Abstract

In this article, we share our results regarding adult male Chironomidae collected from the Lepenc River Watershed located above the settlements of Dimcë and Dërmjak, part of the Karadak Mountain range in western Kosovo. We document 16 species and one taxon at the generic level from these habitats, with 12 species identified as new faunistic records for Kosovo.
