Sažetak
A staudy caddisflies biodiversity and its application for use as indicator species to asses the ekcological integrity of aquatic enviroments was conducted in the area of the Lištica River, Bosnia and Herzegovina. A portable UV lighttrap was used to collect caddisflies at two sites: the spring of Lištica-Bilo Vrilo and the middle reach of this river in a karstic depression-Mostarsko blato. From March 2003 to March 2004 a total of 4334 individuals, representing 34 species were caught. There were significant differences in species composition and abundance between sampling sites. The flight periods are shown for all recorded species and studied in detail for twelve abundant species. The species inventories were used for analysing the longitudinal classification of the sampling sites, composition of functional feeding guilds and the saprobic indices.
