The red larvae found in many aquatic habitats, commonly called -I'he bloodworms, belong to this group of insects. number of species in an aquatic habitat may"comprise ouet 5O% of the total number of species of the larger invertebrates. Larval densities over 30 000/mz are not unusual. The tolal number of species occurring in Canada is probably over 2000. Despite the common occurrence of chironomid larvae in the freshwaters of Canada their taxonomy has been little studied, although recently there has been an increase in taxonomic literature about larvae (e.g., Srther 1969-80; Oliver l97lb, 1976, 1977; Oliver et al. 1978; Cairnings l9Z5; and Soponis lS77). The neglect is due partly to- the small size of many species, superficial similarity in appearance wlthln many groups, and'thi large number of species in a particular habitat. But it is ilso d.,e to the facithat microscope slide preparation and microscopic examination at high poI{'er is necessary to reveal the structural characters used in naming them. This presents the non-taxonomist with a bewilder- ing array of stirctural variarion, which is not easily handled because of the lack of taxonomic literature. Therefore an extensive section on anatomy is given to assist the non-taxonomist in identifying larvae. General sec- tio"ns on classification, biology, and collecting, preserving, and preparing are also provided. This publicarion gives keys for the identification of the last larval stage of tiZ oI the 133 genera of chironomids known to occur in Canada. tn iddition, each genui has been provided with a brief description and notes on its geographic distribution and habitat. Where.possible the keys and clescripiioti ai. based on specimens associated with adults, as the taxonomy bf chironomids is largely based on the adult male. Specimens on which this publication are based, come-primarily from ."nttul Canada, the Canadian northwest, and the islands of the Arctic Archepelago. Limited larval material was available from huge tracts of Canada r,_,ih as the Atlantic Provinces, the Prairie Provinces, British Columbia, and southern Yukon. Therefbre this publication is only an introduction to the study of Canadian chironomid larvae, as many genera and species remain to be discovered. The manuscript for this publication was cbmpleted in early 1980, but some generic name changes published since then have been included. Bilingual keys are provided and Figs. l-15 appear twice in order to show the labelinq in English and French. Classif ication The classification of chironomids at the familial and subfamilial level is confusing to the non-taxonomist. Two family names, Chironomidae and I-endipedidae, have been used. Similarly several subfamily narnes have been repeatedly interchanged; 'I'anypodinae with Pelopiinae; Chir- onominae with Tendipedinae; and Orthocladiinae with Hydrobaeninae. This instability was due primarily to two papers published by Meigen (1800, 1803). Each paper proposed a different ser of'names fbr the same insects. The earlier paper was unknor,vn for about 100 years and during this period the names proposed in the 1803 paper gained acceprance. 'f here has been much discussion about the use of' the 1800 names versus the 1803 names (see Stone 194I ; Oldroyd 1966) and it is sufficient to nore that nomenclature used in this publication is in accordance with the ruling of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (see Fitt- kau 1966), which suppressed the use of the Meieen I 800 names in favor of the 1803 names. Thus Chzronomus Meiqen, 1803 and Chironominae are used in place of Tendipes Meigen. 1800 and Tendipedinae, and T'anypus and Tanypodinae in place of Pelopia and Pelopiinae. Consequently the f amily name is Chironomidae, not Tendipedidae. Although nor covered by a ruling of the International Commission on Zoological"N,rmenclature it is generally accepted that Orthocladiinae be used, nirt Hydrobaeninae. The subfamilial classification used here follor,r,s that of Brundin (1966) as modified by Sather (1977b). Seven subfamilies are recognized: 'I'anypodinae, Podonominae, Chironominae, Orthocladiinae, Pro- diamesinae, Diamesinae, and Telmatosetoninae. I Most of'the subfamilies have tribal divisions-see follorving section on Systematic position of Canadian genera of Chironomidae. Although a number of tribal names have been used in the Orthocladiinae (see Biundin 1966), none are used here. Srthe r (1977 b) has briefly reviewed the group relationships r,vithin the Orthocladiinae and suggested that until more is known about the immature and f'emale stages the subfamily should remain undivided. It should be noted that the tribe Calopsectrini (Townes lS45),widely used in North American literature, is equivalent to Tanytarsini. The generic level classification generally follows that of Hamilton et al. ( 1969). It has been modified to incorporare new informarion published between 1969 and early 1980 (Hansen and Cook 1976; Hirvenoja 1973; Roback l97l; S:ether 1969-80; and Soponis 1977). The classification of Hamilton et al. ( 1969) was based on a number of maior revisions, includ- ins those of Brundin (1956, 1966), Fittkau ( 1962), Pagast (19471, f-ownes (1945), and Wirth (1949). This classification adapted the European con- cept of small genera (Beck and Beck 1968) to the Nearctic fauna, thus dif f'ering considerably from the broader generic concepts used by North American workers (e.e., Sublette and Sublette 1965).

  • 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.

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).

  • Ceh Code List for Recording the Macroinvertebrates in Fresh Water in the British Isles
    01 OCTOBER 2011 CEH CODE LIST FOR RECORDING THE MACROINVERTEBRATES IN FRESH WATER IN THE BRITISH ISLES CYNTHIA DAVIES AND FRANÇOIS EDWARDS CEH Code List For Recording The Macroinvertebrates In Fresh Water In The British Isles October 2011 Report compiled by Cynthia Davies and François Edwards Centre for Ecology & Hydrology Maclean Building Benson Lane Crowmarsh Gifford, Wallingford Oxfordshire, OX10 8BB United Kingdom Purpose The purpose of this Coded List is to provide a standard set of names and identifying codes for freshwater macroinvertebrates in the British Isles. These codes are used in the CEH databases and by the water industry and academic and commercial organisations. It is intended that, by making the list as widely available as possible, the ease of data exchange throughout the aquatic science community can be improved. The list includes full listings of the aquatic invertebrates living in, or closely associated with, freshwaters in the British Isles. The list includes taxa that have historically been found in Britain but which have become extinct in recent times. Also included are names and codes for ‘artificial’ taxa (aggregates of taxa which are difficult to split) and for composite families used in calculation of certain water quality indices such as BMWP and AWIC scores. Current status The list has evolved from the checklist* produced originally by Peter Maitland (then of the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology) (Maitland, 1977) and subsequently revised by Mike Furse (Centre for Ecology & Hydrology), Ian McDonald (Thames Water Authority) and Bob Abel (Department of the Environment). That list was subject to regular revisions with financial support from the Environment Agency.

SUMMARY In a first list of chironomid species from Italy from 1988, 359 species were recognized. The subfamilies represented were Tanypodinae, Diamesinae, Prodiamesinae, Orthocladiinae and Chironominae. Most of the species were cited as widely distributed in the Palearctic region with few Mediterranean (6), Afrotropical (19) or Panpaleotropical (3) species. The list also included five species previously considered Nearctic. An updated list was thereafter prepared and the number of species raised to 391. Species new to science were added in the following years further raising the number of known species. The list of species known to occur in Italy is now updated to 580, and supported by voucher specimens. Most species have a Palearctic distribution, but many species are distributed in other biogeographical regions; 366 species are in common with the East Palaearctic region, 281 with the Near East, 248 with North Africa, 213 with the Nearctic, 104 with the Oriental, 23 species with the Neotropical, 23 with the Afrotropical, 16 with the Australian region, and 46 species at present are known to occur only in Italy.
