“…A genus of ~ 60 named species that occur in all zoogeographical regions, except Antarctica. Four species are described from South America ( da Silva et al 2010 ). Larvae occur on various substrates in lakes, small streams, and larger rivers ( Epler et al 2013 ).…”

An updated checklist of Mexican non-biting midges (Chironomidae) is presented. A total of 110 species of Chironomidae are known for Mexico: 52 species in 25 genera belong to the subfamily Chironominae, 30 species in 13 genera to Orthocladiinae, 21 species in nine genera to Tanypodinae, five species in two genera to Telmatogetoninae, and two species in one genus to Diamesinae. In addition, 41 genera without identified species are listed. The highest number of species (29) is recorded from the state of Campeche, while 19 species have been found in Veracruz and 15 in Nuevo León. Few or no records exist for states in Central and Northern Mexico, or those on the Pacific coast. The type localities for 34 species are in Mexico; of these, 27 species (25% of the total number of species recorded in the country) are endemic. Twenty-nine species recorded in Mexico have a Neotropical distribution, 15 a Nearctic distribution, and 39 species are distributed in both the Neotropical and Nearctic regions or more widely. It has been suggested that as many as 1000 species might occur in Mexico; so only a little more than 10% of the expected diversity has so far been recorded.

“…Although new species of Chironomidae have recently been described from South America (Silva et al, 2010(Silva et al, , 2012(Silva et al, , 2014a(Silva et al, , 2014bOliveira and Silva, 2011;Trivinho-Strixino and Silva, 2011;Dantas and Hamada, 2013;Trivinho-Strixino et al, 2013Andersen and Pinho, 2014;Siri and Donato, 2015), none of these studies focused on biological processes such as vicariance, dispersal and extinction in a biogeographical context. To address these questions, a 2-year study, entitled "Understanding the ancient origin of South American biodiversity: a molecular perspective on the evolution and biogeography of non-biting midges (Diptera: Chironomidae)" and supported by the CAPES Foundation, Ministry of Education of Brazil, and the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University, began in 2014.…”

We present data on Chironomidae (Insecta: Diptera) collected in South America together with results on the mitochondrial DNA diversity within selected megadiverse genera. This work is part of an ongoing project on the ancient origin of South American biodiversity using non-biting midges. Collections were made at 42 localities, in March 2014 and February 2015, in a diverse array of habitats, including small streams, rivers, ponds, lakes and bays. In total, 3196 representatives of six subfamilies were collected. Sixty-one genera were identified, containing at least 211 species. The subfamilies Chironominae and Orthocladiinae predominated in all samples. Tanypodinae were often present, but rarely in large numbers. Except for Podonomus pepinellii, reported from Brazil, Podonominae were collected in a few localities in Argentina (Arroyo Lopez, and Arroyo Gutierrez and Gutierrez Lake) and Chile (Llanquihue Lake). Prodiamesinae were only recorded in Chile. Analysis of DNA barcode sequences using neighbor-joining estimation supported 66 species within the selected genera. The chironomid fauna of South America includes multiple genera with worldwide distributions, with Australian, Nearctic and Neotropical components.

The genus Cryptochironomus has a cosmopolitan distribution including over 140 valid described species worldwide. The morphological characteristics and DNA barcode data of Cryptochironomus inflatus Liu, sp. nov. based on specimens collected from Oriental China. DNA barcode analysis including the partial COI sequences of species of genus Cryptochironomus is conducted. An updated key to adult males of the genus is provided.
