Introduction

The Chironomidae are a speciose family with over 5000 described species worldwide. The vernacular name for the family of `non-biting midges' derives from the weak development of the adult mandibles, in contrast to the sister group, the biting midges (Ceratopogonidae) in which the female mouthparts are often designed for taking a blood meal. For certain larvae, the name of `bloodworms' derives from the presence of the red blood pigment haemoglobin— but not all chironomid larvae are red.

Adult Chironomidae are most distinctive when the males form aerial swarms close to the natal site. In the male, the plumose antenna with elongate apical flagellomere is characteristic, and in both sexes the single branch of the wing vein M is diagnostic. Although adult chironomids are short-lived, their abundance in mass swarms close to eutrophic water bodies may cause nuisance, even inhalant allergies.

Chironomid larvae are apneustic, with one exception, the amphipneustic genus Archaeochlus whose larvae develop in pools on isolated granite outcrops in Western Australia and a few central Australian sites. The prolegs are nearly always present, and paired, on the prothorax and final abdominal segment. The head capsule is always prognathous (directed forwards) thus differentiating from Thaumaleidae. For 95% of aquatic species, separation from the Ceratopogonidae, can be made on the prolegs, which are paired and separate. A few Orthocladiinae confuse the situation, and it may be necessary to examine the pharyngeal apparatus which is strong, with divergent arms in ceratopogonid larvae, but weak in Chironomidae.

The ecology of the Chironomidae is very diverse and can scarcely be summarised except for the species-poor subfamilies. Thus larval Aphroteniinae are restricted to sandy substrates with overlying fine organic material. The Podonominae tend to cool stenothermy, are usually lotic, and are often limited to winter periods. The Tanypodinae are predominantly predators in late instars, though often feeding on diatoms, etc., in early instars. The Telmatogetoninae are exclusively marine and inter-tidal, as are a few Chironominae. The Chironominae are all aquatic as immatures, and have an extraordinary range of biologies, though there is a preponderance of eurythermic taxa compared to the other subfamilies. The Orthocladiinae tend more to cool stenothermy, but are very diverse and include riparian, terrestrial and phytotelm species.

Larval chironomid species track ecological conditions closely, and their distributions have long been used to assess water quality. This topic is well reviewed by Johnson (1995), in a volume that provides substantial reference to Australian studies of the ecology and systematics of the family (Cranston 1995). More general information on the family, its systematics, ecology and impacts upon humans are covered in Armitage et al. (1994). Cranton & Dimitriadis (2004) reported on larval chrionomids from the lakes of the Atherton Tableland and gave keys to subfamilies and genera.

Ecological Descriptors

Adult: volant.

 

Diagnosis

The imagines are separable from the other members of the genus by the combination of having multiserial dorsocentrals, and wing with three transverse bands. The male has an evenly oval microtrichiose appendix of gonostylus, and an HR of 2.0-2.4.

The pupa differs from related species by having posterior spines of tergites III subequal to those of IV; anal lobe projection 140-180 μm long and 0.46-0.55 as long anal lobe length, and male genital sac ending approximately at apex of projection.

The larva has relatively strong claws on posterior parapods, second antennal segment sclerotised for about 40% of its length, postmentum about 140 μm long, and anal setae about 300-313 μm long.

Extra Distribution Information

Known only from type locality.


IBRA

WA: Warren (WAR)

Diagnosis

The imagines are separable from other members of the genus by the combination of having wings nearly fully dark with two broad bands partly fused, bare squama, uniserial dorsocentrals, one prealar, no pseudospurs, and tibiae ringed with white (at least in female). The male has a low adpressed inferior volsella and a slender bare appendix of the gonostylus. The seminal capsule of the female is shorter than the cercus and much shorter than the notum, with the neck about one-fourth as long as the capsule.

The presence of posterior spines on sternites II-VII or VIII combined with the lack of tubercules on tergites or conjunctives separate the pupa from other members of the group.

The larva has weak claws on posterior parapods; mentum at least slightly darker than head capsule, with single, more or less triangular median tooth, with distinct ventral tooth posterior to the first lateral tooth, and indication of a ventral tooth lateral to median tooth; antennal ratio 0.52-0.54; and postmentum 110-113 μm long.

ACT, NSW: South East Corner (SEC), South Eastern Highlands (SEH)

Diagnosis

The imagines are separable from other members of the genus by the combination of having clear wings, slightly sinuous Cu1, no pseudospurs, male anal point, and zero to one seta on squama. Examined females have one to two setae on squama.

The pupa has thoracic horn, essentially smooth cephalothorax, no spinulation on median tergites, pedes spurii A absent, at least some specimens with posterior spines on each of sternites II-IV and medially on sternite II and III, posterior spines on V-VIII, and anal macrosetae with spines at base.

The larva is characterised having a mentum with double median tooth, three lateral teeth, two teeth ventral of lateral teeth and second antennal segment unsclerotised at extreme base only.

Ecological Descriptors

Adult: volant.

 

Diagnosis

The imagines are separable from an undescribed species by having the wings marked by brown, front leg ratio 0.63-0.69 in male, 0.69-0.70 in female, midleg ratio of female 0.50-0.54, and costal extension in female 13-25 μm long (male extension 25-45 μm long). The neck of the seminal capsule one-fourth to nearly one-third as long as the capsule.

The pupa differs from others by the conjunctives lacking any spinulation; with row of posterior spines on sternite IV absent, or if present, medially interrupted, and the spinulation is mostly coarse on T IX.

The larva is characterised having weak claws on posterior parapods; mentum at least slightly darker than head capsule, with single, more or less triangular median tooth, with indistinct ventral tooth posterior to first lateral tooth, and no indication of a ventral tooth laterally of median tooth; antennal ratio about 0.55; and postmentum 113-120 μm long.
