15 TH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON CHIRONOMIDAE 12-14 AUGUST 2003 

The 15th International Symposium on 

Chironomidae will be held at the University of 

Minnesota in Saint Paul, Minnesota on 12-14 

August 2003. It will be sponsored by the 

Department of Entomology, and Len 

Ferrington will serve as the organizer and will 

be the contact person for inquiries. His 

telephone number is 612-624-3265 and his email 

address is ferri016@tc.umn.edu 

A web page will soon be available with 

detailed instructions for submitting abstracts, 

reserving accomodations and to complete and 

pay for registration. An announcement of the 

web page will be made through the 

Chironomidae Web page. 

In addition to the scientific schedule, there will 

be both pre-meeting and post-meeting tours. 

The pre-meeting tour will be held on Monday, 

11 August 2003 and will be free for registered 

participants (delegates) of the conference. 

There will be a small fee for spouses and 

others accompanying the conference delegates. 

The post-meeting tour will depart from 

Minneapolis/Saint Paul in the AM on 15 

August 2003, and will consist of travel to the 

Itasca Field Lab in central Minnesota, followed 

by travel to the Iron Range area of northcentral 

Minnesota then along the North Shore 

of Lake Superior to the border with Canada, 

before returning to Minneapolis/Saint Paul by 

late PM on 19 August 2003. There will be a 

fee for the post-meeting tour, both for meeting 

delegates, spouses and other accompanying 

guests. 

The Minnesota State Fair will begin on 

Thursday, 21 August 2003. The state fair 

continues for 10 days and is one of the most 

celebrated social activities of summer in 

Minneapolis/Saint Paul, with more 2 million 

people attending the fair. The state fair is an 

activity that should not be missed and we hope 

that people attending the International 

Conference on Chironomidae will try to 

schedule some extra days in the Twin Cities so 

that they can attend the fair. For more details 

contact Len Ferrington. 

In order to participate in all meeting activities 

and also attend the state fair it is recommended 

that persons arrive by Saturday 9 August 2003 

or Sunday 10 August 2003 and stay until at 

least 23 August 2003.

PROFESSOR ERNST JOSEF FITTKAU – 75 YEARS, 

50 YEARS FOR CHIRONOMID RESEARCH 

By Martin Spies 

Munich, Germany (e-mail: spies@zi.biologie.uni-muenchen.de) 

Fig. 1. E. J. Fittkau and students (H. W. Riss, 

A. Meisl) on a field trip in Bavaria, 1991 

This past July, Professor Ernst Josef Fittkau 

and his family, friends, colleagues and students 

were able to celebrate his 75 th birthday. 

Fortunately, Professor Fittkau continues to 

enjoy and pursue his interests in his 

characteristic energetic manner, therefore this 

date does not mark any real cutoff in his 

activities. However, this personal anniversary 

approximately coincides with another, 

professional milestone in Fittkau’s life: the 

completion of 50 years of work involving the 

Chironomidae. Therefore, let us pay tribute 

here on these occasions by remembering how 

much Professor Fittkau has given to our group 

and field of study, and how many of the tools 

and services we can take advantage of today 

we really owe to Fittkau and his collaborators. 

To begin with, just look at the newsletter you 

are reading. In its recent form, 

CHIRONOMUS was revived by Ulrike Nolte 

and associates, and it is the current editors who 

deserve our thanks for continuing to produce 

this useful forum for communications. 

However, the newsletter was originally created 

by Fittkau and Friedrich Reiss in 1967, and 

Fittkau worked as its co-editor through the end 

of 1984 when CHIRONOMUS went into 

dormancy after 25 issues and a total of over 

200 pages (see Nos 25 and 67a in the list of 

Fittkau’s publications at the end of this article). 

Even before editing the first newsletter, Fittkau 

was one of the initiators of another way to 

exchange information, that chironomid 

workers from all around the world have 

enjoyed ever since as a major attraction and 

institution in our community: in the fall of 

1963 Fittkau sent out the invitations for the 

first International Symposium on 

Chironomidae, which then took place at Plön 

in July of 1964. By now we are looking 

forward to the fifteenth such meeting, to be 

hosted by Len Ferrington and colleagues at the 

University of Minnesota in the summer of 

2003. 

Knowing Professor Fittkau today, one can 

assume that meeting others and bridging 

distances between people or territories have 

always been enjoyable and rewarding to him in 

themselves, not just necessary means to a 

professional end. Nevertheless, it is fair to 

assume that this inclination was reinforced by 

positive experience made in his younger years. 

As a beginning student of biology, he was able 

to take part in the creation of the 

Limnologische Fluss-Station Freudenthal – a 

precursor of the current Max-Planck-Institute 

at Schlitz – which could only be achieved 

through the collective effort of its founders 

overcoming the most adverse post-war 

circumstances. 

The ‘down’ side of joining this group for 

Fittkau – lucky for us – was that he was 

directed away from the molluscs he had 

wanted to study, and instead had to work 

himself into the Chironomidae. (However, 

Fittkau never has been ‘converted’ completely, 

as can be seen from his wonderful collection of 

shells, and from the occasional papers on 

molluscs recurring here and there among his 

many publications.) The fauna of the Fulda 

river, which the Freudenthal group was mainly 

2

Fig. 2. A. Thienemann and E. J. Fittkau at the 

Max-Planck-Institute in Plön, 1952 

studying, was targeted as the topic of Fittkau’s 

doctoral dissertation, and the great August 

Thienemann agreed to act as his senior advisor. 

