“…In Riethia , a lobe called the digitus bears simple and/or pectinate (“moth-like”) setae or scales [ 16 ], while among Tanytarsini (here considered the only Chironominae having a true digitus) no such structures have been observed, aside from small humps or swellings on the smooth/bare surface (cf. [ 19 , 20 ]), or, exceptionally, a single fine seta or minute serrations at most [ 21 , 22 ] ( Fig 11 ).…”

This is the first study focused on Eocene dipterans of the tribe Pseudochironomini (subfamily Chironominae, family Chironomidae), based on unique materials from Baltic amber. Two new genera and three new species: Eomicromimus gen. nov. with Eomicromimus polliciformis sp. nov. and Eomicromimus serpens sp. nov., and Eoriethia gen. nov. with Eoriethia ursipes sp. nov. are presented. The systematic position of the new taxa is discussed, and an amended key to the identification of adult males of extinct and extant Pseudochironomini genera is provided. The presented analysis of the morphology of the tribe’s fossil members allowed us to verify the concepts regarding the origin/homology of male diagnostic structures crucial in defining new taxa, their phylogeny, and to consolidate the terminology used in chironomid research. A new habitual name for Chironomidae, “mime midges”, is also proposed.

“…Finally, the males of C. mancus (Walker, 1856) [or the C. mancus group sensu Giłka (2001)], often misidentified with C. nigrovittatus, should also be included in this comparison. They differ in the length proportions of the median volsella stem-lamellae (the stem longer relative to its lamellae in C. bilyji), the number of lamellae (greater in C. bilyji), and the arrangement of median setae on the anal tergite (dispersed in C. mancus).…”

Two species of the genus Cladotanytarsus Kieffer, 1921 are described as adult males, both peculiar in having distinctively elongated hypopygial anal points. The male of Cladotanytarsus bilyji Giłka et Puchalski, sp. nov. (Canada, Manitoba; USA, Ohio) is presumed to be a close relative of C. nigrovittatus (Goetghebuer, 1922). Another unknown Cladotanytarsus species (USA, Illinois and Louisiana) keys with the European C. donmcbeani Langton et McBean, 2010. The intraspecific variability of the male C. acornutus Jacobsen et Bilyj, 2007 is also presented on the basis of new records (Canada, Ontario; USA, South Carolina). Cladotanytarsus males with similarly structured elongate anal points are reviewed, including C. tobaquardecimus Kikuchi et Sasa, 1990, considered a junior synonym (syn. nov.) of C. conversus (Johannsen, 1932). As a compilation of this study, a key to the identification of the adult males of 14 Cladotanytarsus species is provided.
