BackgroundThe knowledge about distribution, ecology and species composition of caddisflies of the Balkan Peninsula is still not complete. The ongoing investigations of the last years highlight this area as an important hotspot of caddisfly diversity.    Polycentropus   ierapetra   slovenica    has been considered a narrow range endemic of Slovenia and surrounding areas.    Rhyacophila   aurata   , a species known from many parts of Europe, according to the current knowledge, is absent from a large part of the Balkan Peninsula.New informationIn this paper, we present records of these two rare taxa of   Trichoptera   from the Republic of Kosovo with exact distribution data, based on sampling carried out randomly during 2014 and 2017.    Polycentropus   ierapetra   slovenica    was found in several streams in Bjeshkët e Nemuna Mountains and Karadak Mountains.    Rhyacophila   aurata    was found during this investigation at a single locality in Bjeshkët e Nemuna Mountains.The unexpected finding of these two taxa in Kosovo greatly enlarges their known distribution area and makes a contribution towards the better knowledge of distributional patterns of these rare taxa of caddisflies in this part of Europe.
