“…A genus with > 60 described species distributed throughout most zoogeographic regions except Antarctica. The Neotropical species were reviewed by Pinho and Andersen (2021) . The larvae inhabit littoral and sublittoral soft sediments of lakes, streams, and rivers ( Epler et al 2013 ).…”

“…During the last two decades, several new species have been described based on material from Mexico ( Kyerematen et al 2000 ; Kyerematen and Andersen 2002 ; Wang et al 2006 ; Vinogradova 2008 ; Andersen et al 2010 , 2016 ; Wiedenbrug et al 2012 ; Pinho et al 2013 ; Acosta et al 2017 ; Pinho and Andersen 2021 ; Andersen 2023 ). Several species and genera have also been recorded for the first time from Mexico, especially in connection with surveys of particular habitats like the aquatic fauna in spring-fed tropical canyons in the southern Sonora desert ( Bogan et al 2014 ), or subfossil Chironomidae in surface sediments of the sinkholes of the Yucatan Peninsula ( Hamerlík et al 2018 ).…”

An updated checklist of Mexican non-biting midges (Chironomidae) is presented. A total of 110 species of Chironomidae are known for Mexico: 52 species in 25 genera belong to the subfamily Chironominae, 30 species in 13 genera to Orthocladiinae, 21 species in nine genera to Tanypodinae, five species in two genera to Telmatogetoninae, and two species in one genus to Diamesinae. In addition, 41 genera without identified species are listed. The highest number of species (29) is recorded from the state of Campeche, while 19 species have been found in Veracruz and 15 in Nuevo León. Few or no records exist for states in Central and Northern Mexico, or those on the Pacific coast. The type localities for 34 species are in Mexico; of these, 27 species (25% of the total number of species recorded in the country) are endemic. Twenty-nine species recorded in Mexico have a Neotropical distribution, 15 a Nearctic distribution, and 39 species are distributed in both the Neotropical and Nearctic regions or more widely. It has been suggested that as many as 1000 species might occur in Mexico; so only a little more than 10% of the expected diversity has so far been recorded.