In 1954, Fittkau became Thienemann’s 

assistant at Plön (Fig. 2). 

Working on the Fulda river material, Fittkau 

soon realized that for many taxa the scientific 

names could not be easily determined, and thus 

meaningful interpretations of the fauna for 

ecology, biogeography or other applications 

were also impossible. The main reasons for 

this were the largely confused, unrevised state 

of chironomid nomenclature, which at that 

time was almost exclusively based on often 

insufficient descriptions of adult specimens, 

and the numerous apparent ‘incongruences’ 

between the alternative systematic 

arrangements derived from imaginal or 

immature stage characters, respectively. On the 

other hand, in the combined and more detailed 

study of direct associations of adult and 

juvenile specimens obtained from his Fulda 

rearings Fittkau saw the chance to overcome 

these difficulties and raise the recognition and 

use of the Chironomidae in limnology to levels 

in accordance with the group’s distribution and 

importance in aquatic ecosystems (see 

FITTKAU 1961, publication No. 14). 

Consequently, Fittkau shifted the focus of his 

work to taxonomy and systematics, and even 

changed the topic of his dissertation. The 

resulting revision of the Tanypodinae 

(FITTKAU 1959, 1962; Nos 11, 15) was an 

instant classic in the field, and will remain one 

of the definitive, basic texts on this third 

largest of chironomid subfamilies. 

This move of Fittkau’s from limnology into 

taxonomy and systematics followed the 

realization that “if one wants to practice 

ecology successfully, the mastery of 

systematics remains prerequisite” (FITTKAU 

1961, No. 14). Incidentally, the history of our 

field is full of colleagues arriving at 

chironomid studies on such a more or less 

voluntary detour from their original paths, and 

not all of these managed to find the way back 

out to their intended goals. 

In Fittkau’s case, one influential example of a 

researcher developing taxonomic knowledge 

for similar reasons was Lars Brundin, with 

whom Fittkau was able to study the adults of 

Chironomidae in 1956 and 1958. And like 

Brundin, Fittkau acquired very special 

taxonomic expertise, but has always remained 

much more than a specialist. To see the best of 

different worlds he has managed to keep 

travelling, both physically and in an abstract 

sense – back and forth between the avid 

collector’s natural fields of dreams and the 

scientist’s optimally equipped laboratory and 

library, as well as between the lowland jungles 

of alpha taxonomy and higher elevation sites 

and towers allowing more general overviews in 

ecology, biogeography, or natural history. As 

recurrent a theme as these travels are 

throughout Fittkau’s biography, they may be 

seen as expressing a strong streak of 

adventurous curiosity and love for nature in his 

character. Vice versa, these balanced cycles in 

Fittkau’s activities have certainly kept 

reinvigorating the convincing enthusiasm for 

his interests and encouraging tolerance for 

those of others he has always impressed with 

in personal meetings, his presentations and 

publications. 

As mentioned above, most of Fittkau’s 

motivation for taking up taxonomy came from 

the unsatisfactory state of chironomid 

systematics at the time (but, unfortunately, we 

can still not claim to have overcome these 

problems completely). Hence: “Everyone who 

is working with Chironomidae knows that our 

knowledge of this dipteran family, especially 

its systematization, has hardly reached the 

level that in most other insect orders had been 

surpassed already about 100 years ago. The 

described species are in part so poorly worked 

up that, for example, it is impossible with the 

existing literature to identify the chironomids 

of Europe; from other world regions they are 

mostly known only fragmentarily. Opposite 

our incomplete knowledge of the taxonomy 

stands the great importance which the 

chironomids are increasingly achieving in 

various research disciplines ...” (FITTKAU & 

REISS 1967; publication No. 25a). And: “The 

time seemed to have come, therefore, to bring 

together in collaboration the forces of all those 

working on chironomids, in order to help each 

other, exchange experience, literature and 

3

material, and thus succeed in overcoming the 

difficulties at hand.” (FITTKAU 1966b; No. 22). 

Thus, in addition to the international meetings 

and newsletter, Fittkau became one of the 

driving forces behind several more significant 

achievements resulting from such collective 

effort by chironomid workers. In 1976 he coauthored 

the first comprehensive bibliography 

of the Chironomidae (publication No. 62), and 

he was actively involved from the time the idea 

was first conceived in the production of what 

must be THE most widely used work on 

Chironomidae worldwide: the three books with 

keys and diagnoses for Holarctic genera edited 

by Torgny Wiederholm (see list Nos 83, 99, 

115). 

Moreover, Fittkau has worked extensively to 

provide chironomid researchers and those in 

related disciplines with new, more and better 

opportunities to publish their work. For this 

purpose he founded the scientific journals 

Amazoniana (in 1968) and Spixiana (1977), 

and served as the editor or co-editor of several 

others (e.g. Studies on the Neotropical Fauna, 

Aquatic Insects), as well as of numerous 

books, proceedings, journal supplements, etc. 

For one example of the effects of these 

activities, see all the papers on Chironomidae 

published in Spixiana (available on Luc Int 

Panis’ and Ian Walker’s Chironomid Home 

Page: 

http://www.ouc.bc.ca/eesc/iwalker/intpanis/ 

under “Looking for references?”). 

Another influential instrument guided by 

Fittkau to promote the work of chironomid 

researchers has been the ‘chironomid center’ 

first developed in Plön, then moved to Munich 

when Fittkau became the director of the 

Zoologische Staatssammlung (ZSM) in 1976. 

