A Dinarthrum iranicum Schmid ivarszerve, a: him (Furtoug, 1990. VI. 9., leg. Uherkovich és Ábrahám L., gen. prep. № 1618) oldalról, b: felülről, с: félig hátulról, d: a csáp alapi része (bal oldalon és részlet: hím, jobb oldalon: nőstény), e: nőstény (ugyanazon adatokkal, gen. prep. № 1619) oldalról, f: felülről, g: alulról. On the Lowland mostly widespread species of standing waters live. These have very large area and they live in Middle Europe too, but some of them are very rare there, e. g. Parasetodes respersella Ramb. Some "eastern" species also live here, which do not occur in Middle Europe, e. g. Limnephilus major Mart., Triaenodes internus McL., Hydropsyche sciligra Mai. In the mountainous region several endemic species live (see Paragraph 3 of this Chapter). Some of them have already been taken in the Chechen-Ingoosh Republic. Other species (e. g. Potamophylax latipennis Curt., Phacopteryx brevipennis Curt., Micropterna nycterobia McL., Limnephilus hirsutus Pict., etc.) have larger area and they occur in Middle Europe, too. Acknowledgements We express our sincere thanks to Prof. Dr. V. Kan-Kalik, President of Chechen-Ingoosh State University (Grozny, Chechen-Ingoosh Republic, Russia) for ensuring the conditions of our staying and field work in the Republic; to Dr. D. Uzhakhov, to Dr. T. S. Korol', to Dr. A. Bakhtiev, to Dr. T. Tochiev and to I. Gizatulin (the staff of Zoological Department of Chechen-Ingoosh State University) for their organizing work and their help in field works; to L. Ábrahám (Kaposvár), to A. Sárközi and V. Marko (Tata), to Dr. Z. Mészáros and Dr. L. Ronkay (Budapest), to Dr. Gy. Bürgés (Keszthely) for allowing us to study their collected material. Our special thanks to Dr. B. Herczig (Tata), who invited one of the authors (Á. Uherkovich) to the expeditions in the year 1989 and who organized and coordinated the work of collecting journeys. Summary During the years 1988-1991 five scientific expeditions were led to the Caucasus and the Caspian Lowland to study the insect fauna of Chechen-Ingoosh ASSR (later: Chechen Republic, Russian State Federation). Some results of these collecting journeys have been published (HERCZIG et al. 1989, 1990, NÓGRÁDI 1992, NÓGRÁDI and UHERKOVICH 1992) about Lepidoptera and Trichoptera. This paper presents further trichopterological results from the Republic, from the years 1990-1991. During these two years three collecting trips were organized to the examined area. 3469 specimens of 53 caddisfly species were collected. Five Caucasian species were collected now first in the Republic (Stactobia caspersi Ulmer, Hydropsyche contubernalis McL., Micropterna nycterobia McL., Lasiocephala basalis Kol. and Dinarthrum iranicum Schmid). The number of species known from the Lowland has already increased up to 45. The check list of Trichoptera of the Republic was compiled and is published. In Appendix the entire list of the Caucasus, of the Caspian Lowland and Chechen-Ingoosh (Chechen) Republic is given. Appendix Supplemented Trichoptera list of the Caspian Lowland and the Caucasus and the Trichoptera check list of Chechen-Ingoosh Republic. In this chapter all Trichoptera species are listed which have already been collected either in the Caspian Lowland (1) or in the Caucasus (2). The basic list is compiled on the basis of Botosaneanu and Malicky's (1978) list. Endemic Caucasian species are shown by an asterisk
