Abstract
The hitherto unknown female of Rhyacophila siparantum Ibrahimi, Bilalli & Kučinić, 2021 is described. In addition, some ecological notes about this rare species of Kosovo are provided. The female genitalia of R. siparantum are very similar to those of Rhyacophila hirticornis McLachlan, 1879 (known from numerous locations in Europe) and Rhyacophila schmidinarica Urbanič, Krušnik & Malicky, 2000 (known only from Slovenia and Croatia). The female genitalia of Rhyacophila siparantum can be easily distinguished from both species by its rounded apical part of segment VIII on ventral view, along with other morphological differences.
