Lepidoptera: Biology and Taxonomy

The water beetle fauna of Montenegro is still poorly known. In the catalog dealing with water beetles (Hydrochantares and Palpicornia) in Yugoslavia Gueorguiev (1971) gives a list of 116 water beetle species from Montenegro. Miksic (1977) reported the presence of six water beetles species from the Ulcinj area. In the present paper, 19 water beetle species (Coleoptera Hydradephaga) are reported, five of which are new for the fauna of Montenegro. All specimens have been deposited in the zoological collection of the department of Biology (Podgorica). In list of the species, we give the locality, the date of sampling, the total number of individuals and the names of collectors.
