An updated checklist of all known species from this country is presented. The list con- tains 75 species occurring in Montenegro. Of these, two species were re- ported for the first time for the country. One was a green lacewing Chrys- operla lucasina, which has already been expected for the area. The second species new to Montenegro, an owlfly Libelloides longicornis, is particularly noteworthy, because its finding in the Balkan Peninsula was unexpected. Key words: lacewings, Neuropterida, Neuroptera, Montenegro, owlfly, Libelloides longi- cornis, checklist Apstract: Mrežokrilci (Insecta: Neuropterida: Raphidioptera, Megaloptera, Neu- roptera) sakupljeni u Crnoj Gori, sa ček-listom vrsta Dat je prikaz sedamnaest vrsta mrežokrilaca (Raphidioptera, Megalop- tera, Neuroptera) utvrđenih u Crnoj Gori tokom 2017. i 2018. godine. Priložena je i inovirana ček-lista svih do sada utvrđenih vrsta u ovoj zem- lji. Tom listom potvrđeno je prisustvo 75 vrsta mrežokrilaca u Crnoj Gori. Među njima dve vrste su po prvi put prikazane za Crnu Goru. Jedna od njih je vrsta zlatooke Chrysoperla lucasina, koja je i očekivana za to područje. Druga nova vrsta za Crnu Goru je Libelloides longicornis, čiji je nalaz značajan jer je prisustvo ove vrste na Balkanskom poluostrvu neočekivano. Ključne reči: mrežokrilci, Neuropterida, Neuroptera, Crna gora, askalafide, Libelloides longicornis, ček-lista Introduction Montenegro is a mountainous Mediterranean coun- try in the south-west part of the Balkan Peninsula, bordering the Adriatic Sea. Despite the fact that Montenegro is the second smallest country in the Balkan Peninsula, the diversity of the landscape, climate and soil created the conditions for high bio- diversity. The research has been conducted in pre-selected areas – so-called Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) – during the field seasons 2017 and 2018 within the frame of the IPA Project ‘Establishment of Natura 2000 network, Montenegro’. The oldest known Montenegrin record of lacew- ings (Neuropterida: Raphidioptera, Megaloptera, Neuroptera) dates back to 1908, when an owlfly, Li- belloides lacteus was mentioned in the country (Van Der Weele, 1908). Up to the second half of the 20th century, lacewings in the country have been insuf- ficiently investigated, and based mainly on sporadic records (Appendix 1). Before the WWII, Táborský in his studies of owlflies (Ascalaphidae) presented the distribution for two ascalaphid species in the Balkan countries, also in Montenegro (Táborský, 1936, 1939). In the sixties, a snakefly Raphidia dur- mitorica was described as a new species (Steinmann, 1964), but later this species name was recognized as a synonym of Dichrostigma flavipes (Aspöck & As- pöck, 1966). In the second half of the 20th century, Saure (1989) collected twelve lacewing species in Montenegro. © 2019 Devetak, Jakšić.

Later, a series of papers was published, con- taining very scattered information on the occurrence of these insects in the country (Devetak, 1992, 1995, 1996, 1997; Letardi and Pantaleoni, 1996; Devetak and Devetak, 2004, Popov, 2004; Sziráki, 2014; De- vetak et al., 2015; Devetak et al., 2016; Devetak and Zeqiri, 2018; Appendix 1). Until recently, 73 lacewing species were known for Montenegro. However, in the preparation for a review of the fauna in selected areas in Montenegro, efforts were made to determine whether other spe- cies of lacewings might be present in the country. The aim of the paper is to improve the knowledge on the occurrence of lacewings in Montenegro. Materials and methods Lacewings were collected in selected sites during lepidopterological field work of the second author in 2017 and 2018. Insects are preserved in the first au- thor’s collection. We followed the nomenclature and taxonomy proposed by Aspöck et al. (1980, 2001) and Lacewing Digital Library (Oswald, 2017). Results In the period from 2017 to 2018, seventeen lacewing species were collected. Two species – green lacew- ing Chrysoperla lucasina and owlfly Libelloides longicornis - are new in Montenegro. Of these, the finding of the owlfly Libelloides longicornis is par- ticularly noteworthy. Its finding represents the first documented record for the Balkan Peninsula. Addi- tionally, a checklist of Neuropterida (Raphidioptera, Megaloptera, Neuroptera) in Montenegro is present- ed (Appendix 1).

Today, we are able to distinguish several species in Europe (Henry et al., 2013), and at least five in the Balkan Peninsula (e.g. Henry et al., 1996, 1999, 2002, 2003; Thierry and Canard, 2015; Devetak and Rausch 2016).

This species occurs in Central and West- ern Europe and Italy (Aspöck et al., 1980, 2001) and the finding in Montenegro enlarges the knowl- edge on its occurrence in Europe.

Discussion The paper presents lacewings collected in selected areas in Montenegro during the years 2017 and 2018. With the new findings, the number of known Neuropterida in Montenegro has now raised to 75. The most spectacular was the finding of an owlfly, Libelloides longicornis, which has not yet been re- corded in the Balkan Peninsula. Studies in future should confirm whether there is a stable population in Montenegro. Its known occurrence has ranged from Western Europe to Italy and Central Europe (Aspöck et al., 1980, 2001); in the light of the dis- covery of this species in Montenegro, therefore we can expect more findings in the Balkan Peninsula in the future.
