Abstract		McLachlan (1879) described and figured Rhyacophila hirticornis which is a well-known Central European species. Schmid (1970), in his revision of the genus, figured a specimen (Fig. 5) which differed from the figure (Fig. 4) by McLachlan, but most readers accepted the possibility of a certain variation, so that Schmid's figure was included in the European Trichoptera Atlas by Malicky (1983:15) under the name of R.hirticornis. During our study of material from Slovenia, we noticed two clearly different species. The first was found in the Alpine region (Kranjska Gora), in the Pohorje mountains at 5 sites, in the sub-pannonian region (springs of rivers Ščavnica and Ročica) and at the southeastem edge of the Karst (streams Krvavi potok and GIinščica). The males of this species (Fig. 1, 2) corresponded with the figure by McLachlan (1879, plate XLIX) and with specimens from many places in Austria, Hungary, Switzerland and southern Germany in the collection of the third author. McLachlan's description was based on specimens from Zuerich (Switzerland), "Steyer" (=Steyr) (Austria), Wurzenpass (Carinthia), "Siskaer Berg" and Goerz (=Gorica) (Carniola; now Slovenia). The second species was found in the Dinaric region (Podplana and Žlebič), which corresponds with the figures given by Schmid (1970) and Malicky (1983).
