Hello,
Here is a male Chironomidae found on March 29, 2026, in a wet meadow in Villeneuve d'Ascq (Nord, France). It was resting on a leaf of Symphytum officinale.
Is it possible to identify its genus or, at least, its subfamily ?
Thank you in advance,
Dominique

 Thank you, John, for clarifying that.
I read (on the internet - BugGuide "Tribe Chironomini"Wink that this tribe consists of five groups (of genus) : Chironomus, Harnischia, Polypedium Endochironomus, Stenochironomus, Lauterborniella. Do you agree with that ?

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.

I would prefer not to receive any more messages from diptera.info signed by Paul... (Thread reply notification)... Could they be signed by ‘The diptera.info team’?