Very few other collections can match the 

volume and concentration of literature and 

reference specimens, equipment and knowhow 

gathered by Fittkau and F. Reiss. Of special 

merit in this respect is the conservation and 

introduction into taxonomic practice of the 

specimens, data files and correspondence from 

the Thienemann collection. Fittkau was among 

the first to realize the enormous importance of 

these materials, and he took part in the tedious 

but eventually successful process to have its 

value acknowledged and its use enabled by the 

International Commission on Zoological 

Nomenclature (ICZN) (see HIRVENOJA & 

FITTKAU 1971, list No. 41; ICZN 1980; SPIES 

2001). 

Numerous colleagues around the world have 

directly benefited from the chironomid center 

over the years, either on visits – for a number 

of which Fittkau secured funding, e.g. from the 

Max-Planck Society, the German academic 

exchange service DAAD or the Humboldt 

Foundation – or by receiving material and 

information through loans and correspondence. 

After Professor Fittkau’s retirement and Reiss’ 

much too early death, the dipterists now 

working at ZSM have been trying their best to 

continue these services. 

Professor Fittkau’s work as an academic 

teacher has also served to greatly expand the 

knowledge and awareness of chironomids, 

other aquatic insects and the environments they 

live in. He has given much of his time and 

opened the resources of the chironomid center 

and ZSM to around 100 students preparing 

doctoral dissertations, diploma and other theses 

under his guidance. A list of those projects 

completed or started by 1992 can be found on 

pp. 14-18 of Anonymous (1992). 

Parallel to his furthering of chironomid 

research by attracting and training many new 

workers, Fittkau has also significantly widened 

its geographic horizon. Always ready to travel 

to exotic places, and never returning without 

interesting specimens, he has been supplying 

us with a wealth of material that will for a long 

time remain very hard to work up completely. 

These collections, along with Fittkau‘s 

achievements in general, have prompted many 

authors of scientific descriptions to name new 

Fig. 3. E. J. Fittkau in Amazônia, ca. 1960 

genera and species after him – over two dozen 

alone in several families of the Diptera, but 

also members of several other orders of aquatic 

insects, some Acari and a marine snail. Among 

Neotropical Chironomidae, “fittkaui” in 

4

different generic combinations is the single 

most frequently occurring species epithet. 

Although he has collected on every continent 

except Antarctica, the one region that stands 

above all others with respect to Fittkau’s 

attention is the Neotropics, especially the 

Amazon and adjacent areas. When Fittkau first 

came to South America in 1960 (see Fig. 3) – 

on leave from Plön to lead the limnology 

department of the Instituto Nacional de 

Pesquisas da Amazônia (INPA) in Manaus – 

very little was known about chironomids from 

that region. 

Although several dozen species had been 

named in the preceding 150 years, most of 

them could not be recognised because their 

descriptions were insufficient and their type 

specimens lost or useless. From the tropical 

Amazon only a handful of species were 

known, and this lack of a taxonomic 

foundation was particularly dearly felt in light 

of the enormous importance and diversity of 

these ecosystems. To remedy this situation, 

Fittkau spent the following years (1960-1963, 

and 1965) to collect a tremendous amount of 

material and environmental field data. 

Integrating this extensive first-hand experience 

with that of others and a wide-ranging 

scientific background, he then developed a 

comprehensive understanding of the fauna, 

functioning, and natural history of these 

ecosystems. Based on these insights Fittkau 

has tried for the last several decades to alert the 

world – from laypeople through science and 

academia to politics and international 

organisations – to the special beauties, global 

value and need for conservation of the Amazon 

and tropical ecosystems in general. Inspite of 

everything he has been doing for chironomid 

research, it is fair to say that he has made those 

efforts his most important activity, and the 

proportion this topic has assumed in his 

publications attests to that (see, e.g., Nos 77, 

89, 92, 110, 124, 143). 

Fittkau’s work on Neotropical Chironomidae 

in particular reflects all of the means 

highlighted in the preceding paragraphs, with 

which he has enhanced research and 

knowledge on these organisms and their roles 

in nature. True to his principle of 

collaboration, he sought from the beginning to 

find, win over or train fellow workers, 

especially from South America, and has 

generously aided and supported everybody 

willing to share in the necessary tasks. For 

example, early on he joined forces with 

Sebastião José de Oliveira, the first Brazilian 

researcher to study chironomids independently, 

and the two friends are still enjoying this most 

long-standing of partnerships (Fig. 4). 

Fig. 4. S. J. de Oliveira and E. J. Fittkau at the 

International Symposium in Rio de Janeiro, 

2000 

As the result of this collective effort coinitiated 

and promoted by Fittkau, our 

knowledge of the Neotropical chironomid 

fauna has greatly increased e.g., the number of 

described species is now close to 800 (author’s 

unpublished data) – and continues to grow 

faster at this time than in any comparable 

world region, in large part due to the 

contributions from a very active and hopefully 

still growing contingent of workers in South 

America itself. The entire history and 

development of research on Neotropical 

Chironomidae have been lucidly recounted 

recently by Fittkau himself (2001c, No.157; 

see also No. 160). 

Looking in detail at Fittkau’s publications 

specifically on chironomid topics, we again 

find numerous most significant contributions 

to the field. These works range from diagnostic 

descriptions of single taxa through revisions on 

various classification levels (e.g. Nos 15, 36, 

40, 47, 140) to phylogenetic and comparative 

examinations of morphological features (e.g. 

Nos 13, 18, 39), and to faunistic and 

zoogeographical overviews (e.g. Nos 23+65, 

69, 70, 102). 

