Abstract
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.
