Discussion Bulgaria From Bulgaria KUMANSKI'S (1985, 1988) books mention 234 caddisfly species. Our collections proved to be relatively rich in species: 88 species were taken. One of the most interesting results was to catch an adult of Plectrocnemia minima Klapálek. As it is known, this species is a rarity in Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary. Its "locus typicus" can be found in Romania, where about fifteen specimens were taken (BOTOSANEANU 1967). The first Hungarian specimen was collected in Mecsek Mountains, South Hungary in 1986 (NÓGRÁDI 1992, NÓGRÁDI, UHERKOVICH 1991), but that habitat has already been destroyed. Eight years later, we collected it again not very far from the first site, in another valley (South Hungary, Mecsek Mts., Vár-völgy, June 20, 1994, leg. Sára Nógrádi & Á. Uherkovich). The first Bulgarian specimen was also collected by us, in 1985 (earlier unpublished; see the list of collected material). Later K. Kumanski reported on a further specimen (KUMANSKI 1988). Fig. 4.

The other important result was the recognition of the female of Stactobia maclachlani Kimmins. Only the male had been known and figured formerly. In 1985 some males had also been taken and the differences were noticed between its female and of others (Fig. 1). As it appears, the structure of the bursa copulatrix is characteristic and its shape differs from that of other known species. Greece The first Greek faunal lists were published in the 1970s by MALICKY (1974, 1977). Since then, further papers have been published either with the description of species or about the zoogeographical situation of the islands and groups of islands (Malicky's several papers, e. g. MALICKY 1985a). In the 1990s a supplemented list was published (MALICKY 1993). The material seen and elaborated by us contains only 17 species. Stenophylax minoicus Malicky is an endemism for Crete. Agapetus rectigonopoda Bots, also has a small distribution area in the Balkans, with few known locality data. Jugoslavia (Serbia and Macedonia) Here only a few widely distributed species were collected in two sites, in Serbia and in Macedonia. Since no summarized list has yet been published and our material is insignificant, our species are not commented. Turkey The first check lists of Turkey were published by MALICKY and SIPAHILER (1984) as well as SIPAHILER and MALICKY (1987). Later MALICKY and SIPAHILER (1993) added new data to that; altogether they have mentioned the occurrence of 291 Trichoptera species in Turkey. The material studied by us contains 64 species, mostly very vagile limnephilids from the genus Micropterna, Stenophylax and Limnephilus. The species composition also shows that the material were collected only by lamp and light trap, in most of the cases far from waters. Micropterna hatatitla Mai. has been described recently (MALICKY 1985b). Several specimens were captured, in five sites. Rhyacophila aliéna Mart, was ranked to the status of subspecies of Rhyacophila fasciata Hagen (MALICKY, SIPAHILER 1993, as Rhyacophila fasciata aliéna Mart.). Rhyacophila lepnevae Kum. and Hydroptila aegyptica Ulmer were not mentioned by SIPAHILER and MALICKY (1987), but later they added these species to the list of Turkish caddisflies (MALICKY, SIPAHILER 1993). Although in the latter paper the authors gave the occurrence of further 57 species from Turkey, five species (Hydro-