On the desciptive level, Fittkau is the 

taxonomic author or coauthor of 3 tribes, 

almost 30 genera, and nearly 100 species – 

mostly in the Tanypodinae, but also in several 

other subfamilies. Many of his new taxa have 

widened our view of just how diverse and 

exotic chironomid morphology and biology 

can be (e.g. Nos 7, 16, 27, 54). From his 

earliest works to this day, Fittkau’s 

descriptions always impress by his eye for 

5

discovering previously unobserved 

morphological details, and by his ability to 

discern those of diagnostic, classificatory or 

phylogenetic significance. These capacities 

may well be related to those of the born and 

trained field biologist who manages to spot and 

catch the objects most important to his hunt 

amid a jungle of distractions. And the same 

talent and appreciation for details also 

expresses itself in Fittkau’s drawings of always 

excellent scientific and artistic quality, whose 

combination of informative clarity and 

pleasing aesthetics many of us can never 

dream of matching. 

But as much as this attention to detail in 

observation and presentation is productive and 

rewarding on its own scale, its main 

justification to Fittkau again is that it serves the 

higher purpose of making it easier for others to 

follow his scientific argument. In a paper on 

the delimitation of chironomid genera he 

wrote: “The most noble task for the systematist 

must be to establish order. The smaller and 

more cleanly the individual pieces of a mosaic 

are set, the clearer it becomes. Genera are 

phylogenetic or monophyletic units. They can 

contain information not only for the 

taxonomist, but likewise for those applying 

them in practice.” (FITTKAU 1968a, No. 26). 

Thus, a method is of little value until it 

produces results that are shared with and can 

be reproduced, understood and used by others. 

And on the next level, specialist sciences like 

taxonomy should strive to render and keep 

their data and systems accessible and useful to 

progress in more interpretive and applied 

fields. 

As Fittkau has acknowledged (2001b, No. 

156a) this basic guideline for his systematic 

work goes back to the early 19 th century 

founders of dipterology, C. R. W. Wiedemann 

and J. W. Meigen. “I have ... tried to convey 

this demand ... to colleagues and students for 

their emulation” (FITTKAU, op. cit.): to 

develop an “arrangement of genera and species 

according to such characteristics as can be 

found more or less easily by other researchers” 

(WIEDEMANN & MEIGEN 1818, quoted in 

FITTKAU, op. cit.). 

It was thus only fitting that in 2001 the 

German Society for General and Applied 

Entomology honored Professor Fittkau’s 

“outstanding accomplishments in taxonomic 

and ecological work on the Chironomidae ... 

and his untiring research effort for the Amazon 

region” by presenting him with the Society’s 

Meigen Medal (see GERSTMEIER 2001). 

In his “Memoirs and diary sheets of a 

biologist”, Thienemann (1959: 403) wrote 

about Fittkau: “I do hope that he will go on to 

continue my chironomid studies.” There 

cannot be the least bit of doubt that Professor 

Ernst Josef Fittkau has more than fulfilled 

Thienemann’s wish. True to the legacy of his 

teacher and predecessor, he has greatly 

increased not just our factual knowledge of the 

Chironomidae, but also their appreciation and 

application in research at large, the geographic 

areas in which they are being studied, and the 

numbers of people to whom they are important 

and fascinating. Moreover, he has been doing 

his very best to promote all this in the spirit of 

cooperation and friendship. 

Today we can enjoy reaping the benefits from 

this collaborative environment Fittkau and his 

contemporaries have sown the seeds for. But 

let us not take this for granted, as it is not a 

simple given in all comparable groups of 

scientists or people, and – like the natural 

environment we depend on – it is not 

guaranteed to persist around us without our 

continued contributions. It is up to us to ensure 

that this tradition will be carried on.

CURRENT RESEARCH 

NEW COMBINATIONS AND SYNONYMS IN EUROPEAN 

Pseudosmittia GOETGHEBUER AND RELATED GENERA. 

By 0. A. Sæther & L. C. Ferrington Jr. 

Museum of Zoology. University of Bergen, Bergen, Norway 

and Department of Entomology University of Minnesota, St. Paul, Minnesota. USA 

When one of us (0. A. S) was on sabbatical 

with the other at the University of Kansas a 

revision of the genus Pseudosmittia 

Goetghebuer was started and a preliminary 

manuscript describing and re-describing nearly 

100 species assignable to the genus was 

completed. Due to various circumstances, 

including a change of venue for one of us (L. 

C. F) from Lawrence, Kansas, to the 

University of Minnesota in St. Paul, 

Minnesota, the publication date has been 

delayed. Recently, however, one of us (0. A. 

S.) was requested to summarize the 

chironomids in the Fauna Europaea project, a 

database which will include all terrestrial and 

aquatic animals of Europe with their 

distribution in respective countries. Further 

information is obtainable on 

http://www.faunaeur.org. The database will 

eventually result in a variety of publications 

for the different groups, but new synonyms and 

combinations known to us should not be 

introduced in the data base, and we believe it is 

not desirable to use knowingly wrong names 

and combinations in the data base. We thus 

find it necessary to publish a list of the types 

which will cause changes to the nomenclature 

of the European species. We have examined 

the type material of most relevant museums, 

but a few remain to be investigated. Here we 

are listing only new combinations, new 

synonyms, new nomina dubia or other changes 

relative to the catalogue by Ashe & Cranston 

(1990).

Ashe & Cranston (1990). Holotype male in 

NMS. 

