Abstract

This checklist deals with summarizing all the data on Iranian Chironomidae (Diptera). In total, 34 species from 5 subfamilies are listed as the fauna of Iran: Buchonomyiinae (single species), Chironominae (18 species from 24 genera with some unknown species), Diamesinae (unknown species within 4 genera), Orthocladiinae (8 species from 24 genera with some unknown species) and Tanypodinae (7 species from 10 genera with some unknown species). Three species, Chironomus anthracinus Zetterstedt, 1860, Cladotanytarsus (Cladotanytarsus) mancus (Walker, 1856) and Tanypus punctipennis Meigen, 1818 are new records for the fauna of Iran.

Abstract

Bu kontrol listesi, İran Chironomidae (Diptera) ile ilgili tüm verilerin özetlenmesiyle ilgilidir. Toplamda 5 alt familyaya ait 34 tür İran’ın faunası olarak listelenmiştir: Buchonomyiinae (1 tür), Chironominae (tanımlanmayan türlerle birlikte 24 cinse ait 18 tür), Diamesinae (tanımlanmayan türlerin bulunduğu 4 cins), Orthocladiinae (tanımlanmayan türlerle birlikte 24 cinse ait 8 tür) ve Tanypodinae (tanımlanmayan türlerle birlikte 10 cinse ait 7 tür). Chironomus anthracinus Zetterstedt, 1860, Cladotanytarsus (Cladotanytarsus) mancus (Walker, 1856) ve Tanypus punctipennis Meigen, 1818 türleri İran faunası için yeni kayıtlardır.
