“…Kieffer (1918) erected this genus based on Chironomus ( Cryptochironomus ) chlorolobus Kieffer, 1918 as type species. Subsequently, the genus in all its life stages was studied by a number of authors ( Townes 1945 ; Roback 1957 ; Curry 1958 ; Shilova 1966 ; Beck and Beck 1969 ; Sæther 1977 , 2009 ; Sasa and Kikuchi 1995 ; Sasa 1998 ; Zorina 2000 ; Makarchenko et al 2005 ; Silva et al 2010 ; Yan et al 2016 ).…”

New species, a new combination, and DNA barcodes of Parachironomus Lenz, 1921 (Diptera, Chironomidae)

“…Among the Harnischia generic group, members of Parachironomus can separated from the similar genus Demicryptochironomus Lenz by the extended superior volsella with several distal setae always arising from distinct pits, and the inferior volsella with a pointed or blunt caudal projection ( Yan et al 2015 ). To date, 85 valid species have been reported worldwide ( Lehmann 1970 ; Ashe and Cranston 1990 ; Kikuchi and Sasa 1990 ; Oliver et al 1990 ; Sæther et al 2000 ; Wang 2000 ; Sasa et al 2001 ; Sasa and Tanaka 2001 ; Makarchenko et al 2005 ; Spies 2008 ; Trivinho-Strixino et al 2010 ; Yan et al 2015 ; Orel 2017 ).…”

Synorthocladius federicoi sp. nov., a new species occurring in the middle basin of the Adige River, northern Italy (Diptera, Chironomidae, Orthocladiinae)

“…According to data on the taxonomy and geographical distribution of known Synorthocladius species from the Palaearctic and neighbouring biogeographical regions ( Pankratova 1970 ; Sasa and Yamamoto 1977 ; Sasa 1981 ; Cranston et al 1989 ; Reiss 1989 ; Evrard 1995 ; Liu and Wang 2005 ; Langton and Pinder 2007 ; Lencioni et al 2011 , 2012 , 2018 ; Ashe and O’Connor 2012 ; Moubayed-Breil and Ashe 2012 ; Plociennik and Pesic 2012 ; Sæther and Spies 2013 ; Plociennik and Karaouzas 2014 ; Makarchenko and Makarchenko 2017 ; Kettani and Moubayed-Breil 2018 ; Murray et al 2018 ; Yavorskaya et al 2018 ; Rossaro et al 2019 ; Moubayed-Breil 2020 ), there are eight valid species of the genus worldwide, of which only one, S. semivirens (Kieffer, 1909), was reported from Europe. The present description of S. federicoi sp.…”
