Chironomidae Newman, 1834: 379 - Non-biting midges

Chironomidae are certainly the most speciose and frequently most numerous insect family in most freshwater systems, and are often integral energy-processing components of almost all freshwater ecosystems. The family also has a number of semi-terrestrial and terrestrial species.

The systematics and taxonomy of such a large group is still in a state of change, with relatively few expert taxonomists active in describing the enormous diversity of this group. Many groups in Chironomidae remain poorly understood, especially genetically, and undoubtedly there exist within genera species-complexes that are only distinguishable with various molecular methods (e.g., Martin 2003). Further, some taxa simply have been poorly sampled and studied, and undoubtedly many new species await description. A joint project by Pat Hudson and Ethan Bright to survey the Chironomidae of the Great Lakes Region, with an emphasis on Michigan, is a new start to systematically update our information. The following list must be considered preliminary and by no means definitive. Distribution records are often based on few observations, and for few groups are we knowledgeable about ecological parameters from which we can infer a distribution. Thus, one must be liberal in listing species that could occur in our state. Currently, there are 310 species that have been documented from Michigan, with at least another 247 species (not including undescribed forms) likely to occur here (E. Bright, 2024, unpub. info.).

Genera are denoted in green; species denoted in bold blue have been recorded in Michigan; other species denoted in black bold are expected to occur based on their known distribution. You can use the Find function in your web browser to locate families, genera, and species. Synonomous species (indented) are listed below the current valid species (denoted in bold) with its taxonomic status indicated.

Page updates:

  • March 30, 2024 - Zavrelia parapentatoma, new species, and Parachaetocladius lenferringtoni (species record) added to species list based on literature citation (Namayandeh et al. 2023, Bouchard et al. 2024)
  • March 27, 2017 - Reorganized reference sections, splitting them into references pertaining to sources documenting the occurence of a species in Michigan, and another for works that reference authorship of species cited. Corrected omissions and errors in citation.
  • March 22, 2017 - added state records based on Isle Royale NP exuviae collection data in Egan and Ferrington 2015
  • March 17, 2017 - removed Paracladopelma rolli (Chernovskij, 1949), as may be a nomina dubium and its distribution is Palaearctic; its identification in Winnell and White (1985) is problematic
  • June 11, 2016 - Gymnometriocnemus marionensis added to species list based on literature citation (Stur and Ekrem 2015)
  • March 14, 2016 - Paratrichocladius Santos Abreu, 1918, always a difficult genus to differentiate from Cricotopus, has been placed in junoir synonymy with the latter by Cranston and Krosch (2015)
  • March 30, 2015 - Chironomus attenuatus is a nomen dubium (type specimen lost), and (together with its synonomies) was synonomyzed under Chironomus decorus - thanks to Jon Martin for this information
  • December 13, 2013 - added Corynocera sp. based on information from Malcolm Butler and Barbara Hayford (see above)
  • December 11, 2013 - added new state records for Cladopelma galeator, C. amachaerum, and C. collator, removing an erroneous literature citation for C. galeator; it is not in Hudson & Bright 2012
  • February 15, 2013 - removed Chironomus tentans, as it does not occur in North America (except possibly Alaska), instead most specimens identified as that species are Chironomus dilutus Shobanov et al. 1999. Per Martin 2012
  • November 30, 2012 - combined entire Chironomidae list; cleaned up errors in citation, nomenclature
  • November 29, 2012 - removed "working species" from Tanytarsus
  • October 26, 2012 - updated synonomyns for Cladopelma edwardsi and Cladopelma viridulum, added new Michigan records (Hudson & Bright 2012)
  • November 15, 2011 - added Boreochlus persimilis (Johannsen), records from Jordan River, pers. comm. Pat Hudson (2011) - new state record
  • October 24, 2011 - Changed Polypedilum convictum (Walker, 1856) from subgenus Tripodura Townes to Uresipedilum Oyewo & Sæther (Sæther et al. 2010. The problems with Polypedilum Kieffer (Diptera: Chironomidae), with the description of Probolum subgen. n. Zootaxa 2497: 1–36.)
