Abstract:
Four, presumably microendemic new Leuctra species are described on the basis of morphology of the adult males and females. Each species was collected only in a single mountain range of the western Balkans: Leuctraenigma Kovács & Murányi, sp. nov. (Albania, Çermenikë), L.golija sp. nov. (Serbia, Golija), L.puskasi sp. nov. (Bosnia & Herzegovina, Kozara), L.visitor sp. nov. (Montenegro, Visitor). Their morphological affinities and ecology are discussed, phylogenetic relations will be described in the framework of ongoing molecular studies of Balkan Leuctra species. The occurrences of the new species are depicted on a map. A list of Balkan endemic Leuctra species is given. Leuctradalmoni Vinçon & Murányi, 2007 is new for Albania and Montenegro, Nemourauncinata Despax, 1934, N.marginata Pictet, 1836 and Isoperlaburesi Raušer, 1962 are new for Albania, Nemourasciurus Aubert, 1949 is new for Bosnia & Herzegovina, while Capnias. l.viduarilensis Raušer, 1962 and L.metsovonica Aubert, 1956 are new for Montenegro.
