The paper presents the study of macroinvertebrate diversity in the Belgrade region. The study is based on material collected in September of 2012. A total of 21 localities, belonging to 5 different stream types are analyzed. A total of 65 taxa were identified. Oligochaeta were found to be the most diverse group overall, as well as in each analyzed watercourse type. Besides Nematoda and Chironomidae, tubificid worms Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri Claparede, 1862 and Potamothrix hammoniensis (Michaelsen, 1901), as well as snail Physella acuta Draparnaud, 1805 were common for all analyzed stream types. Although a low number of commom taxa in analyzed types could suggest faunistical differences, the performed multivariate analysis (DCA) could not separate watercourses in the Belgrade region in respect to their macroinvertebrate fauna. Such faunistical structures with no difference in respect to water types could be due to deteriorated habitats in this urban area. For more reliable analysis, prolonged and more detailed sampling is needed.
