چکیده
The paper describes larval, pupal and adult morphology as well as the karyotype of Chironomus polonicus sp. n. from southern Poland. The material has been obtained from reared egg masses collected in Bolesław pool, near Kraków. The species belongs to the pseudothummi cytocomplex with 2n = 8 and chromosome arm combinations AE, BF, CD, G. Several homozygous inversions distinguish arm A of the new species from that of C. pseudothummi Strenzke. Arm F is similar to that of C. aprilinus Meigen and differs from it by few steps of homozygous inversions. Few morphological differences in the pupa and adult are also presented.

Polytene chromosomes of chironomid larvae (Diptera: Chironomidae), collected on the Wrangel Island are described. Larvae have 2n=8: AB, CD, EF, G (Ch. thummi Keyl, 1962 complex). By karyotype larvae are identical to Chironomus sp. Le1, described from the Sagystyr Island of the Ust-Lena Reserve (Yakutia) (Kiknadze et al., 1996). The insignificant differences include the number of nucleoli and pu...
متن کاملUsing various lines of evidence to identify Chironomus species (Diptera: Chironomidae) in eastern Canadian lakes.
Chironomus Meigen (Diptera, Chironomidae) larvae are usually the largest sediment-burrowing chironomids, and as such often constitute a major part of the freshwater infaunal biomass. However, use of this genus in ecological, environmental and paleoecological studies is hampered by the fact that Chironomus larvae are difficult to identify to species because the larvae of many species are morphol...
