It's true that getting to species from a chironomid photo is very difficult - so many genera have very similar species that can only be distinguished with certainty by examining the male genitalia.


I appreciate your response Tony.
The subject of genitalia is still complicated for me, and I have not yet decided to try to do it. In this case, it would also be impossible, since I did not have the opportunity to collect the insect after taking the photographs ...
Thanks again for your help.
