are known from the Caucasus. These are marked by asterisk in the list of Appendix. 4. Species new to the Caspian Lowland. The Trichoptera fauna of the Caspian Lowland is poorly known. Only 31 species were known from there in 1978 by BOTOSANEANU and MALICKY. The number of known species increased to 45, they are enumerated in Paragraph 1 of Appendix. Eight new species are published in this paper, bulk of them is not rarity. The occurrence of Oxyethira mirabilis Mart, is an uncertain data, due to the determination of the only one female caused some difficulties. Phryganea rotundata Ulm. is discussed in the previous paragraph. 5. Trichoptera of Chechen-Ingoosh Republic. Till recent days no caddisfly data were published from the Republic. Thus the previous (NÓGRÁDI and UHERKOVICH 1992) and recent paper establish the Trichoptera fauna of this land. During the years 1988-1991 altogether 62 species were collected by the members of the expeditions. These species can be surveyed in the Appendix, Paragraph 3. As the area of Republic lays both on the Caspian Lowland and the Caucasus, the fauna of these two regions differ from each other strikingly. Only very few mutual species were pointed out.
