“…In the present study, we also noted that some larvae had one mandible with five teeth and the other four teeth. Warwick (1990), Wise et al (2001), Al-Shami (2010), and Youbi et al (2020) also reported this type of malformation in the genus Chironomus [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ]. The number of branches in seta interna documented in our study overlapped with that reported by Usher and Edwards (1984) [ 13 ].…”

“…The Chironomidae have been used in the classification of aquatic systems according to their eutrophication and the degree of toxicity by heavy metals [70,73,74]. In plus, Paleolimnologists have also used Chironomidae as environmental and climatic indicators in retrospective studies of the great lakes to know their life history [75].…”

“…Impacto de efluentes mineros… [104] considerados para evaluar la calidad ecológica de los ríos (Shahady & Boniface, 2018;Springer, 2010). Cabe destacar la alta abundancia de la familia Chironomidae, al ser un buen indicador de alteraciones en la calidad del agua, normalmente por compuestos orgánicos y metales pesados (Borkent & Dominiak, 2020;Deliberalli et al, 2018;Youbi et al, 2020). Tabla 2.…”
