“…The North-West Basin fauna stands out with the highest number of species of Orthocladiinae, Tanypodinae and Chironominae (Figure 4). Similarly to the localities in the high Atlas Mountains (Kettani et al, 2001), in the North-Eastern Basin Diamasinae are relatively well represented, while in the Ichkeul National Park Orthocladiinae are represented by a higher number of species than in the other areas. The Orthocladiinae (Eukiefferiella coerulescens, Tvetenia discoloripes, Orthocladius frigidus, Orthocladius rivulorum, Rheocricotopus effusus, Rheocricotopus fuscipes) and Tanytarsini (mainly Tanytarsus spp.…”

“…Mediterranean Coast (Chaib et al, 2011(Chaib et al, , 2013Kettani et al, 2001;Kettani and Langton, 2011), mainly typical Paelearctic taxa, common also in Europe, occur in North Tunisia. Its geological structure and relief provide a place for diverse habitats of temporary streams (wadi), stagnant waters and wetlands.…”

“…In contrast to the Algerian river system (Chaib et al, 2013), for instance in the Moroccan Rif region (Kettani and Langton, 2011), Chironominae is the subfamily richest in the number of recorded species. The Cricotopus species are widespread in Algeria and Morocco (Kettani et al, 2001;Chaib et al, 2013), C. bicinctus, C. sylvestris, C. vierriensis and C. trifascia, as well as Polypedilum cultellatum, have not been, or are only rarely noted, in North Tunisia. The North-West Basin fauna stands out with the highest number of species of Orthocladiinae, Tanypodinae and Chironominae (Figure 4).…”

“…As a result, fauna of wadi is relatively poor compared to continental European Mediterranean regions (Giudicelli et al, 1985;Lounaci et al, 2000a). The chironomid fauna of North-West Africa has been relatively well recognized in Marocco (Kettani et al, 2001;Langton, 2011), Algeria (Moubayed et al, 2007;Chaib et al, 2011Chaib et al, , 2013 while much less in Tunisia (Boumaiza, 1988). All faunistic data on non-biting midges in Tunisia have been summarized in the checklist of Chironomidae species recorded in this country (Boumaiza and Laville, 1998).…”

“…Prior works devoted to this family of Diptera already made it possible to record for Morocco a checklist of chironomids (KETTANI et al 2001). However, new collections in protected areas in the north of Morocco allow us to add additional species for the Rif and some new for the whole of the Moroccan territory.…”

New data on the Chironomidae (Diptera) of the Rif (Northern Morocco) New collections of pupal exuviae of chironomids in various fresh water ecosystems in the Rif in the north of Morocco revealed an interesting inventory. The chironomid community collected is diverse enough and interesting, and rare species are present. Of a total of 141 identified taxa, 46 species have proved to be new for the Rif and 31 for Morocco. The chorological tendency is mainly Palaearctic and Mediterranean. The majority of the sites investigated belong to protected areas in the north of Morocco, such as SIBE Jbel Moussa, SIBE Jbel Tidirrhine, SIBE Jbel Bouhachem and Talassemtane National Park, which belong to the Intercontinental Reserve of the Mediterranean Biosphere.

Midges of the genus Pseudodiamesa Goetghebuer (Diptera, Chironomidae): current knowledge and palaeoecological perspective

Larvae of the genus Pseudodiamesa Goetghebuer, which includes 12 described valid species and is divided by Makarchenko and Makarchenko (1999) into two species groups, Pseudodiamesa branickii group and Pseudodiamesa nivosa group, are widespread in lakes and running waters of cold, high-latitude and high-altitude areas of the Northern Hemisphere. Larval remains of the genus are often found in subfossil assemblages from these cold regions, but intra-genus morphotypes usually are not distinguished by palaeoecologists. Current knowledge of the ecology of the species indicates that the Pseudodiamesa nivosa group is more cold-adapted than the Pseudodiamesa branickii group and, therefore, these two intra-genus morphotypes cannot be amalgamated into a larger taxonomic unit without losing substantial information. Here we present the morphological characters of head capsules of Pseudodiamesa larvae attributed to the different speciesgroup morphotypes, which are clearly visible in subfossil specimens. The information summarized in this paper will help provide more reliable chironomid-based palaeoclimatic inferences from lake sediment records covering colder phases through the late Quaternary in the Northern Hemisphere.
