Abstract

In the article the hydro-landscape and hydrobiological criteria of intact natural water bodies (springs, streams,
rivers, old river-beds, lakes, bogs) are considered. Twenty one species of water and amphibiotic insects were proposed
as bioindicators of intact natural water ecosystems: 14 species-indicators of intact natural watercourses (mayfly Siphlonurus lacustris (Eaton), dragonflies Cordulegaster boltonii (Donovan, 1807) and Ophiogomphus cecilia,
stonefly Leuctra digitata (Kempny), Nemoura cambrica (Stephens), Taeniopteryx nebulosa (Linnaeus), bugs Velia
saulii Tamanini, 1947, beetles Deronectes latus (Stephens), Hydraena gracilis Germar, Nebrioporus assimilis
(Paykull) and Oreodytes sanmarkii (Sahlberg), alderfly Sialis nigripes Pictet, 1865, caddisflies Chaetopteryx villosa
(Fabricius) and Odontocerum albicorne (Scopoli)), an indicator of intact rivers, old river-beds, lakes and bogs
(dragonfly Brachytron pretense (Müller, 1764)), an intact dystrophic lakes indicator (caddisfly Agrypnia obsolete
Hagen, 1864), three indicators of intact upland and transitional bogs (beetle Ilybius wasastjernae (Sahlberg, 1824),
dragonflies Aeshna subarctica Walker, 1908 and Somatochlora arctica (Zetterstedt, 1840)).
Key words: bioindicators; Odonata; Ephemeroptera; Plecoptera; Trichoptera; Megaloptera; Hemiptera;
Coleoptera; criteria for intact water ecosystems.
