“…Larvae of Tanytarsus are eurytopic, occurring in all types of freshwater and some even in marine or terrestrial environments (Epler et al 2013). The genus was erected by van der Wulp (1874) with T. signatus (van der Wulp, 1859) as the type species, and various species groups and species have been revised over the last few decades (Cranston 2000;Ekrem 2001Ekrem , 2002Ekrem , 2004Ekrem et al 2003;Giłka & Paasivirta 2009;Glover 1973;Lindeberg 1963Lindeberg , 1967Reiss & Fittkau 1971;Sanseverino 2006).…”

“…By this characterization, there are eight hitherto known species in the T. curticornis species complex. Six of these species are known from the Holarctic region: Tanytarsus brundini, Lindeberg, 1963, T. curticornis Kieffer, 1911, T. ikicedeus Sasa & Suzuki, 1999, T. neotamaoctavus Ree, Jeong & Nam, 2011, T. salmelai Giłka & Paasivirta, 2009, T. tamaoctavus Sasa, 1980 and two that are Afrotropical: Tanytarsus congus Lehmann, 1981, T. pseudocongus Ekrem, 1999 (Edwards 1929;Ekrem 1999Ekrem , 2001Giłka & Paasivirta 2009;Kieffer 1911;Lehmann 1981;Lindeberg 1963;Ree et al 2011;Reiss & Fittkau 1971;Sasa 1980). The T. heusdensis complex includes four species occurring in the Palaearctic region: T. heusdensis Goetghebuer, 1923, T. reei Na & Bae, T. heusdensis species complex, the minimum interspecific genetic distance is 16% between T. heusdensis and T. adustus sp.…”

For over a decade, DNA barcoding has proven an effective modern tool in taxonomy, evolutionary biology and biodiversity research. Many new species have been discovered and described with DNA barcodes as part of their diagnostic features. Using DNA barcodes, we uncovered a number of potential species within the Tanytarsus curticornis and Tanytarsus heusdensis species complexes (Diptera: Chironomidae) and detected morphological differences a posteriori that support the description of new species. Unusually large intraspecific divergence in COI p-distance (up to 10%) was observed for two species complexes. In total, eight species new to science are described and figured: T. adustus sp. n., T. heberti sp. n., T. madeiraensis sp. n., T. pseudoheusdensis sp. n., T. songi sp. n., T. thomasi sp. n., T. tongmuensis sp. n. and T. wangi sp. n.. Tanytarsus reei and T. tamaoctavus are redescribed, and T. tusimatneous is listed as a new junior synonym of T. tamaduodecimus. The diagnostic characters of the remaining species of the complexes are discussed. Keys to males and pupae are given.

Adult chironomids were collected by various methods, such as light traps, sweeping on grasses, aspiration of light-attracted adults, and sweeping of swarming males with insect nets at various localities. All collected specimens were slide-mounted and identified. I report eight species new to science: Chironomus jangchungensis n. sp., Demicryptochironomus paracamptolabis n. sp., Demicryptochironomus wontongensis n. sp., Microtendipes paratamagouti n. sp., Polypedilum macrohemisphere n. sp., Eukiefferiella busanensis n. sp., Psectrocladius paratogaminimus n. sp., and Pseudosmittia seosania n. sp. I also report four species for the first time in Korea: Chironomus fujiprimus Sasa, Pentapedilum convexum Johannsen, Tanytarsus smolandicus Brundin, and Tanytarsus oyamai Sasa. All species are fully described with illustrations. This is the first report of the genera Eukiefferiella and Pseudosmittia in Korea.

“…This species was originally described as a member of Tanytarsus, but both the original description and examination of the holotype reveal that it belongs to Zavrelia. This was recognized by Ekrem (2002). Zavrelia tusimatijea has so far only been recorded from its type locality on Tsushima Island in the Korea Strait and this record constitutes the southernmost distribution of Zavrelia in the Palaearctic region.…”
