“…Among all Endochironomus species detailed cytophotomaps of polytene chromosomes have been earlier compiled only for Endochironomus tendens Fabricius, 1775 (Durnova 2009), so a comparative analysis of polytene chromosomes of Endochironomus tendens , Endochironomus albipennis and Endochironomus sp. is currently hampered.…”

“…The evolution of Endochironomus tendens apparently proceeded as a narrow specialization because larvae of this species are the typical miners in the tissues of littoral macrophytes (Kalugina 1963, Durnova 2009). Larvae of Endochironomus albipennis are eurybiontic and inhabit different biotopes being epibiotic organisms of different submerged littoral substrata in the water bodies.…”

Based upon the detailed chromosome map of polytene chromosomes of the eurybiont species Endochironomus albipennis Meigen, 1830, the localization of the centromere regions using a C-banding technique is defined. Chromosomal polymorphism in populations from two water bodies in the Volga region has been studied, 17 sequences are described. Polytene chromosomes of Endochironomus sp. (2n=6), having larvae morphologically similar to those of Endochironomus albipennis Meigen, 1830 (2n=6) are described for the first time.
