Chironominae 8.1
CHIRONOMINAE 8.1 SUBFAMILY CHIRONOMINAE 8 DIAGNOSIS: Antennae 4-8 segmented, rarely reduced. Labrum with S I simple, palmate or plumose; S II simple, apically fringed or plumose; S III simple; S IV normal or sometimes on pedicel. Labral lamellae usually well developed, but reduced or absent in some taxa. Mentum usually with 8-16 well sclerotized teeth; sometimes central teeth or entire mentum pale or poorly sclerotized; rarely teeth fewer than 8 or modified as seta-like projections. Ventromental plates well developed and usually striate, but striae reduced or vestigial in some taxa; beard absent. Prementum without dense brushes of setae. Body usually with anterior and posterior parapods and procerci well developed; setal fringe not present, but sometimes with bifurcate pectinate setae. Penultimate segment sometimes with 1-2 pairs of ventral tubules; antepenultimate segment sometimes with lateral tubules. Anal tubules usually present, reduced in brackish water and marine taxa. NOTESTES: Usually the most abundant subfamily (in terms of individuals and taxa) found on the Coastal Plain of the Southeast. Found in fresh, brackish and salt water (at least one truly marine genus). Most larvae build silken tubes in or on substrate; some mine in plants, dead wood or sediments; some are free- living; some build transportable cases. Many larvae feed by spinning silk catch-nets, allowing them to fill with detritus, etc., and then ingesting the net; some taxa are grazers; some are predacious. Larvae of several taxa (especially Chironomus) have haemoglobin that gives them a red color and the ability to live in low oxygen conditions. With only one exception (Skutzia), at the generic level the larvae of all described (as adults) southeastern Chironominae are known. -

In: Kahanpää J, Salmela J (Eds) Checklist of the Diptera of Finland. ZooKeys 441: 63–90. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.441.7461 Abstract A checklist of the family Chironomidae (Diptera) recorded from Finland is presented. Keywords Finland, Chironomidae, species list, biodiversity, faunistics Introduction There are supposedly at least 15 000 species of chironomid midges in the world (Armitage et al. 1995, but see Pape et al. 2011) making it the largest family among the aquatic insects. The European chironomid fauna consists of 1262 species (Sæther and Spies 2013). In Finland, 780 species can be found, of which 37 are still undescribed (Paasivirta 2012). The species checklist written by B. Lindeberg on 23.10.1979 (Hackman 1980) included 409 chironomid species. Twenty of those species have been removed from the checklist due to various reasons. The total number of species increased in the 1980s to 570, mainly due to the identification work by me and J. Tuiskunen (Bergman and Jansson 1983, Tuiskunen and Lindeberg 1986). -
Cryptochironomus. an Identification Key to the Larvae and Pupal Exuviae in Europe
©Erik Mauch Verlag, Dinkelscherben, Deutschland,1 Download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Lauterbornia 55: 1-22, D-86424 Dinkelscherben, 2005-08-19 Cryptochironomus. An identification key to the larvae and pupal exuviae in Europe Henk J. Vallenduuk and E. Morozova With 35 figures and 5 tables Keywords: Cryptochironomus, Diptera, Insecta, The Netherlands, Volga, Russia, Europe morphology, identification, distribution, larva, pupa, exuvia Schlagwörter: Cryptochironomus, Diptera, Insecta, Niederlande, Wolga, Russland, Europa, Morphologie, Bestimmung, Verbreitung, Larve, Puppe, Exuvie The genus Cryptochironomus Kieffer is represented in Europe by about ten species. An illustrated key to the pupal exuviae and larvae is given to the known and suggested species. The autecology unfortunately is little known. 1 Introduction For the assessment of species specific characters it is necessary to have larvae for which the specific identification is certain. Only by rearing larvae to adults can this be achieved. Some years ago we began collecting larvae and rearing them to adult. When successful, this provides the adult and the pupal and larval exuviae. The pupal exuviae enable accurate identifications using the keys of Langton (1991) and Langton & Visser (2003). (The pupal exuviae of C rypto chironomus defectus (Kieffer) was not included in the earlier key, but as a result of our rearing program, has been included in the 2003 one.) The adults of Cryptochironomus are very difficult to separate. Morozova has also investigated the larvae cytologically. When all instars of all species have been obtained, it will be possible to make a full revision of the genus; Morozova has embarked on this. In the meantime, the interpretation of the species is that of Langton & Visser (2003). -