New status 

Pseudosmittia virgo montana Strenzke, 1950: 

303 (= Pseudosmittia montana Strenzke stat. 

n.) Holotype male with pupal exuviae in NMS. 

Nomina dubia 

Camptocladius flaviventris Kieffer, 192la: 289, 

nomen dubium. The type could not be located. 

Camptocladius hexalobus Kieffer, 1924: 395 

(= Pseudosmittia hexalobus Kieffer, nomen 

dubium). Type lost. A likely senior synonym 

of either P. trilobata or P. obtusa. 

Camptocladius longicrus Kieffer, 1921b: 100, 

nomen dubium. Type lost. A pupal exuviae 

from NMS is marked type, but collected in 

1941 and thus wrongly marked. 

Pseudosmittia restricta Brundin, 1956: 170, 

nomen dubium. The type could not be found. 

The species cannot belong in Pseudosmittia if 

the description is correct as a distinct scutal 

hump is present and the genitalia differ from 

all other known species. 

Smittia (Pseudosmittia) tenebrosa 

Goetghebuer, 1943: 109 [= Pseudosmittia 

tenebrosa (Goetghebuer) nomen dubium]. 

Holotype male in IRSN. Mounted between two 

plastic strips on a pin and ruined in attempt of 

remounting. Probably a synonym of P. simplex 

Strenzke & Thienemann. 

Camptocladius trifoliatus Kieffer, 1924: 73, 

nomen dubium. The type could not be located. 

Smittia (Pseudosmittia) vicana Goetghebuer, 

1943: 110 [= Pseudosmittia vicana 

(Goetghebuer), nomen dubium]. The female 

holotype supposedly in IRSN could not be 

found.

CHIRONOMIDAE TYPES IN THE MUSEUM OF ZOOLOGY, BERGEN 

Elisabeth Stur & Trond Andersen 

Museum of Zoology, University of Bergen, Muséplass 3, N-5007 Bergen, Norway 

(e-mail: trond.andersen@zmb.uib.no) 

The International Project Collection at the 

Museum of Zoology, University of Bergen, 

contains the holotypes of 239 species of 

Chironomidae, and paratypes of an additional 

133 species, Table 1. More than 1750 slides 

with type material are housed in the collection. 

Most of the types belong in the subfamilies 

17 

Orthocladiinae and Chironominae, but types of 

Usambaromyiinae, Podonominae, Tanypodinae, 

Buchonomyiinae, Diamesinae and 

Prodiamesinae are also represented. 

Inquiries about the Chironomidae in the 

International Project Collection should be 

addressed to Trond Andersen. 

Table 1. Chironomidae species with types deposited in the International Project Collection at the 

Museum of Zoology in Bergen.

REARING TANYPODINAE, TELMATOGETONINAE AND ORTHOCLADIINAE IN 

BRAZIL – AN EMPIRICAL APPROACH. 

This text reflects my experience in rearing 

chironomids in Brazil. 

Just after sorting, the larvae were isolated in 

small vials in order to be sure about the 

associations. The vials stayed open and as soon 

as the larvae became pupae, the larval exuviae 

was fixed and the pupa transferred to a larger 

container with a lower superficial tension 

(provided by the superficial area) so they could 

emerge. The vials suggested by EPLER (1995; 

2001) and by MERRIT, RESH & CUMMINS 

(1996) weren’t efficient for most of the 

chironomids I’ve tried unsuccessfully to rear. 

Transport from field to laboratory: 

I’ve got good results with isolated larvae in ice 

coolers to keep the temperature low. The water 

level in the vials must be low so it facilitates 

gas exchange and prevent mechanical shock, 

and a substratum should be provided for the 

larvae (avoiding extra stress). 

Temperature in the laboratory: 

Most chironomids live well at room 

temperatures, even the ones collected in 

streams. The main problem is not the 

temperature, but the water level which is 

related to oxygen. I’ve reared some fastflowing 

chironomids with very low water 

levels in the vials. 

Association of the larvae with the 

environment: 

The chironomids associated with soft substrata, 

as a whole, need at least a fine layer of 

substratum where they can move and build 

their tubes. Coelotanypodini and Procladiini 

don`t build tubes, but they arrange the 

sediment into “paths” in which they can hide. 

The chironomids associated with submerged 

vegetation and macrophytes need an 

appropriate substratum to live on. An easy way 

to solve this problems is to incorporate some 

small leaf pieces to serve as substratum for the 

larvae. 

Most of orthoclads live in streams, springs and 

other fast flowing waters. One easy way to rear 

them is by keeping them in small vials with

shallow water, another way is by placing them 

in a flowing water system with enough oxygen. 

Many orthoclads live in “non-aquatic” 

environments (some are semi-aquatic, semiterrestrial, 

terrestrial or marine) in these special 

environments, rearing methods must be as 

similar as possible to the environments where 

they were collected. 

In streams and fast flowing waters the larvae 

must be sorted as soon as possible, these 

environments are generally very rich in oxygen 

and the larvae are very demanding in this 

parameter. The vials must be with little water, 

generally when full of it, the relationship of 

depth to surface area is such that there isn’t 

enough oxygen provided. Another way to do 

this is keeping the animals in flowing water. 

Larvae of slow flowing to standing waters are, 

generally, more resistant to oxygen depletion, 

some can survive in very low concentrations of 

oxygen, like Chironomus. Most of these 

animals require a fine layer of sediment in the 

bottom of the vial. Some animals from 

standing waters and pools live on macrophytes, 

stones, dead leaves and submerged trunks, for 

them the best was to take a piece of leaf to set 

in the vials with the larvae. 

