Rheotanytarsus baihualingensis and R. diaoluoensis (Diptera: Chironomidae), Two New Species from Oriental China

DNA barcodes and morphology reveal new species within the Rheotanytarsus guineensis species group from China (Diptera: Chironomidae)

“…Larvae of Rheotanytarsus are rheobiontic and usually found in large rivers, streams, and brooks, but also in the littoral of lakes (Epler et al, 2013). The species of the genus Rheotanytarsus are plentiful in tropical rainforests (Sæther & Kyerematen, 2001; Wang et al, 2022; Yao et al, 2022). Rheotanytarsus has been revised and divided into 15 species groups and followed by a number of researchers over the last few decades (e.g., Hazra et al, 2016; Liu et al, 2022; Moubayed‐Breil et al, 2012; Qi et al, 2022).…”
