Abstract

A review of the study of Trichoptera in the Jewish Autonomous Region (JAO) from 1962 to the present is given. It is noted that a signifi cant increase in the list of species occurred in the early 2000s as a result of expeditions of the Federal Scientifi c Center for Biodiversity of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences in the JAO, and during entomological studies in the Bastak State Nature Reserve. From 2018 to the present, as part of the annual comprehensive studies of the freshwater biota of the Middle Amur River basin, knowledge of the fauna of the caddis fl ies of the JAO has signifi cantly expanded. By now the list of caddis fl ies in the region has amounted 225 species from 59 genera and 21 families. The paper provides a systematic list of species and a brief analysis of the structure of the trichopterofauna of the JAO. Fourteen species of caddisfl ies are indicated for the fi rst time for the JAO region, three of them are probably new to science; one species, Anabolia appendix, was fi rst discovered on the territory of the continental part of Russia (previously it was known from Sakhalin Island and from China).