Phytotelmata are generally good sources for 

chironomids. I’ve collected some chironomids 

in the leaf axils of bromeliads, and the best 

results were obtained by washing the 

substratum with a sieve as soon as it was taken 

from the leaf. Washing can be conducted with 

filtered water. Also, the animals might be 

placed in a white tray, sorted and isolated in 

the field. For more about phytotelmata 

chironomids see FRANK (1983). 

The mining chironomids, like 

Stenochironomus, should never be taken out of 

their places; most of them aren’t able to 

continue mining after they have been taken 

out. One way to solve this problem is to keep 

some submerged trunks and leaves in the 

laboratory (emergence trails) and wait till the 

animals emerge. More information on the 

Chironomidae associated with submerged

trunks in Brazil have been provided by 

TRIVINHO-STRIXINO & STRIXINO (1998). 

To feed or not to feed? That is the question 

If one wants to rear animals from the early 

instars, one must feed the larvae. But, on the 

other hand, if all one wants to do is to rear 

some adults, fourth instar larvae isolated in 

small containers will generally pupate and 

some of these will emerge without having been 

fed. But some comments are required: Even 

some prepupae larvae of tanypods and 

orthoclads aren’t able to pupate without 

feeding, or they aren’t able to emerge, and I 

prefer to feed the larvae to get better results. 

Terrestrial Environments: 

Part of the environment must be sampled as a 

whole, with part of the substratum. When 

working with mosses on rocks and trunks, the 

moss must be taken off without damaging the 

animals, knives help sometimes. 

Once sampled, the material must be handled 

very carefully in order not to kill the larvae. 

The mosses must be cut into pieces so they fit 

well in Petri dishes, paying attention to the 

height of the sample, with scissors one may cut 

off the top and bottom of the moss. 

Dead leaves may be very good for 

chironomids, so collecting them must be a 

good choice. They can be used to collect live 

material to rear, so the entire sample must be 

placed in Petri dishes to rear. As soon as the 

adults dry their wings, they are killed and the 

pupal and larval exuviae found. The more time 

one leaves before looking for the exuviae, the 

more difficult it is to find them, since the 

exuviae might sink. 

Terrestrial chironomids don’t need to be 

replaced after pupating, they can emerge in 

small dishes. When using closed vials don’t 

forget to open it daily! 

One clever method that helps sorting the pupal 

exuviae is to fill up the Petri dishes with water. 

Some pupal exuviae will float, but not all of 

them, so that`s an alternative to be used after 

trying to find the exuviae under a 

stereomicroscope. This method does not 

damage the larvae nor the pupae, they can 

survive in water up to 3 hours: if not found 

within that time after flooding the sample, it is 

not worth continuing the search. Sometimes 

the larvae must be sorted and isolated to be 

sure about the associations with pupa and 

adults, especially when working with more 

than one species in the same genera. In 

Bryophaeocladius, Gymnometriocnemus and 

Antillocladius the larval exuviae can easily be 

30 

found near the pupal exuviae or the pupa itself. 

My own experience with these genera shows 

that one can only be sure about the associations 

just when working with isolated material, 

because very often I found two or more species 

in the same sample. 

How to obtain a sterile terrestrial sediment: 

Most of the terrestrial orthoclads I’ve reared 

lived among mosses and tree trunk lichens, 

which can be easily sterilised of insects by 

putting some water and letting it dry for a 

week and repeat the dehydration twice more. 

This will provide a sterile substratum on which 

the larvae might be reared.. But pay attention 

to drought tolerant larvae! Most of the drought 

tolerant larvae don’t die with this method, then 

I sorted the substratum under a 

stereomicroscope to be sure there was only one 

larva in each vial. 

Marine environment: 

The only marine larvae I found and tried to 

rear was Thalassomyia, but none was 

successfully reared. The water dried out too 

fast so no larvae could survive. I haven´t tested 

the filter-aquarium suggested by BAY, 1967. 

Supporting cultures: 

Algae. Algae are needed to feed many larvae, 

specially when one has third instar larvae and 

has to rear them till adult. Many algae can be 

good sources for chironomids. One must 

choose the algae according to the aims. I’ve 

chosen to cultivate three different species: 

Ankistrodesmus, Scenedesmus and 

Chlamydomonas. 

Rotifera. Some rotifers might be collected with 

the substratum, and they can be cultivated 

adding some organic nutrients, such as dried 

leaves and rice grains, to filtered water. 

Sometimes benthic colonial species are better 

to feed the larvae. 

Oligochaeta. These animals might be easily 

cultivated. Those associated with leaves might 

be cultivated with some detritus and leaves 

from the place where they were collected. This 

is a good source of food for chironomids since 

one single specimen might be enough food for 

about 7 tanypods. The animals must be cut into 

pieces before being given to the chironomids 

and must be offered in pots. This method both 

protects the chironomids from the Oligochaeta 

mucus, which attaches to the mouth and kills 

the larvae; and prevents water pollution since 

the extra food is taken out immediately. 

Chironomus spp. Some egg masses can be got 

in lakes. Some species have been cultivated as

laboratory insects, and the first and second 

instars are very good food sources for third and 

fourth instar tanypods. 

Importance of Isolated material: 

Quite often there are more than one species of 

the same genus living in the same habitat, so 

rearings are from isolated larvae; this method 

will ensure correct associations of the adults 

with the larval and pupal exuviae. I’ve already 

found seven species of the same genus in the 

littoral zone of one lake (Labrundinia). 

