Abstract

In Europe the Phyrganeidae family comprises 7 genera and 20 species. In Croatia, 6 species have been recorded from this family, and four of them recorded and collected in the last five years have been DNA barcoded. In terms of faunistic research, most interesting is the record of Trichostegia minor Curtis, 1834 from the region of the Gacka River in Lika, in upland Croatia. Up to now four species have been included in the BOLD system with 6 DNA-barcoded specimens. From the Gacka River area, 10 specimens of 8 species, including T. minor, have been barcoded and included into the BOLD system. Phylogenetic research based on DNA barcode data has shown some interesting results. Specimen of T. minor collected in the area of the Gacka River is clustered with a specimen of this species from Austria into a separate subgroup, which shows minor molecular specifics. Phylogenetic analysis has confirmed the justification of the status of a subspecies from Mongolia, Phryganea grandis rotundata Ulmer, 1905. Future Trichoptera fauna research in Croatia will continue investigations of the family Phryganeidae in various parts of the country for the purpose of ascertaining the detailed distribution of all the species recorded, to enable finding some other previously missing species, as well as collecting and DNA barcoding of Hagenella clathrata (Kolenati, 1848) and Oligostomis reticulata (Linnaeus, 1761). With respect to these species, the data will also be useful for the area of conservation biology, necessary for their protection and for the protection of the sites in which they occur, for it is clear that these are very rare species in Croatia, T. minor also belonging to this group: 50% of the species from this family recorded in Croatia are rare and very rare species.<br />Porodica Phyrganeidae broji u Europi 7 rodova i 20 vrsta. Iz ove porodice na području Hrvatske utvrđeno je 6 vrsta, od kojih su DNA barkodirane četiri vrste, zabilježene i prikupljene u posljednjih pet godina. Faunistički najzanimljiviji je nalaz vrste Trichostegia minor Curtis, 1834 s područja rijeke Gacke (regija Lika), gorska Hrvatska. U BOLD bazu upisane su četiri vrste sa šest DNA barkodiranih primjeraka. S područja rijeke Gacke je DNA barkodirano i upisano u BOLD bazu 10 primjeraka s osam vrsta, uključujući i vrstu T. minor. Filogenetska istraživanja temeljena na analizi DNA barkod podataka pokazala su zanimljive rezultate. Primjerak vrste T. minor prikupljen na području rijeke Gacke grupira se s primjerkom te vrste iz Austrije u zasebnu podrgrupu, što ukazuje na manje molekularne specifičnosti. Filogenetska analiza potvrdila je i opravdanost statusa podvrste iz Mongolije, Phryganea grandis rotundata Ulmer, 1905. U budućim istraživanjima faune Trichoptera Hrvatske nastavit će se istraživanja porodice Phyrganeidae u različitim dijelovima Hrvatske u svrhu utvrđivanja detaljnijeg rasprostranjenja svih zabilježenih vrsta, potencijalnog nalaza neke još nezabilježene vrste, ali i nalaza te DNA barkodiranja vrsta Hagenella clathrata (Kolenati, 1848) i Oligostomis reticulata (Linnaeus, 1761). Za te vrste bit će potrebno utvrditi i određene značajke u području konzervacijske biologije potrebne za njihovu zaštitu i zaštitu lokaliteta na kojima žive, jer je očito da su to vrlo rijetke vrste u fauni Hrvatske, a u koje pripada i vrsta T. minor; naime, 50% zabilježenih vrsta porodice Phyrganeidae u Hrvatskoj su rijetke i vrlo rijetke vrste.
