Sažetak
As their aquatic larvae are very sensitive to water pollution, stoneflies are widely used by the environmental monitoring agencies as bioindicators for assessing water quality, like for determination of the biotic, saprobity and EPT indices. Stonefly terrestrial adults and eggs are also very important for proper species identification. During May, June and October 2009 we were collecting qualitative samples of Plecoptera from more than 20 localities in the areas of Durmitor and Mt. Biograd National Parks as from many streams and rivers throughout Montenegro. Aim of this study was to investigate the diversity and the distribution of stoneflies in Montenegro. The results are based on the identification of adult insects and only in some cases, larvae and exuviae were taken into consideration. More than 60 species of stoneflies were recorded from 7 families and 17 different genera ; 4 of which belong to the family Nemouridae (Amphinemura, Nemoura, Nemurella, Protonemura), 4 to the family Perlodidae (Arcynopteryx, Besdolus, Isoperla, Perlodes), 2 to the family Chloroperlidae (Chloroperla, Siphonoperla), 2 to the family Perlidae (Dinocras, Perla), 2 to the family Taeniopterygidae (Brachyptera, Taeniopteryx), 2 to the family Capniidae (Capnia, Capnioneura), and 1 to the family Leuctridae (Leuctra). Majority of recorded species (37) was from families Nemouridae (19 species) and Leuctridae (18). Other stonefly families where not so diverse: Perlodidae (10), Taeniopterygidae (7), Chloroperlidae (5), Capniidae (3), and Perlidae (2). Our short study and some other recent studies showed that, considering the stonefly diversity, Montenegro is very reach and relatively undiscovered part of Europe and much more research is needed for proper inventorisation of stonefly fauna in Montenegro. Recent descriptions of some new stonefly species from this area confirm these assumptions.