Another way to ensure associations without 

isolating, is to get larvae from egg masses or 

pregnant females, for those, the methods 

described by BRANCH (1923), CREDLAND 

(1973), EDWARD (1963) BIEVER (1965)and 

DOWNE & CASPARY (1973) work very well. 

Notes on the reared material: 

Orthocladiinae 

Antillocladius, Bryophaenocladius, Gymnometriocnemus 

and Orthocladiinae new Genus 

(being described by Morraye & Sæther). No 

additional food is required for these larvae. 

They feed on the sediment and substratum. All 

species I’ve already reared fed on sediment 

and decomposed lichens and bryophytes. Very 

often there are more than one species of 

Bryophaenocladius in the same sample, so be 

sure there is only one larva in the vial. 

Corynoneura, Onconeura (Andersen & 

Sæther, in press) and Thienemanniella. This 

are very easy to rear as the larvae feed on 

flavoured fish food. One must pay attention to 

how much is required, and be sure it won’t 

decompose and waste the water oxygen 

(specially by Thienemanniella). The 

Corynoneura-group and some other genera 

build transparent cocoons for the pupa. Taking 

the pupa out of these cocoons can be very 

difficult without damaging the pupa, so the 

entire dish where the larva became pupa must 

go into the bigger container. Some animals of 

this group emerge in the vials suggested by 

EPLER (1995), but many Thienemanniella 

don’t. 

Cricotopus. The larvae become adult if fed 

with periphyton attached to roots and 

submerged leaves, which must be taken with 

the collection of the larvae. 

Ichthyocladius. These animals live on catfish 

and must stay there till the adults emerge. Each 

fish may have only one larva on it (to prevent 

wrong associations) and must stay in an 

isolated aquarium with a net covering. The fish 

must be fed with periphyton and one doesn’t 

31 

have to be worried about feeding the 

orthoclads. As soon as the pupae emerge, the 

adults must be killed, the pupal exuviae will 

remain on the water surface and the larval 

exuviae will remain in the cocoon attached to 

the fish. 

Tanypodinae 

Ablabesmyia. These larvae may be fed with 

dead chironomid larvae, small living larvae 

and pieces of Oligochaeta. I’ve already reared 

larvae from second instar till adults feeding 

them only with Oligochaeta. 

Coelotanypus and Clinotanypus. Most of the 

larvae were fed with sediment detritus and first 

instar of Chironomini. 

Conchapelopia and Pentaneura. The larvae 

were fed with Oligochaeta only. 

Fittkauimyia. These animals generally won’t 

finish the development without being fed with 

other chironomids or Oligochaeta. 

Labrundinia. The only way to rear these 

animals was with feeding them with algae and 

colonial benthic rotifers. I’ve got some animals 

from eggs to adults feeding them this way. 

Larsia. Many species of this genus can be fed 

only with parts of Oligochaeta. 

Monopelopia. This is a difficult genus that can 

feed on live animals or on detritus. All species 

I’ve reared from Phytotelmata fed on detritus 

and some drops of detritus were sufficient to 

get adults from second instar larvae.

The present study investigated the chironomid 

fauna from three stretches of the river 

Magdalena basin: the mouth lagoons at Santa 

Marta, the floodplain lakes of the middle sector 

at Mompox and the river Bogotá up to its 

headwater. 

The biological communities of the Ciénaga de 

Santa Marta have been studied already for 

some decades, owing to the severe 

anthropogenic impacts on this extensive 

aestuary lagoon system at the Caribbean coast 

of Colombia. To aid recuperation water is 

diverted from the Magdalena river through 

artificial channels which causes a high 

sediment import and, consequently, an 

accumulation of particle-bound toxic 

substances, predominantly heavy metals 

(PERDOMO 1998). However, concentration of 

heavy metals in sediments was only slightly 

increased in comparison to other tropical sites 

(NAZAROVA et al. in press), but still five to ten 

times lower than in the middle stretch of the 

river Rhine (STEGGER et al. 2002). 

Macroinvertebrate samples were taken from 

sediments and plant surfaces. The chironomid 

communities (21 species/morpho-species) 

were dominated by Goeldichironomus carus, 

G. devineyae, 3 species of Chironomus, 1 

species of Larsia, and a non-identified 

tanypodid species. The occurrence of 

Fissimentum desiccatum is worth mentioning. 

The frequency of buccal deformities found in 

larvae was 21 percent in average, which 

represents a conspicuously high proportion 

(NAZAROVA et al. in press). 

With respect to these findings more samples 

were investigated from oxbow lagoons of the 

river Magdalena and from the river Bogotá, 

which accounts for a major part of the 

contamination by domestic and industrial 

waste water introduced into the basin. Over 

both reaches heavy metal concentrations in the 

sediments varied over a wide range, reflecting 

moderate to high contamination (NAZAROVA 

et al. in press), i.e. comparable to river Rhine 

sediments (STEGGER et al. 2002). 

In the warm lowland stretches chironomid 

communities (16 sp./msp.) were dominated by 

several species of Chironomus, 

Goeldichironomus and Beardius. In contrast to 

the significantly high level of organic and 

heavy metal contamination deformity 

frequencies ranged from 1.3 to 9 percent only.

In the temperate highlands, species of 

Polypedilum, Parachironomus, as well as 

orthocladiids (Limnophyes, Orthocladius etc.) 

dominated the community (24 sp./msp.). 

Likewise to the above, deformity frequencies 

varied between 2.0 and 8 percent. 

