“…Tanytarsus fuscithorax is widely distributed in Australia and also recorded from West Bengal in India (Chaudhuri et al 1984). Specimens from India have not been available for examination, so this record cannot be confirmed.…”

Descriptions of immature stages and complete diagnoses of Tanytarsus barbitarsis Freeman, Tanytarsus fuscithorax Skuse, Tanytarsus semibarbitarsus Glover and Tanytarsus formosanus Kieffer as well as diagnoses of adult males of Tanytarsus nichollsi Glover, Tanytarsus subinextentus Glover, Tanytarsus inextentus Skuse, and Tanytarsus paskevillensis Glover are given. Tanytarsus dycei Glover is shown to be a synonym of Tanytarsus formosanus. All species are potential members of the Tanytarsus mendax, Tanytarsus gregarius, Tanytarsus eminulus or Tanytarsus lugens species groups, but only three species fit the group diagnoses.

“…Before the present account, only one species, Paratanytarsus albus was described by Chaudhuri et al (1984) from India. This article reports an additional species of the genus from India and names another one, thus raising the number of representatives of Paratanytarsus in India to three.…”

“…However, about 30% of these are unrecognizable from the original descriptions and currently are regarded as nomina dubia. A few Micropsectra species have been described from areas outside the Holarctic region: Micropsectra candida Chaudhuri & Datta, 1991 (below regarded as a new junior synonym of M. pallidula ) and Micropsectra clava Chaudhuri et al ., 1984 from West Bengal, India; Micropsectra lacteiclava (Grimshaw, 1901), Micropsectra bryanti (Hardy, 1960), Micropsectra hawaiiensis (Hardy, 1960) and Micropsectra kaalae (Hardy, 1960) from Hawaii; and Micropsectra atitlanensis Sublette & Sasa, 1994 from Guatemala (Grimshaw, 1901; Hardy, 1960; Chaudhuri, Guha & Gosh, 1984; Chaudhuri & Datta, 1991; Sublette & Sasa, 1994). Freeman (1955) described Micropsectra capicola from South Africa, but the species has been designated type species of the genus Nidnurbia by Säwedal (1982a).…”

“…However, the roundish setiger of the superior volsella indicates that the species is a member of the atrofasciata group. Compared to the original drawings (Chaudhuri et al ., 1984), the holotype has distinctly more setae on the wing surface, and a longer, more pointed anal point apex. Micropsectra clava appears to be close to M. zernyi in the shape of the digitus and shape and setation of the inferior volsella, but can possibly be separated by a lower AR (0.5 vs. 0.8 in M. zerny ) although there is a noticable difference in the wing length of the two holotypes (1.82 vs. 2.11).…”

Phylogenetic relations among selected Micropsectra (Diptera: Chironomidae) species are inferred using mitochondrial COII gene sequences and morphological characters. Both maximum parsimony and Bayesian analyses indicate a monophyletic atrofasciata species group. However, some species morphologically similar to M. atrofasciata (Kieffer) in the adult male, i.e. M. appendica sp. nov. and M. logani (Johannsen), are placed outside the atrofasciata group in the gene trees. The phylogenetic hypotheses based on parsimony analyses of the combined molecular and morphological data sets weakly support a monophyletic atrofasciata group including M. appendica sp. nov. and M. logani if third positions in the COII gene sequences are excluded. In the taxonomic part of this study, adult males, pupae and larvae of Micropsectra aristata Pinder, M. atrofasciata,M. bavarica sp. nov., M. klinki sp. nov., M. logani, M. pallidula (Meigen) and M. schrankelae sp. nov., and adult males and pupae of M. appendica sp. nov. and M. sofiae sp. nov. as well as adult males of M. andalusiaca Marcuzzi, M. calcifontis sp. nov.,M. freyi Storå, M. longicrista sp. nov., M. robusta sp. nov., and M. zernyi Marcuzzi are described and diagnosed. Micropsectra bidentata (Goetghebuer), M. jokaquarta Sasa & Ogata, M. miki Marcuzzi, M. pallida Goetghebuer, M. subnitens Goetghebuer, M. suecica (Kieffer) and M. shouharasima Sasa are new junior synonyms of M. atrofasciata; Micropsectra groenlandica Andersen and M. utonaitertia Sasa are new junior synonyms of M. logani; Micropsectra candida Chaudhuri & Datta, M. franzi Goetghebuer and M. viridiscutellata Goetghebuer are new junior synonyms of M. pallidula. Comments on the ecology, distribution and systematics of each species are provided. Keys to all known life stages are presented, as well as an annotated list of species morphologically similar to species in the atrofasciata group and nomina dubia in the atrofasciata group. Chironomus mimulus Holmgren is transferred to the genus Micropsectra. © 2006 The Linnean Society of London, Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2006, 146, 165–225.
