Identification / Chironomus nuditarsis
Last post by Bruno Rossaro - December 01, 2023, 07:04:11 AMChironomus nuditarsis Keyl, 1961 is the correct denomination ?
The original description is in Arch. Hydrobiol, 58, 1961 ?
where only cytological characters are given and Str. is considered the author ?
Where one can find the first description of the adult male ?

Last post by Laci Hamerlik - October 30, 2023, 10:08:56 AMDear chiro workers
We are working o the read list of Slovakian chironomids and we are short of a picture of Acamptocladius reissi. Does anyone have a good quality photograph of the larva, larval head or imago of A. reissi and wouldnt mind sharing it?
Thank you,
Laci

Today I received the very sad news that our esteemed Japanese colleague, Dr Masaru Yamamoto, has passed away after a long bout with heart disease.
His many excellently illustrated contributions to the knowledge of Chironomidae in Japan deserve a special place in the collective memory of our research community.
