In Mongolia, there are 198 caddisfly species belonging to 69 genera in 16 families. An updated species list also indicates the species that have been DNA barcoded. The distributions of species in the Mongolian aimags (provinces) are presented. Most species records are results from the Mongolian Aquatic Insect Survey (2002–2011, northcentral and western Mongolia) and Hovsgol_GEF projects (2002–2006, Lake Hovsgol and vicinity), and personal collections; other records are from the literature. The Mongolian caddisfly fauna is characteristic of central Asia and includes only 1 endemic species. Over half of the known Mongolian species occur in Hovsgol Aimag.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
