Hi,
this male of Chironominae was observed yesterday at home (north of Yonne department, France). Could it be a
Cladopelma ?
C. viridulum ?Thanks for a reply.

The inner appendages look too large for a member of the
Harnischia complex.

The genitalia does not match
Cladopelma or the
Harnischia Group. The inferior volsella are too large. This looks more like something that would be in the
Chironomus Group, perhaps
Chironomus?
