Recently, one of us (DSC) collected very similar larvae from Manipur, India. While the full details of this Indian species have yet to be clarified, it is clear that it is not in the genus Yama, but in Chironomus, although possibly a new subgenus. Under the current classification, this larva would be a salinarius-type, since it lacks lateral and ventral tubules. However, it is recognizably different from all other salinarius-type larvae, and indeed all other larval-types, in the greater length of the posterior prolegs (about 4 times longer than wide cf. about 2 times longer than wide) and the star-like arrangement of the anal tubules (Fig. 1).

Madachironomus gen. n. is described based on male and female imagines collected at two watersheds in Madagascar. Two species are included, M. lakazana sp. n. from Lakazana River, Antananarivo province and M. rongaronga sp. n. from Rongaronga River, Toamasina province. The adults have a black comb on the apex of the fore tibia, similar to the combs on mid- and hind tibiae, thus placing the new genus in the tribe Pseudochironomini Saether. The male has a strong, moderately long, nearly parallel-sided anal point with broadly rounded apex, without microtrichia except at base, and a digitiform, apically split median volsella with strong brush-like setae, projecting medially. The female sternite VIII has a very dense posteromedial to posterolateral field of setae, the gonocoxapodeme VIII is nearly straight, the gonapophysis VIII has closely adjacent, indistinctly separable lobes; the ovoid seminal capsules have nearly straight spermathecal ducts and the labia have internal apodemes and spinose chaetulae on dorsomedial surfaces.

Ten species of non-biting midges belonging to the subfamily Orthocladiinae were found in samples from predominantly madicolous habitats in Mallorca, Spain. One species, Bryophaenocladius nidorum (Edwards, 1929), has not previously been recorded from Spain, while Smittia pratorum (Goetghebuer, 1927), Bryophaenocladius inconstans (Brundin, 1947), Orthocladius (O.) maius Goetghebuer, 1942, Paracladius conversus (Walker, 1856) and Paraphaenocladius impensus (Walker, 1856) are recorded for the first time from the Balearic Islands.

Here we bring evidence of larvae of three chironomid taxa dwelling in fallen apples in an urban pond. Larvae of Endochironomus tendens (also a pupa), Cricotopus cf. sylvestris and Polypedilum sp. were found mining in more than 80% of investigated rotten apples floating on a water surface. Our findings indicate that fallen fruits may play an important food source for some aquatic chironomids not only in the tropics but also in the temperate zone. Such habitat may also serve as shelter from fish predators.

The species composition of the Chironomidae fauna in the Czech Republic is still poorly known despite a long tradition in Chironomidae research, already established by Prof. Jan Zavřel in the beginning of the 20th century. The major reasons are a low number of researchers dealing with Chironomidae in the Czech Republic and their traditional focus on larvae, which usually cannot be identified to species. As a result, only a small portion of the chironomid fauna living in the Czech Republic has been discovered so far and many chironomid species are first to be recorded in the future. This concerns both (common) species that are already known from Slovakia and other neighbouring countries, and species living in poorly studied habitats, such as montane springs or bogs.

The Chironomidae (Insecta: Diptera) type collection at the Laboratory of Ecology of Aquatic Insects (LEIA - UFSCar) is reviewed. It comprises 103 primary types, as well as 95 paratypes, mostly resulting from research by S. Trivinho-Strixino and G. Strixino. Notes updating the taxonomic status are provided for some species.