THE CHIRONOMIDAE OF OTSEGO LAKE WITH KEYS TO THE IMMATURE STAGES OF THE SUBFAMILIES TANYPODINAE AND DIAMESINAE (DIPTERA) Joseph P. Fagnani Willard N. Harman BIOLOGICAL FIELD STATION COOPERSTOWN, NEW YORK OCCASIONAL PAPER NO. 20 AUGUST, 1987 BIOLOGY DEPARTMENT STATE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE AT ONEONTA THIS MANUSCRIPT IS NOT A FORMAL PUBLICATION. The information contained herein may not be cited or reproduced without permission of the author or the S.U.N.Y. Oneonta Biology Department ABSTRACT The species of Chironomidae inhabiting Otsego Lake, New York, were studied from 1979 through 1982. This report presents the results of a variety of collecting methods used in a diversity of habitats over a considerable temporal period. The principle emphasis was on sound taxonomy and rearing to associate immatures and adults. Over 4,000 individual rearings have provided the basis for description of general morphological stages that occur during the life cycles of these species. Keys to the larvae and pupae of the 4 subfamilies and 10 tribes of Chironomidae collected in Otsego Lake were compiled. Keys are also presented for the immature stages of 12 Tanypodinae and 2 Diamesinae species found in Otsego Lake. Labeled line drawings of the majority of structures and measurements used to identify the immature stages of most species of chironomids were adapted from the literature. Extensive photomicrographs are presented along with larval and pupal characteristics, taxonomic notes, synonymies, recent literature accounts and collection records for 17 species. These include: Chironominae Paratendipes albimanus (Meigen) (Chironomini); Ortl10cladiinae Psectrocladius (Psectrocladius) simulans (Johannsen) and I!ydrobaenus johannseni (Sublette); Diamesinae - Protanypus ramosus Saether (Protanypodini) and Potthastia longimana Kieffer (Diamesini); and Tanypodinae - Clinotanypus (Clinotanypus) pinguis (Loew) (Coelotanypodini), Tanypu~ (Tanypus) punctipennis Meigen (Tanypodini), Procladius (Psilotanypus) bellus (Loew); Var. -

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The chironomid diversity of Central America is virtually underestimated and there is almost no knowledge on the chirono- mid remains accumulated in surface sediments of lakes. Thus, in the present study we provide information on the larval sub-fossil chironomid fauna from surface sediments in Central American lakes for the first time. Samples from 27 lakes analysed from Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras yielded a total of 1,109 remains of four subfamilies. Fifty genera have been identified, containing at least 85 morphospecies. With 45 taxa, Chironominae were the most specious and also most abundant subfamily. Tanypodinae with 14 taxa dominated in about one third of the sites. Orthocladiinae were pre- sented by 24 taxa, but were recorded in 9 sites, being dominant in only one site. -
Verspreiding En Ecologie Van De Dansmug GLYPTOTENDIPES OSPELI in Nederland (Diptera: Chironomidae)
verspreiding en ecologie van de dansmug GLYPTOTENDIPES OSPELI in nederland (diptera: chironomidae) David Tempelman De dansmug Glyptotendipes ospeli is genoemd naar de eerste vindplaats Ospel in de Peelstreek. In totaal zijn nu 36 Nederlandse vondsten bekend. Tot nu toe is de soort buiten Nederland slechts eenmaal gevonden, in Wit-Rusland. Het merendeel van de waarnemingen is gedaan in stedelijk gebied. Opvallend genoeg lijken de larven gebonden aan vrij verontreinigd water en mogelijk zijn ze ook geassocieerd met mos- diertjes. Het is niet duidelijk of deze dansmug vroeger niet herkend werd als aparte soort, of dat de biotoop onderbemonsterd is. De muggen zijn nog nooit in het veld gevonden, maar alleen uit kweek bekend. inleiding (Klink & Moller Pillot 1996, Moller Pillot & Beuk in druk).

In dit artikel worden de gegevens over de versprei- ding en ecologie van G. ospeli samengevat. De ge- presenteerde onderzoeksgegevens hebben alleen betrekking op veldgegevens van de larven.

FLIES of the family CHIRONOMIDA.E may be distinguished from other Nematocerous families of Diptera by the following combination of charac ters : Ocelli absent ; antennae hairy (especially in d') ; six to eight veins reaching wing-margin; one or both anal veins not reaching margin; vein M simple; cross-veins R-M and M-CU (latter when present) near middle of wing. The reduced mouthparts and the fact that the costa is not con tinued around the entire wing provide simple distinctions from CuLICIDAE, to which family some groups bear a superficial resemblance. The closely related CERA.TOPOGONIDA.E (" biting midges ") were formerly included in the CHIRONOMIDA.E (" non-biting midges"), and differ most obviously by the forked vein M ; head rounded behind instead of flattened ; postnotum without a distinct median longitudinal furrow or keel, which is present in most CHIRONOMIDA.E . -

BECK AND WILLIAM M. BECK, JR.2 SYNOPSIS: Reared chironomids from Florida, which American authors have classified as belonging to the genera Cryptochironomus or Harnischia, were studied and placed in four genera described by European authors. Larva, pupa, and adult of each species are described, and in classifying the 16 Florida species the following taxonomic changes are noted: Tendipes tenuicau- datus, Chironomus directus, Chironomus sublettei, Harnischia carinata, Chironomus hirtatatus, Tendipes pectinatettae, and Chironomus alatus are now placed in the genus Parachironomus. Hamischia casuaria is made a species of the genus Crl/ptotendipes, and Chironomus undin€ is placed in the genus Paracladopelma. Two new species are described: Parachironomus schneideri and Paraclado- pelma loganae.
