abstract = "In the period from April 1998 to January 1999 macrozoobenthos of the Pusta Reka River was investigated. The Pusta Reka River is a principal water artery of the Pusta Reka region in southeastern Serbia. It originates from the Kurtiška, Statovačka and Dragodelska Reka rivers, joined in the village of Kruškar, and flows, 64 km further, into the Južna Morava River near Doljevac. The bottom fauna of the Pusta Reka River is composed of 20 groups of macroinvertebrates with 135 determined taxa, 73 being determined at the species and 62 at the genus level. The insect orders Ephemeroptera (25 taxa), Trichoptera (19 taxa), Diptera (19 taxa) and Coleoptera (11 taxa) are the most diverse, whereas the Isopoda and Decapoda and insects from Megaloptera and Neuroptera orders have the most uniform structure, each containing one species. In the river course near the source the Gammaridae individuals are predominant. In the upper and middle river course, in localities IV, VII, VIII, IX, X and XI, the Chironomidae larvae are prevalent whereas in localities III, V and VI those of Ephemeroptera. The Trichoptera larvae are the most numerous in the lower part of the river flow i.e. in the locality XI. On the basis of biocoenotic analysis, three biocoenotic complexes may be distinguished on the bottom of the Pusta Reka River: one specific of the river course near the source, the second is peculiar of the upper and middle river course, and the third specific of the lower part of the river course. It should be noted that the species Hemiclepsis marginata, Baetis niger, Ecdyonurus aurantiacus, Helodes marginata, Blepharicera fasciata, Heptatoma pellucens, Rhyacophila pascoei, were recorded for the first time for the fauna of Serbia., U periodu od aprila 1998. do januara 1999. godine obavljena su istraživanja makrozoobentosa Puste reke. Pusta reka je glavna vodna arterija pustorečkog kraja u jugoistočnoj Srbiji. Nastaje spajanjem Kurtiške, Statovačke i Dragodelske reke u zaseoku Kruškar, a u Južnu Moravu se posle 64 km toka uliva kod Doljevca. Faunu dna Puste reke sačinjava 20 grupa makroinvertebrata sa 135 determinisanih taksona (73 determinisanih na nivou vrste i 62 na nivou roda). Najveće raznovrsnosti su insekatski redovi Ephemeroptera (25 taksona), Trichoptera (19), Diptera (19) i Coleoptera (11), dok su najuniformnijeg sastava rakovi (Isopoda i Decapoda) i insekti iz redova Megaloptera i Neuroptera, sa po jednom nađenom vrstom. U izvorskom regionu dominiraju jedinke Gammaridae, u gornjem i srednjem toku reke larve Chironomidae (IV, VII, VIII, IX, X i XI lokalitet) i Ephemeroptera (III, V i VI lokalitet), dok su larve Trichoptera najbrojnije na XI lokalitetu. Na osnovu biocenotičke analize u naselju dna Puste reke mogu se izdvojiti tri biocenotička kompleksa: biocenotički kompleks koji odgovara izvorskom regionu, kompleks koji odgovara regionu gornjeg i srednjeg, i kompleks koji odgovara regionu donjeg toka reke. Vrste Hemiclepsis marginala, Baetis niger, Ecdyonurus aurantiacus, Helodes marginata, Blepharera fasciata, Heptatoma pellucens, Rhyacophila pascoei, su prvi put zabeležene za faunu Srbije.",