The results nearly force the conclusion that the 

frequency of buccal deformities in chironomid 

larvae cannot be explained by a simple 

correlation with heavy metal concentrations in 

the studied area. As a first approach, two 

reasons for this can be assumed: Firstly, heavy 

metals represent only one of the possible 

stressors which may induce deformities 

(NAZAROVA et al. 2001, VERMEULEN 1995, 

WARWICK 1988). Actually there are no data 

about other agents in the region, and far less do 

we know about the role of synergisms on a 

small spatial scale (e.g. the coincidence with 

oxygen depletion, sediment particle structure 

etc.). After all, organic contamination and thus 

high heterotrophic activity, is a crucial factor 

that determines the structure of the benthic 

community in streams and rivers of the 

investigated region (RISS et al. in press). 

Secondly, the study itself covers a large spatial 

scale which stretches over distinct climatic and 

biogeographic zones. And above all, 

environmental conditions between the extreme 

sites are hardly comparable due to the 

temperature gradient of 18°C on the annual 

average. 

In spite of these restrictions, bioindicative 

assessments like the present one, continue to 

be of great interest for national environmental 

agencies and so may provide a certain financial 

basis for more specific work. Regarding this 

topic, the focus of interest should aim more on 

synergistic processes in the microhabitat, and 

be restricted to one biogeographic region, as 

was mentioned above. Even if political 

conditions in the country complicate the 

realization of such projects, a descriptive 

33 

approach provides a small, but valuable insight 

into ecological and physiological processes 

and by this a useful didactic tool for scientific 

education.

South American Congress of Limnology - 

Neolimnos 2002' in Leticia/Colombia with 

financial support of the DFG.

Xth BALBIANI RING WORKSHOP IN VARNA, BULGARIA 

By P. Michailova 

Institute of Zoology, Sofia, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences 

he Xth Balbiani Ring workshop was held on August 31 - September 4, 2001 in Varna - the third 

largest city in Bulgaria, the queen of the Bulgarian Black 

Sea coast. 27 participants were received at Xth Workshop by 

the host Prof.P. Michailova in the famous International 

House of Scientists " Fr.Joliot - Curie", St. Constantine, 

Varna. Institute of Zoology, laboratory of " Cytotaxonomy 

and Evolution" with the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences 

organized this jubilee Balbiani Ring Workshop, the first in 

the new century. Twenty years ago prof. I.I. Kiknadze and 

her collaborators organized in Novosobirsk the first 

Symposium on " Organization and expression of tissue 

specific genes" having as a main topic the so called Balbiani 

Ring structure of the chromosomes in a particular group of 

insects (Diptera), especially the family Chironomidae. Later, these Symposia were renamed Balbiani 

Ring Workshop. Every two years such workshops have been held in different countries in the world 

where molecular and cytological aspects of Balbiani Ring structure as well as a wide spectrum of 

problems such as heterochromatin, repetitive DNA, molecular and karyotype evolution, were 

discussed. 

Director of the Institute of the Zoology, Corr. member Prof. V. Golemansky opened the Xth Balbiani 

Ring workshop by a welcome address done by him and by the President of the Bulgarian Academy of 

Sciences, Acad. I. Yuhnovski. 

Prof. Kiknadze prepared the Balbiani Ring workshop’s history lecture "From gene to genome". 

Famous specialists came from USA, Brazil, Canada, Russia, Germany, Italy and Bulgaria to 

participate in the workshop. A total of 25 papers directly concerning Balbiani 

ring structure were presented during the workshop. They were presented in four 

sessions: Gene and amplification, Gene structure and evolution, Transposable 

elements and variability, Chromosome structure and evolution. 1 

Workshop, looking at the poster 

The program of the workshop offered sessions dealing with general progress at 

contrasting levels: from molecules to whole organisms, from biodiversity to 

evolution. The abstract book of the BR workshop appeared before the 

workshop. 

The workshop offered the opportunity for old friends to meet again, for 

colleagues from different countries to make new contacts and to develop new 

ideas. 

For one day all participants enjoyed the Bulgarian nature and customs, visiting 

the Botanical garden in north Bulgaria - Balchik and a typical Bulgarian village. 

We discussed the possibilities of the next BR workshop. Different opinions 

were considered: either to be a workshop at the next Chironomidae Symposium 

which will be in USA, or to be a workshop at the next congress of the European 

Society for Evolutionary Biology (ESEB). 

We believe that Xth BR workshop was successful and fruitful and all foreign guests had a pleasant 

stay in the beautiful ancient resort on the Black sea coast - St. Constantine

CURRENT BIBLIOGRAPHY 

Current Bibliography: 1 Jan. 2001 - 31 Dec. 2001 

by Odwin Hoffrichter 

[© 2002 by CHIRONOMUS, and O. Hoffrichter - Associated Editor] 

This listing is compiled, as usual, from many sources: databases, tables of contents of journals, references and 

citations of papers, autopsy of many periodicals, lists provided by authors (thanks to you!). One important source 

is always the Zoological Record (ZR). During the last years, Chironomidae references from the ZR volumes 

invariably yielded between 200-300 records, about one tenth of which used to be new, i.e. they had not been 

retrieved by other means. Nevertheless, not all titles of a particular year can be reported the following year, 

therefore, the current titles are preceded by supplementary of the earlier year (2 years at most). For older titles, 

go to the chironomid home page (http://www.ouc.bc.ca/fwsc/iwalker/intpanis/). As before, only printed titles are 

reported here. Online publications should be retrieved differently, in particular, check the chironomid home page 

for eventual references.
